Quick bio – Mitchel Musso plays Oliver in Hannah Montana, is the brother of Mason Musso from Metro Station and is the voice of Jeremy in Phineas and Ferb. If all that means nothing to you, it means you probably don’t have the Disney Channel!!
As a product of the Disney factory Mitchel Musso is going to be a clean cut American, although on this album he does like to pseudo rock, a bit like Busted, McFly, MCR, etc.
Some tracks are co-written by Mitchel, and to be honest he can hold together a decent tune.
Highlights here include 'Us Against The World’ a duet with Katelyn Tarver (another American teen pop star), 'Shout It’ which features his brother Mason, and is quite Metro Station; and '(You Didn't Have To) Walk Away’ which is the only ballad on the album, and shows a different side – it’s a bit like OneRepublic in places – not a bad thing though!!.
Also worthy of a mention is the very upbeat opener 'Hey’ and also 'Welcome to Hollywood’ another bounding upbeat number.
It won’t change the face of music, but as teen-pop star albums go it’s not a bad debut effort.
