Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. I am here with Selena Gomez. Tonight is a huge night for you, record release of your brand new album, Kiss & Tell.

Selena Gomez

It's been such a whirlwind. I mean, I've been working on this record for two years. So, to finally get it out has been such a blessing, and my band and everyone is so wonderful. So, it's just been going great and I'm really happy with everything.

Young Hollywood

Now, what made you decide to name your band The Scene?

Selena Gomez

Well, eventually I kind of hope that it just goes to being The Scene or Selena and The Scene. Um because I I kind of love I love giving credit to other people, and, you know, being on a show where I have like a cast with me, I I kind of wanted that effect in a band. You know, I wanted to have the the having like older brothers and having the support of them there.

Young Hollywood

Now, what are we going to expect with your album? We know it's a pop record.

Selena Gomez

I said that if if my music doesn't make you want to move or headbang or anything, I have failed. Because that's all I wanted. I wanted it to be fun, empowering, and just fun.

Young Hollywood
