In typical, carefully-calculated pop-girl-gone-wild fashion, Tizzly trashes her first, more bubblegum, album in the press release for the new one.
"Headstrong was a big learning experience, as it was my first album," Tisdale says. "This time I went in knowing exactly what I wanted to do and the message I wanted to put out there, which is that I'm 23 and I'm not just the cute, bubbly blonde girl you know from Disney. I have a tougher side and I love rock music, which are things people probably don't know about me."
Scandal! Rock us gently, though, Ashley...this is our first time.
And what wild, buck-the-system producers has "Sharpay Evans" turned to for this anarchistic affair? Why, Kara DioGuardi, Billy Steinberg and Toby Gad, of course. Christ, might be time to lock the children in the cellar, come to think of it.
The Ashley Tisdale revolution is unleashed on June 16.
