[edit] Album informationIn September 2007, the album's second single, "He Said She Said" was re-released. Tisdale also admitted that the album was called Headstrong because she is a headstrong type of person.[4] The album generated mixed reviews. Oye! Awards (Premios Oye! in Spanish) nominated Tisdale in the category International Breakthrough Artist of 2007. The album was #6 on "Album of The Year" by Billboard Readers' Choice.[5] In Japan, the album was released twice in two editions.[6] The album was certified Gold in Brazil selling 40,000 copies.[7] [edit] Promotion Tisdale performed several songs from the album at the High School Musical: The Concert tour.[8] Tisdale also performed "Be Good to Me" and "He Said She Said" on several American TV programs to promote the album. Warner Bros. Records posted a commercial for the album, which was in rotation on television. The music video for "He Said She Said" promoted Eckō Red. In January 2007, Tisdale started a mall tour, Headstrong Tour Across America in which Tisdale had a Eckō fashion show and performed three songs from the album. She performerd in several commercial centres in the United States. The album was re-released in the Christmas of 2007 in a Holiday Edition with the standard CD, the There's Something About Ashley DVD in a digital format and included some merchandise. The holiday edition became available again in 2008 for the holidays.[9] The album was re-released again in a limited Deluxe Edition format in Germany with the DVD.[10] [edit] Critical receptionAn Allmusic review said that "Headstrong's sound is much more mature than the soundtrack's teen pop-meets-musicals vibe, incorporating heavy hip-hop beats, dancehall's call-and-response, Middle Eastern elements, and other mid-2000s pop music trends into the Disney pop sound."[11] A Blender review said Tisdale "doesn’t import much of her character’s pushy spunk in this transition from Disney to dance-pop."[12] Jamie Ross of Wild Life said: "It is hard to ignore a good pop album. There is just something about a song's dance-ability that brings out the best moods and moves in a person. Most of these albums, however, are dragged down by the ballads usually scattered throughout. This is the case with Ashley Tisdale's first solo release, Headstrong."[13] Commonsense Media called the lyrics "family-safe, but unsubstantial, flirting around the edges of sexual innuendo on a couple of tracks", and Tisdale "comes across as cute, fun, and buoyant -- anything but headstrong". While the music is, "rhythmic and catchy".[14] [edit] Track listing
