Rarely does an artist catch our eye like Hollywood Records’ Zendaya has. At the age of only 17, the teen-star has done more than anyone her age could even begin to dream of. She was the star in a major Disney Channel hit show, Shake It Up, was a finalist in the ABC Primetime show Dancing With The Stars, and has already embarked on an extremely promising music career.

Zendaya’s debut single “Replay” was released in July, 2013. The song instantly went into the Top 40, and was pushed to radio stations across the country. “Replay” even went RIAA Certified Platinum in January, 2014.

Zendaya’s debut album “Zendaya” was released in September of that year, and was well-received by critics and fans worldwide. Many times when an artist releases their first album, you see many things that are wrong or need to be improved; not the case with “Zendaya.” Splattered with dance-pop anthems like “Replay” and “Fireflies,” her self-titled album also has smooth and catchy songs like “Bottle You Up” and “Love You Forever”. Zendaya also proves she isn’t only about pop with the hip-hop track “My Baby.”

Another note about Zendaya: her voice is absolutely incredible. There’s been an abundance of stars in the industry with decent voices, but her's is unparalleled. Her voice may sound processed in some of the her recorded tracks, but listening to the acoustic versions, it’s obvious that she actually does have an amazing voice, no processing required. 

We can only hope Zendaya is working on her second album and will go out on tour soon!
