You know her name and her face, now get ready to know her song. Bridgit Mendler, star of Disney Channel’s Good Luck Charlie and GL’s October/November 2012 cover girl, is dropping her debut album, Hello My Name Is…, this Monday, Oct. 22.

 

The lead single from the album, “Ready or Not,” has already been released and is quite the hit. This funk-infused tune is totes dance-worthy, and you’ll be singing along as soon as the song hits the chorus.

 

Bridgit brings the beat in “Hurricane,” where she belts out some sweet raps about being in the middle of a stormy relationship. When you get down, turn on “City Lights,” which is about never forgetting your shine, or “Rocks at My Window,” which talks about wanting to get away and go on an adventure with a guy. 

 

In the piano-powered pop ballad, “All I See is Gold,” Miss Mendler shows off her vocal range, hitting some harmonious high notes. And then there are all those cozy feelings you get in the fall, are brought to life in her “The Fall Song.”  Whereas in “Blonde,” Bridgit pokes fun at the stereotypes about her natural hair color.

 

The rest of Hello My Name Is… is riddled with funky, R&B-inspired beats, fun and catchy lyrics, and Bridgit’s sweet as sugar voice. You’ll want to throw your hands in the air and dance around with your besties as soon as you hear this entire album, which we think will def go straight to the top of the charts.

 

Be sure to check out Hello My Name Is… when it releases this Monday. Then come back and share your favorite track.

I don't see how you couldn't like the album! I love her fun, funky, R&B pop style and vibes. She's so different and cool. You shouldn't hate a song after just one listen. You don't enjoy it as much as the ones on the radio because you're not accustomed to them. I love City Lights and Blonde the most. The radio wore out Ready or Not. Go Bridgit! Go mendies!

Honestly, I listened to this album and expected to really hate it. "Ready Or Not" was catchy when it first came out, and I expected the rest of the album to be a repeat of the same thing. But I was glad I was totally wrong. The album includes some really soulful vocals and great R&B-esque beats from someone who came out of the Disney Channel vault. I'm seventeen. I should hate anything from DC, right? That's not necessarily true at all. This album exceeded my expectations immensely. True, the lyrics are quite simpleton (i.e. "You'll be my William, I'll be your Kate"), but Mendler's demographic is the tween age. She's selling something completely marketable, and it works. I'm certainly sold.

I honestly don't believe every song is as great as GL is describing. Of course they'd give her high praise, she's their cover girl! A few songs are probably pretty good, like her single above, but in reality, I bet this sounds similar to every teen-targeted album out there. The topics of Most of these songs sound original, but also completely stupid. Like being blond and fall? It sounds like what i would've written about at age 5. GL never ever writes anything but stellar reviews for anything and everything. Get real, GL, not everything is fabulous all the time. It's okay to give a mediocre or bad review once in while, those sound more real and are sometimes better to read! It's not interesting to hear that everything is great. I'm also sick of GL trying to sound cool by saying things like "cray-cray" and "totes". They sound really lame and poser-y. I feel like I'm getting too old for this magazine. Maybe it's time to switch. These are just my opinions though, I wish Bridget good luck.

MOD! Plz answer!
Ok so 2 things.
I'm Super confident around my friends, but when i get around other girls, I tend to get shy & soft spoken, how do I embrace myself?
There's this guy I REALLY like. I have 2 classes w/ him but it seems like we never talk, how do I talk to him more w/ out being weird?

Hey girl,

It's normal to be shy--just introduce yourself and try to get to know them. They'll ask you questions about yourself and try to get to know you too! Everyone can be shy at times, but once you get to know other girls you'll feel more comfortable around them. If you have two classes with your crush, you could use that as a conversation starting point--ask him how he's liking your classes and maybe you could even study together! Once you break the ice you can talk to him about other stuff and start getting to know him as friends, which won't seem weird at all Smile
