AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Selena Gomez & The Scene

Artist:Selena Gomez & The Scene
Song:Love You Like A Love Song
Album:For You





So most folks became familiar with Selena Gomez as a teen on the Disney Channel series Wizards Of Waverly Place. While she was still on the show, she decided to form the band Selena Gomez & The Scene instead of recording solo. The band had some success but Selena was more successful as a solo artist after the band split up. Selena is 16 years old and a Disney channel star. She signs with the Disney owned Hollywood label and she started her own production company. In 2008 she announces that she will form a band. She even said that Hollywood was against it and that she should record solo. As a compromise, she called the band Selena Gomez & The Scene. She held auditions to form the band. And then they don't even play on the band's 2009 debut album Kiss & Tell. She recorded it like a solo album using various producers. They did play on the 2010 CD A Year Without Rain and they did tour. But the whole decision to form a band in the first place didn't make any sense. She was told that and she did it anyway. Love You Like A Love Song is from the 2011 CD When The Sun Goes Down. As with the first album, it doesn't look like the band played on the album. Love You Like A Love Song was written and produced by Rock Mafia who have worked a lot with Selena. It wasn't a top ten hit. The band did OK but they weren't a huge success. So it wasn't surprising when Selena announced after they finished touring that the band was going on hiatus and she was going to concentrate on her acting. The band never reformed and Selena released her solo debut in 2013. She's been a lot more successful especially since she moved from Hollywood to Interscope. This budget comp mostly featuring Selena Gomez & The Scene songs was released after she left Hollywood. But you'll notice they didn't put the band name on the album cover. In the end, Selena Gomez & The Scene was a minor sidebar to her career. Here's the video for Love You Like A Love Song by Selena Gomez & The Scene.
