Writing and development

After participating in High School Musical , Hollywood Records made a proposal for Vanessa to start a solo music career. The album was produced in two months as the record company insisted that the album was to be recorded and produced quickly. [5]

"I did it my way. My single "Come Back to Me" is kind of pop and R&B, but the rest of the album brings a bit of pop rock, electronic music, and some ballads. It is a mixture of everything," said Vanessa, who at first thought of making a purely dance album. [6]

Hudgens stated the title of the album stands for Vanessa, but also for variety, because the album is a mix of genres and styles. [7]

She also recorded three covers. "Whatever Will Be", which was originally released by Tammin Sursok the year before, "Afraid", which was initially recorded by Melissa Schuman and intended for her unreleased album "Stereotyped", and "Let Go" which was originally sung by Raffish.

Release

Singles

"Come Back to Me" was released as V's lead single on September 12, 2006. It peaked at number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Hudgens's highest-charting single as a solo artist. [8] Internationally, the track was a moderate commercial success, peaking at number 12 in France [8] and peaking at top 40 in Australia as well as peaking at number 6 in New Zealand. [9] The song received generally positive reviews from critics. [10] The accompanying music video featured Hudgens dancing and socializing with her friends, including her sister, Stella Hudgens, and Alexa Nikolas.

"Say OK" was released as the second single from album on January 12, 2007, and was sent to US mainstream radio two months later, on March 27, 2007. The track was comparatively less commercially successful than the album's previous single, peaking at number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100. [11] There are two versions of music video, the first version takes place on the High School Musical: The Concert Tour in Seattle, Washington. While the second officially released version, featuring Zac Efron, has gathered over 180 million views on YouTube.

"Let's Dance" was released as a promo single only in the United States. The song was released digitally on September 25, 2007. [12] The live version of the song recorded during the High School Musical tour was used for promotion. The song was also used on Dancing with the Stars on US network ABC. The song failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100.

Upon its release, V received generally positive reviews from most music critics. Mentioned in Identified review, [18] Heather Phares praised the album "was her first step toward a less overtly Disney-affiliated career: released by the studio's Hollywood label, it used Christina Aguilera's soulful pop as a template; even if its songs were a bit faceless, they had surprisingly sophisticated production values." She noted that Hudgens "sings about love, dancing, and hanging with her girls" and repeated again in Identified, "the production outclasses the songs and the singing".

Nate Cavalieri of Rhapsody Music said: "This collection of pop and sugary R&B keeps the messages squeaky clean, even with hints that she is willing to break your shyness. The singles are well built and the best are "Come Back to Me" dancing to "Let's Dance" and a dedication surprisingly emotive long-distance, "Afraid". [19]

Common Sense Media's Tony Whittum said: "The first album Hudgens is well positioned to win the approval of the teen market. Her 12 relatively simple, romantic and sweet pop songs about boys, hanging out with friends, dancing, female power and tribulations of a very young life are delivered with the latest plain, recycled, computer programmed beats and hip-hop." He further added, "Hudgens is strong, stable and comfortable in the medium, as when she is singing a dance song "Let's Dance" and pop rock "Never Underestimate a Girl." Otherwise, your voice can range from the diminutive and shy the strident edge. With her voice and her musical talent mature, it would be nice to see Hudgens take more risks and produce something more original. Then, as their audience matures, they will not leave it behind". [20]

The album was nominated as #7 on "Album of The Year" by Billboard Readers' Choice. [21]

Chart performance

V debuted on the US Billboard 200 in early October 2006 at number twenty-four on the chart, with 34,000 copies sold in its first week. [22] The album dropped off the Billboard 200 after thirty-two weeks on the chart. On February 27, 2007, the album was certified gold in the US for shipments to retailers of 500,000 copies. [2] The album was certified platinum in Argentina for sales of 8,000 copies, under DVD category. [23] As of April 2008, the album has sold 570,000 copies in the US. [3]
