Music Review: "One and the Same" (CD single)
What Parents Should Know
Parents need to know that this duet by Selena Gomez and Demi
Lovato promotes admirable qualities like loyalty, acceptance,
and friendship. The song is from the soundtrack for the Disney
Channel movie
Princess Protection
Program.
Families can talk about how real life influences music. Demi
Lovato and Selena Gomez are close friends in real life. Do you
think this makes the single more believable? Maybe more
enjoyable? Is Disney capitalizing on this friendship because it
is something young girls can easily relate to?
Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato collaborate on this first release from the soundtrack of the Disney Channel movie Princess Protection Program. ONE AND THE SAME is all about enjoying a close girlfriend-to-girlfriend relationship, despite differences in background, personalities, and styles, and is loosely based on the premise of the movie.
Disney scores another successful musical soundtrack song with One and the Same. The song's message of tolerance and acceptance is a good one for tweens navigating new social territory. The driving pop-rock guitars, cute lyrics, and racing beats work well with the Gomez/Lovato sound. Their effervescent vocals and rockin' chorus should make even parents want to bob their heads along (at least for the first 50 listens).
