[Official Video] Selena Gomez - Hit The Lights

If there's one star more than any other that restores my faith in the next generation of pop acts, it's Disney darling Selena Gomez.

Already she's delivered some absolute belters in the form of Naturally and Love You Like A Love Song, but not content to rest on her laurels, she returns to the fun, flirty dance-pop formula again for new single Hit The Lights.

Hit The Lights is Selena showing her true popstar colours - accompanied by its care-free, light-hearted video of teens goofing about in a field, it packs all the fun-factor you'd expect from the former star of Wizards of Waverly Place.

But what's more, it doesn't steal from so many of the already tired club trends and instead makes a simple but effective go at pumping out a bit of well-rounded radio-friendly fodder. It also features one of the my favorite 'in the club' lyrics of the year: 'from the floor to the rafters / people raise your glasses' - Oh Selena.

Piano ballad-into all-out dance stompers seem to be something of a trend at the moment and while Hit The Lights certainly pushes no boundaries, it feels so comfortable in its own skin - something that can definitely can be attributed to Selena's natural charm and professionalism - that it stands as a genuine statement of intent. Selena is here to stay. And to be honest, anyone who loves Cheryl Cole as much as she does has my respect.

Oh, and those shades she's rocking in the video are totally cool.
