Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus

Description

This 2-disc set features 10 all new Hannah Montana songs from the #1-rated Disney Channel series, as well as a 2nd CD including 10 brand-new original songs by Miley Cyrus!Tweens aren t often heralded for their good judgment and excellent taste (Heelys--hello), but if any young starlet can redeem them, it s Hannah Montana. On this, the second soundtrack from the Disney Channel series, Miley Cyrus takes her cues from her TV alter ego, who has an alter ego of her own: Disc 1 features Miley as Hannah, hair-tossing pop princess by weekend, likable schoolgirl by weekday (see "Old Blue Jeans" and "True Friends" to get a sense of each episode s un-cloying sweetness). But disc 2 is the start of something new, as her friends over on the High School Musical set might say: Miley sings strictly as her spunky, truth-telling self. This yields a number of pepped-up pop tracks bound to vibrate through the walls of pink bedrooms everywhere--"See You Again" is a boy-centric song instantly relatable to anyone who s ever been in seventh grade and suffered a bout of bashfulness, "East Northumberland High" puts a punk spin on an I m-just-not-into-you tale, and "Clear" bounces on a reggae beat while canceling any doubt about our heroine s ability to stand up for herself. Like Hannah before her, Miley makes the best of both worlds--this well-worth-it set, by turns rockin and reflective, is a masterful example. --Tammy La Gorce
