2008 studio album by Vanessa Hudgens
Identified is the second studio album by Vanessa Hudgens , released on June 24, 2008 in Japan.[ 1] The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. Hudgens embarked on her first concert tour, Identified Summer Tour between August and September 2008 in support of the album.
"Sneakernight " was released as the first and only single from the album. The track, produced by J.R. Rotem , was released on May 27, 2008 in the United States and February 8, 2009 in Europe. The song peaked at number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 . The music video was filmed by R. Malcolm Jones and premiered on June 13, 2008.
Identified has received generally favorable reviews, having a 63 out of 100 score based on 7 reviews.[ 11] Billboard said that the album "panders to the preteen demo with stop-start pop that ranges from pleasant (the title track) to dull ("Amazed") to off-putting ("Hook It Up"). But for little girls, this is one nonstop sing-along."[ 12] The New York Times said that "a handful of songs like this would have sufficed to help mature her image, and yet "Identified" is far more interesting and unexpected."[ 9]
Blender gave it a three stars out of five, and claimed that her "voice was made to rip, and when she lets go just a little, the coyness turns sultry—proof that she might just have a life after high school."[ 13] Variety said that Identified "shows that the High School Musical veteran is definitely ready to graduate. The better parts of the album find her reaching for a more mature sound, but she hedges her bets with large portions of treacly teen-pop...The weakest link in most of the songs is Hudgens thin, piping voice."[ 14]
