The 'Dancing With the Stars' runner-up Zendaya has just premiered the music video on Disney Channel for her debut single, "Replay," the lead single from her upcoming self-titled debut album, due out September 17 via Hollywood Records. The 16-year-old actress/singer, is breaking out on her own, has a fervent fan following courtesy of her previous career as the star of Disney Channel sitcom "Shake It Up," but she's about fifty different kinds of grown-woman in her new clip.
The song "Replay" was composed by Tiffany Fred and Paul "Phamous" Shelton. "It's a very special song. I think it's very different and unexpected for me because I feel like it's on a higher level production wise," Zendaya said. "It's one of those songs that's creating its own lane or genre. I don't think it's pop, I don't think it's hip hop, I don't think it's R&B. I don't even know where you would consider it because it kind of mixes that pop sound beat with a very R&B kind of melody" she says in an interview with Radio Disney. Zendaya thinks that the single is not basic pop music, but it has an urban twist to it.
Zendaya has created a seamlessly self-promoting ode to putting a good song on repeat: She kicks the chorus off by singing, "I wanna put this song on replay/I can listen to it all day." But because every song that's about a song is actually about infatuation, she has to tweak the lyrical conceit, making it, "I can listen to you all day... I'm so lost in your sound." And it only works, of course, because the (non-metaphorical sound) of the song is so great, with breathy vocals and a slow-bubbling groove building to the chorus that will get stuck in your head whether you like it or not.
Channeling early Cassie with some slick choreography and a series of glammed-out looks, the Colin Tilley-directed clip is basically just her one long impressive dance break that never ends, but it's quite a statement from the 16-year-old chanteuse, who looking fierce in black and shows off her smooth moves and more mature side in an abandoned warehouse, and, at first, she dances alone in front of the mirror. Later, a few of Zendaya's pals, who just so happen to be stunning male models, join in on the dancing fun, and the crew spends the rest of the afternoon twerking it out and presumably burning more calories than you would after an entire day on the treadmill.
