Actress, singer, producer, beauty guru&#8230;there\u2019s many strings in her bow and while she\u2019s better known for the drama queen Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical franchise, there is one side to Ms. Tisdale that is often overlooked and that\u2019s her pop star side; very similar to other Disney veteran Hilary Duff. <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The comparisons between the two are a little too alike to raise questions over. Their broad ranges of discography, albeit both quite small, are nonetheless still rather striking. Tisdale\u2019s debut album, \u2018Headstrong\u2019 is best described by the Right Back At Ya! guys on their podcast as \u201cmost pop girls could only dream of having an album with these many bops\u201d and they&#8217;re not wrong. She followed up with a pop-rock sophomore record, \u2018Guilty Pleasures\u2019 which contained all the angst a Disney star could get away with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now ten years later, she returns with \u2018Symptoms\u2019. The record was produced solely by John Feldmann &amp; maintains a poppier\/synthy vibe where Tisdale\u2019s lyrics are the centre point. It opens on title track \u2018Symptoms\u2019, which alludes to insecurity in starting a new relationship and the anxiety that comes with it. Anxiety &amp; mental health are themes throughout the record and whilst the tracks seem chirpy and electronic, they are layered with subtext and crippling fears. \u201cYou don\u2019t see what I see \/ when I look in the mirror\u201d, she alerts on \u2018Looking Glass\u2019, worried that hearsay and public speculation may shape her new beau\u2019s opinion of her. \u201cAll of the demons \/ how do you keep them out?\u201d she questions on the love-struck \u2018Insomnia\u2019, as she envisions her new romance with her beau.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aside from the title track, \u2018Voices in my Head\u2019 serves as the standout track as Ashley fights the voices in her head putting her down &amp; guiding down a dark path, and its the first time we hear Ashley get explicit&#8230;even though it is softly. The breakthrough with this track is her lover&#8217;s unwillingness to leave her, as much as the voices in her head may tell her he wants to. The second single \u2018Love Me &amp; Let Me Go\u2019 misses the mark a little bit, because whilst 99% of the lyrics work, there is one lyric I can\u2019t get my head around and that is \u201cstop being so obsessed with me\u201d&#8230;I don\u2019t know if this is one of the voices in her head, creating a narrative that her beau is obsessed with her, as a counter way of ridding him from her, because the true narrative is that she\u2019s insecure, &amp; can\u2019t believe someone would love her for her&#8230;or is it a kiss-off to an ex lover who simply won\u2019t leave her alone?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whilst the album seems to tackle the nitty gritty, there are two high-lifted moments in the form of \u2018Vibrations\u2019 and album closer, \u2018Feeling So Good\u2019. \u2018Vibrations\u2019 details a blossoming relationship that over a course of time has become wonderfully comfortable whereas not even her alarm bothers her in \u2018Feeling So Good\u2019. The track feels slightly cheesy as it&#8217;s the heightened level of happiness through a course of insecurity and anxiety, but it ties up the short album sweetly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Symptoms\u2019 is an artistic ideology, and for Ashley, who arguably doesn\u2019t really have much of a musical identity due to lack of discography&#8230;it\u2019s a nice expansion to her catalogue, and whilst its highs don\u2019t quite equate to \u2018Guilty Pleasures\u2019, or \u2018Headstrong\u2019, its still a really sweet project and we can only hope that we don\u2019t wait another ten years for another addition to her body of work. I suppose that&#8217;s where \u2018Symptoms\u2019 differs from her first two albums; it&#8217;s more cohesive and put together, whereas her first two albums have much more broad layers to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Symptoms&#8217; is out now through Big Noise Group and is available to stream and download <a href=\"https:\/\/ffm.to\/symptoms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_11625\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P4uqDHIOt5M?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"YouTube player\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/P4uqDHIOt5M\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ashley Tisdale is quite the multi-faceted star.
