“I’m going to be in a band — no Selena Gomez stuff.”


My first though upon hearing this news, was, oh, so that’s why the Rocker Angel shoot happened. Have to admit I wasn’t a fan of that shoot at all, even if she did pull it off. All I can pray and hope for is not to see that shoot as her album cover.
And onto the news – Selena signed on with Hollywood Records recently (I’m thinking good thoughts about this) and revealed to MTV about her not being a solo artist and instead, forming her own band.

The actress/singer is, not surprisingly, “super excited” about starting work on it. But if fans of the 16-year-old, who stars in “The Wizards of Waverly Place” on the Disney Channel, are expecting it to be all about Selena, they’d better think again.
“I’m going to be in a band — no Selena Gomez stuff,” she told MTV News last week. “I’m not going to be a solo artist. I think that I don’t want my name attached to it.”

The star said that the album will have a pop/rock feel to it, and she plans to play instruments on some of the album’s tracks.
“I basically want to make music that is fun and that parents and kids can jump around to and have a good time to,” she said. “I will be singing, and I’m learning drums and playing electric guitar.”
She even wants to take a backseat at times during live gigs. “I would like to try it and kind of switch it up,” she said. “When I do the tour and stuff, I would like to do maybe a section on the piano or on guitar or on drums.”
And although a musical career is relatively new to her, Selena is determined not to bite anyone else’s style. “You know the [Jonas] boys and people like Demi [Lovato] are my friends, so I definitely would not copy or do anything that they did. They’re really good, obviously, at what they’re doing, so I’m going to let them have that. But it’s also just kind of fun to learn things.”

The article also goes on to talk about the ‘First Date’ story between Selena Gomez and the youngest Jonas brother of the band, Nick. I can’t wait to see Selena go all Rocker Chick on us. Also, be sure to watch the video below to hear Selena talk about the big issues: Jonas and Global Warming ;)

    So her dating Nick and global warming are in the same category? lol ;)

    I REALLY like Selena. She’s really natural to watch in WoWP, and I find her speaking voice so pleasant. It’s high enough to be feminine, but slightly lower than most other females on TV, so it makes for a nice shift.

    And I like that she’s more band-oriented, and I hope she pushes through with that. A good change of pace.

    Congrats to Selena and maybe Nick or Demi can help her with her voice since she’s going to sing.

  9. nick says:

    i’m kind of mad that selena isn’t doing any solo stuff. she had the voice for it. her songs out already are amazing! i will definetley buy her album the very second it comes out. even if she is in a band. she should stick with her selena sound, like all of her other songs. hopefully it’s not full blown ROCK music.

  10. Trisha says:

    I think she’d be awesome in a band but I still prefer her solo. I can’t wait for her album, even though she’s in a band. I still love her though.
