Today is a big day for teen star Selena Gomez.... here latest album, A Year Without Rain, just dropped and it's getting good reviews. Selena sounds so good on this album that she's even being compared to the likes of Katy Perry.

Selena Gomez

From the Washington Post,

Disney princesses seem to come along every 15 minutes, but few of them charm like Selena Gomez, the serene and adorable star of the Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place who resembles a pint-size Snow White ordered out of a Delia's catalog.

A Year Without Rain, the 18-year-old's second release with her backing band, the Scene, cleaves to a familiar Disney formula: Match the girl of the moment to the pop craze of six months ago. Before she went rogue, Miley Cyrus was a Britney/Avril pop avatar. Demi Lovato went the "authentic" John Mayer singer-songwriter route. On "Rain," Gomez is positioned as a younger, more chaste incarnation of Katy Perry, with the dead-inside electro-pop tracks to prove it.

Selena tweeted about her album release, saying,

    "Intuition" and "spotlight" aren't that great, but I love "Off the Chain"

    I can't believe she's only 18! (it was mentioned on the Celebrity Take with Jake on Radio Disney) She's bringing up her popularity, not only by being in Wizards of Waverly Place on Disney, but her songs are absolutely great! "Spotlight", "A Year Without Rain", and "Round and Round" are great, but I think personally, are the best three songs on this album.

    "A Year Without Rain" is a perfect pop album. I loved the entire album because it is fun and bubbly, and I also loved how she incorporated her hispanic heritage by recording "A Year Without Rain" in spanish, and the line "vamos a la playa" in "Summer's Not Hot" just shows why Selena is a pop princess to be reckoned with.
