Zendaya – “Replay”

July 22, 2013 1 Comment

Zendaya may only be 16 years old, but the Disney Channel star (and second-place Dancing With The Stars finisher) turns in a performance well beyond her years on her debut single, “Replay.” In addition to her mature vocal, the R&B/pop song’s understated feel sets Zendaya’s initial offering apart from her trend-chasing peers, while scoring additional cool points for featuring some unexpected 8-bit electro bleeps.

Though the Oakland, California native is much too young to have had intimate experience with mixtapes of the original cassette variety, Zendaya’s lyric video for “Replay” is one of the year’s best.

Remixes of “Replay” by Ralphi Rosario, Jason Nevins,  It’s The Kue, Belanger, Riddler, and Jump Smokers are released tomorrow.

Purchase Zendaya – “Replay” via iTunes, Amazon MP3.
