Why I hate Hollywood Records...

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The #1 reason I hate Hollywood Records is that if the first single from an album doesn't do well on mainstream radio, they drop all promotion for it. The thing that really bothers me about it is the only promote it to Radio Disney/Disney Channel anyway. This was the case for Raven-Symoné, star of Disney Channel's "That's So Raven" & "The Cheetah Girls." The first single from her forth studio album was "Double Dutch Bus" which was not a good choice, but probably was only chosen to promote "College Road Trip."



Rather than a typical Disney pop album, this album is filled with hot R&B beats which go great with Raven's vocals. While the opening track "That Girl" is not that great lyric-wise, the beat makes the song good. It is followed by "Anti-Love Song" where Raven sings about lost love and dealing with the pain.



The only songs that have a hint of Disney in them are the songs from "College Road Trip." (In the Pictrues & Double Dutch Bus) Also, there is one song that I do not like... "Girl Get It" where she tries rapping. Possibly the best song on the disc is the ballad, "Hollywood Life."



Overall, this is a great CD. It does have it's share of filler, but it doesn't slow the disc down too much. I Recommend it if you liked her last album, "This is My Time.""
