 __ [ RELEASE NOTES ] ___________________________________________ ____ __ __ _
 ¦
 ¦ With two major motion pictures, a new album and an international mega-tour on
 ¦ tap for 2008, Vanessa Hudgens can sense the approaching cyclone. The media
 ¦ frenzy, the blur of time zones, the roar of the arena crowd: it's all part of
 ¦ the package. But having been around this block before, the 19-year-old singer
 ¦ is more than ready. With her new Hollywood Records CD, Identified, Vanessa
 ¦ Hudgens has matured, revealing a level of sophisticated artistry sure to
 ¦ thrill long-time fans and draw in new fans as well.
 ¦
 ¦ Working with A-list songwriter-producers like JR Rotem, Dr. Luke, Tim James &
 ¦ Antonina Armato, Vanessa took unexpected turns on the new album. "This time I
 ¦ did what I wanted to do," she says. "I always had a knack for a more soulful,
 ¦ jazzy sound, so right off the bat I wanted to kind of let loose, and come up
 ¦ with a sound no one has heard from me before." She's not exaggerating. For
 ¦ those familiar with her sweet-toned performances from the "High School
 ¦ Musical" films - which catapulted her to superstardom - or her 2006 debut CD,
 ¦ V, Vanessa has some gritty surprises in store. Vanessa's first single and
 ¦ video, "Sneakernight," is both fun and funky, and may end up as one of the
 ¦ CD's most enduring hits. Says Vanessa, "Dancing in sneakers makes it all the
 ¦ better. People haven't been able to see that side of me. I can kick butt!"
 ¦
 ¦ Identified kicks off with "Last Night," the raucously rhythmic opener
 ¦ featuring Vanessa singing over her own chanted harmonies. "I loved it the
 ¦ minute I first heard it," she says of the song. "It's really intricate and
 ¦ really fun, something you don't hear very often." Best known as a singer and
 ¦ actress, Vanessa is also a superb dancer, so for the new album she raised the
 ¦ stakes with pummeling dance tracks like "Hook It Up," "First Bad Habit" and
 ¦ the hook-laden title track, "Identified."
 ¦
 ¦ With "Don't Ask Why," "Don't Leave" and the heartfelt "Paper Cut," there's no
 ¦ shortage of ballads on the album. Vanessa says ballads are her forte. "I like
 ¦ showing the vulnerable side," she notes. "It's a position a lot of girls find
 ¦ themselves in, where love takes control of you and you don't have any control
 ¦ over it."
 ¦
 ¦ Songs like "Party on the Moon" and the hip-hop-flavored "Amazed" place
 ¦ Vanessa at the forefront of contemporary pop interpreters.
 ¦
 ¦ Vanessa ends the album with "Gone with the Wind," a wistful lament about
 ¦ change in the wake of faded love. The lyrics tell a tale of a confident woman
 ¦ evolving out of the wide-eyed girl of before.
 ¦
 ¦ Sound familiar? That's Vanessa Hudgens, who became a household name following
 ¦ her starring role in the smash 2005 made for TV Disney Channel film, "High
 ¦ School Musical." In the years since, in film, music and performance, Vanessa
 ¦ has proven her appeal to both youth and adult audiences.
 ¦
 ¦ From the age of eight, the Salinas, CA, native displayed a talent beyond her
 ¦ years. Starting with local productions of popular musicals, Vanessa later
 ¦ moved with her family to Southern California to pursue her dreams. With her
 ¦ 2004 motion picture debut in the critically acclaimed "Thirteen," Vanessa
 ¦ landed roles in "Thunderbirds," as well as TV's "Quintuplets," "Still
 ¦ Standing," "The Brothers Garcia" and "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody."
 ¦
 ¦ Everything changed with the January 2006 premiere of the Disney Channel movie
 ¦ "High School Musical," in which she starred as Gabriella Montez. The film
 ¦ gathered steam right away, spawning a hit soundtrack, a worldwide concert
 ¦ tour, a show at Walt Disney World and even a book series. It made superstars
 ¦ of Vanessa and her co-star, Zac Efron.
 ¦
 ¦ "We had no idea," she says, when asked if she sensed at the time the film
 ¦ would become a cultural phenomenon. "We were just having fun: just kids doing
 ¦ what we love most, and it turned out big."
 ¦
 ¦ Vanessa's RIAA certified gold debut CD, V, shipped September 2006, with hit
 ¦ singles like "Come Back To Me" and "Say OK" following soon after. She
 ¦ reprised her role as Gabriella in "High School Musical 2," which premiered on
 ¦ the Disney Channel in August 2007. That same month, Vanessa was named Choice
 ¦ Breakout Singer at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards. She also landed commercial
 ¦ contracts with companies like Neutrogena and Mark Ecko.
 ¦
 ¦ As for her acting career, Vanessa is set to star in the highly anticipated
 ¦ "High School Musical 3," which reunites the cast from the first two films.
 ¦ "It's got all of us back in senior year," she says. "It's going to be pretty
 ¦ crazy, with so much more dancing and singing. We're just stepping it up."
 ¦ Vanessa will also co-star in the comedy, "Rock On," alongside Alyson
 ¦ Michalka, Gaelan Connell, and Lisa Kudrow. She plays Sam, a 15-year old high
 ¦ school outcast with an enduring love of music. "It's a fun movie about
 ¦ friendship," says Vanessa. "I got to play a completely different character,
 ¦ one who is downbeat and moodier."
 ¦
 ¦ In real life, Vanessa Hudgens couldn't be more upbeat, especially with the
 ¦ release of Identified. Not only does the album affirm her standing in
 ¦ contemporary pop, it points the way for a gifted artist on the ascent. "I'm
 ¦ just really happy and thankful for my fans and the support everyone continues
 ¦ to give me," she says. "I feel I'm at such a great point in life. I hope
 ¦ everyone enjoys my album, because I totally enjoyed making it."
