Music Review: What Time Is It? (CD Single)
Rate This Article
What Parents Should Know
Parents need to know that this CD single was designed to
whet your tween's appetite as she waits for the Disney
Channel's event of the year:
High School Musical 2. The content is family-safe and
dance-party fun, and the package features the single -- a
cheerful, rockin' anthem to summer -- as well as a video
preview (activated when you put the disc into your computer; it
doesn't work on a regular DVD player), and a fold-out poster of
the six stars.
Families can talk about the hype around
High
School Musical. Do you think the build up works or are you
tired of hearing about it by the time the movie comes out? Does
hearing the single make you want to see the movie or buy the
entire album? Why do you think movies and artists put out
singles before the full CD comes out?
WHAT TIME IS IT? is a bouncy, good-time ode to summer fun, released in anticipation of the Disney Channel's feature High School Musical 2 . "What time is it? Summertime! It's our vacation/What time is it? Party time! That's right, say it loud/What time is it? Time of our lives, anticipation/What time is it? Summertime! School's out, scream and shout..." perfectly captures the delightful anticipation of the beginning of summer.
With a few solo lines by each of the featured stars (Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, and Taylor), the song provides irresistible, can't-keep-your-feet-still, tween-friendly, dance-party fun.
