Editorial Reviews

Today, at the age of 17, Mitchel Musso is easy to find. When he is not in the latest teen magazines, he is a regular on the Emmy-nominated Disney Channel series "Hannah Montana," which has earned him a devoted following of frenzied fans. Mitchel portrays the role of Oliver `Smoken' Oken and he is currently shooting the third season of the hit series. His other TV credits include guest-starring on Fox Network's "Stacked" and "Oliver Beane," the made for TV movie "Trial by Fire" with Chuck Norris, the Disney Channel Original Movies "Life is Ruff," and "Hatching Pete," plus the 2008 Disney Channel Games. Mitchel is also the voice 'Jeremy' on the Disney Channel animated series "Phineas and Ferb." Mitchel made his musical debut the summer of 2007 where he performed at Universal Studios City Walk. While on hiatus from "Hannah Montana," he toured with Radio Disney's Jingle Jam and made additional stops throughout the U.S. for the "Hannah Montana" Pre-Parties that he hosted. Most recently, Mitchel and his band opened on select dates for the 2008 Tour of Gymnastics Superstars with Olympic medalists Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson and others. Mitchel recently had two Top 10 hits on Radio Disney's Top 30 chart. His cover of "Lean on Me," which featured a music video in rotation on Disney Channel and The Snow Buddies DVD, spent 21 weeks on the chart and peaked at #7. In May 2008, the Disneymania 6 CD (Walt Disney Records) included the track "If I Didn't Have You" which peaked at #5 and spent 16 weeks on the chart. Last summer Mitchel toured with his band and dancers, started recording his debut album, and filmed his role as 'Oliver' in the Walt Disney Pictures film "Hannah Montana The Movie." For his debut album, Mitchel is working in Los Angeles and New York with some of the music industry's top producers and songwriters including Sam Hollander (Metro Station, Gym Class Heroes), Dave Katz (Coheed + Cambria, Gym Class Heroes, Boys Like Girls) and Curt Schneider (Five for Fighting). The album will feature 4 songs co-written by Mitchel, plus a collaboration with his brother Mason from Metro Station. The music video for "The In Crowd," the first single from Mitchel's forthcoming album is currently on rotation on Disney Channel and can be heard on Radio Disney. Mitchel was recently tapped Male Pop Rookie of 2009 during MTV News' special feature "Pop Week," which included a behind-the-scenes look at the music video shoot for "The In Crowd." Mitchel's self-titled debut will be released by Walt Disney Records on June 2nd.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not A Bad Debut, June 3, 2009

If you're 13 or younger, you're familiar with Mitchel Musso as the character Oliver on the Disney TV show Hannah Montana. For people like myself who are a little older, there really is no connection here. His debut CD titled after his name is a good debut. It's a typical Disney CD with pop/rock songs, a ballad, and some electro-pop songs. Think of the CD as a mix between Hannah Montana and Metro Station. Some songs do stand out above the rest:

Us Against The World: A good electro-pop song, and it's also a duet as well.

Do It Up: A song written by Max Martin, anything by him is a great song in my opinion. It's a rocker song similiar to Ashley Angel's songs also produced by Max.

Welcome to Hollywood: A really good song, very similiar to "Waking Up In Vegas" by Katy Perry. It's like a sequel to this song without really trying.

(You Didn't Have To) Walk Away: The only ballad on the album. The chorus sounds a lot like One Republic's "Apologize." The chorus is very repititive, but it still works out for the song.

Overall I was cleverly suprised by the album, and I think it's a good debut.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Debut By A Disney Boy, September 12, 2009

I'm not hugely into the music of all the Disney stars, though even at 35 I find the shows to be entertaining, since there aren't many family sitcoms on anymore.

Mitchel's debut CD is one I can recommend to people of all ages. Its good for the pre-teens because he is who he is, Oliver Orken from Hannah Montana, but he has music in his blood, after all his brother is in Metro Station and the talent has seemed to rub off on his baby brother.

The songs Speed Dial, Hey, The In Crowd and Shout It are infectious and fun, but the best part is the lyrics aren't so bubble gum that the parents and any random listener would feel odd listening to them.

Definitely an album worth having, by one of the younger set. And now I feel really old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Debut!, October 26, 2010

Mitchel Musso has made an impression on me on Hannah Montana. I remember hearing him sing for the first time on Hannah Montana I thought he was pretty darn good. He has always been one of my favorite Disney stars.
This is his debut album, and a great way to enter the music world too! His songs are catchy and who doesn't like a good pop song? I love every single song on this album and each have a meaning. I catch myself singing these songs to myself or putting the album on repeat. It's just that good. :)
I recommend this to Mitchel Musso fans and people who like pop music!

Can't wait to hear more of his music!
