Product Reviews
Released two weeks before Greyson Chance s 14th birthday, this debut album casts a wide net, throwing power ballads, dance-pop, and Fray-ish rock into the same pot. When the songs stick, they deliver the fizzy, adolescent kick of a younger Justin Bieber, replacing Bieber s urban swagger with Greyson s piano-based arrangements and dramatic, theater kid vocals. He s a better singer than most boys his age, and he gets songwriting credits on more than half of the track list. As a result, Hold on Til the Night functions equally as a sign of what s to come, setting Greyson up for a bigger album somewhere further down the road. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
Product Notes
2011 album from the teenage Youtube sensation. When 13-year-old Greyson Chance posted a clip of himself performing Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" on YouTube, he never dreamed that the video would become a viral sensation viewed by more than 28 million people. Greyson is already earning kudos for his original compositions. Youtube clips of him performing "Stars" (about a woman with cancer who reunites with her husband in heaven) and "Broken Hearts," have racked up more than nine million collective views. "I want people to be able to feel what I'm feeling when I'm singing," he says. "That's what it's all about for me."
