Vanessa Hudgens

An apposite snapshot of the winsome High School Musical starlet's off-screen talents, this sugared collection of RnB-shaded pop keeps the messages squeaky clean, even if her inflection hints that she's willing to break curfew. The well-built singles are here in spades, the best of which are "Come Back to Me," the stomping "Let's Dance" and a surprisingly emotive long-distance dedication, "Afraid."
