Victorious 2.0: More Music from the Hit TV Show is the second soundtrack and the first extended play for the hit Nickelodeon television series Victorious , with songs performed by Victoria Justice and the Victorious cast.

Contents

The album was released on June 5, 2012 by Nickelodeon Records, in association with Sony Music. [2] [3] In Australia, the album was released on November 9 to iTunes and retail stores. To promote the release there, Victoria Justice came to Australia for her first ever Australian Promo Tour, where she visited Melbourne and opened a Victorious fashion line and then traveled to Sydney and Hamilton Island. Prior to the release of the album, "Make It in America" was serviced to Australian radio and media as a single from the soundtrack on November 1, 2012 by Sony Music. [4]

Similar to the show's previous soundtrack, some tracks of this album feature slightly different mixes in comparison with their television counterparts. For example, "Shut Up and Dance" appeared now as a solo performance by Justice in this album, while in the show, other cast members trade verses with her.
