History

2008–2009: Formation

Gomez first announced plans of forming a band in 2008, citing Paramore as an inspiration for the decision. [16] In an interview with Jocelyn Vena of MTV News, Gomez said: "I'm going to be in a band. I'm not going to be a solo artist ... I don't want my name attached to it. I will be singing..." [17] Gomez later announced on Twitter that her band would be called The Scene, [18] an "ironic jab" at people who called Gomez a "wannabe scene". [18] Gomez stated that her label, Hollywood Records, did not want her to have a band due to Gomez already having a "fan base", leading her to name the band Selena Gomez & the Scene to keep both herself and the label happy. [19] [20] In an interview with Z100 New York, Gomez stated that the band was formed through a long and exhausting audition process, [21] saying that although she would preferably like "all guys" in the band, she was mainly looking for someone who's "very passionate about music and can show me that they can rock out. I like having people with me to lean on and write with and have fun with."

The band's original line-up featured Gomez on vocals, Ethan Roberts on lead guitar and backing vocals, Greg Garman on drums, Joey Clement on bass guitar, and Nick Foxer on keyboard and backing vocals. Gomez posted a video of the audition and interview process for band members as the fourth episode of a vlog series on her official YouTube channel titled Under Pressure. Shortly after the band was formed, Foxer left for unknown reasons, and was replaced by Dane Forrest. [22] During a live performance for UNICEF in 2012, Gomez confirmed that Ethan Roberts would be leaving the group to pursue solo projects, with Gomez wishing him luck. [23] He was replaced with Drew Taubenfeld that same year; unlike Roberts, Taubenfeld does not sing backing vocals. [24] The group has also featured various back-up singers during tours, including YouTube star Christina Grimmie, who toured with Gomez & the Scene in 2010. [25] [26]

2009–2010: Kiss & Tell and A Year Without Rain

The band's debut studio album, Kiss & Tell , was released on September 29, 2009. It includes collaborations with writers and producers such as Gina Schock of the Go-Go's and Rock Mafia. Predominantly a pop rock album, Kiss & Tell also incorporates a combination of other styles, including dance music. [27] Being compared to releases by fellow Disney stars Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, [28] the album was met with mixed reception, with some critics praising the album for its "fun" nature, and others criticizing Gomez's vocal performance. [29] [30] [31] Kiss & Tell debuted at number 9 on the Billboard 200 in the US. [32] It was later certified Gold in the country for sales exceeding 500,000 copies. [33] It was successful in other territories as well, entering the Top 10 in Greece and Poland, [34] as well as entering the Top 20 in the United Kingdom. [35] To promote the album, Gomez & the Scene made numerous televised performances on shows such as season nine of Dancing with the Stars , [36] The Ellen DeGeneres Show , [37] [38] Late Night with Jimmy Fallon , [39] and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest [40] among other shows.

The EP includes the band's cover of "Winter Wonderland" as well as Christmas covers by other successful artists. [42]

The band's lead single, "Falling Down" had minor commercial success, peaking at number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100, [43] [44] [45] [46] The music video premiered after the world premiere of Gomez' TV-movie Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie on August 28, 2009. The single was described as being "pop-rock" by Bill Lamb of About.com, [47] while Digital Spy compared it to music released by American singer Pink. [28] Their single "Falling Down" was featured on Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 12 , along with songs by other popular artists. Jams 12 was officially released on March 30, 2010. [48] The second single from the album, "Naturally" was released on December 11, 2009, along with a music video for digital download.

Following the success of Kiss & Tell, work on the band's second studio album began in 2010. The finished product, A Year Without Rain , was released on September 17, 2010. [50] The album continues the dance-pop/electropop style of the group's hit single "Naturally". "I think we wanted to do something a little fun. We wanted to do a techno vibe," said Gomez. Gomez said in an interview with Z100 New York [21] that it would feature some songs that did not make it onto the first album and that the rest of the band would be much more included on it. In an interview with MTV, Gomez said, "I'm really proud of this record, it's very different, and kind of shows [our] growth a little bit in music... I think if anything the lyrics are more powerful, in a way." The record was dedicated to her fans to thank them for their support. [51] It debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number 4 with sales of a little over 66,000, barely selling more than Kiss & Tell. [52] Much like the band's previous album, A Year Without Rain was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales exceeding 500,000 copies in the US. [53] The album received a mixed to positive reviews where some noticed that Gomez's vocals contain the Auto-Tune effect. [54] The record's two singles achieved moderate success.

On July 13, one of the album's tracks "Live Like There's No Tomorrow" was released as a single from the movie Ramona and Beezus , starring Gomez. [60] [61] [62] Despite the success of the film, the song failed to chart on any major charts worldwide. As of 2012, the album has sold an estimated 609,000 copies in the United States, according to Billboard . [63]

The album and subsequent singles were promoted mainly through televised performances and concert tours, much like with their previous album.

[70] In 2011, the band performed "A Year Without Rain" and won Favorite Breakout Artist on the Peoples Choice Awards. [71] The album was further promoted through the band's A Year Without Rain Tour, which was both critically and commercially successful.
