Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez has selected "A Year Without Rain" to be the second official single to be lifted from her upcoming sophomore of the same title name. The full song has made its way to the Internet yesterday, September 2nd. Quite a change from the electro-pop "Round and Round".

AYWR is a really nice midtempo ballad with a subtle dance-music influence. Selena actually SINGS this time, demostrating her cute vocals. Good lyrics, good chorus = awesome song. "Round and Round" only managed to peak at #24 on the Hot 100 chart but that was mostly due Selena almost giving it zero promotion. Just the "America's Got Talent" performance and a couple interviews. So she better promote properly this time because if "A Year Without Rain" flops then we can say her album will be in danger.

Selena's sophomore record will see the light of day on September 21. BTW, the new single's music video will debut tomorrow after the premiere of Camp Rock 2 on Disney Channel. I read the clip was shot at a desert! Can't wait to see it.

Here is a sneak preview of the video :
