What happened between Zendaya and Disney? From racist publicist to contracts gone awry, here is what went down
‘Replay’
If as a fan you really want to check how good a singer Zendaya is, then you need to check her hit single ‘Replay.’ The track was one of the lead singles from Zendaya’s self-titled debut album which was released in 2013. The song gives a hint of dance-pop where Zendaya croons, “Make it stop, Sounds so good, I just can't take no more/ Turn it down, turn it up, I don't know, I don't know (Know)/ But don't stop, Don't move, just keep it there (Right there)/ Keep it right there (Oh), Keep it right there.”
The upbeat music and her heavy-deep voice got thumbs up from the listeners. ‘Replay’ debuted at number 77 on the United States' Billboard Hot 100 chart and has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song’s video was inspired by Janet Jackson's ‘The Pleasure Principle’ video, as a lot of similar references in the clip can be seen easily.
‘All For Us’ from ‘Euphoria’
Not only the TV show ‘Euphoria’ proved to be a hit among the audience, but its songs also got a lot of love from the fans. The music was produced by British singer-songwriter Labrinth and was released in June 2019. The track is featured in episode eight of season one. The series finale track featured both Zendaya and Labrinth on the vocals where they go, “Too much in my system (Famine, famine)/ Money MIA (Pockets hella empty)/ Mama making ends meet (Making ends meet), Working like a slave (Mississippi, ayy, ayy)/ Daddy ain't at home, no (Father, Father), Gotta be a man (Michael Corleone)/ Do it for my homegrowns (Sisters, brothers), Do it for the fam (Yeah, so tell 'em, Labby).” The song has been described as, “Dark and epic, with a buzzing bass and chanting vocals."
‘Neverland’
‘Neverland’ is another song by Zendaya which is surely placed at the top of her discography. The song is a part of the ‘Finding Neverland’ album (Broadway Musical). Zendaya sets a completely different mood in this song as she leaves the listeners asking for more. With a heavy heart, she croons, “Whenever I was frightened or ever felt alone, I turned to the night sky at a star I call my own/ Somewhere I could run to, just across the Milky Way, If you like, I could take you/ It's just a lightyear and a day, We can sail away tonight on a sea of pure moonlight/ We can navigate the stars to bring us back home.”
'Finding Neverland' is a musical with music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy and a book penned by James Graham adapted from the 1998 play ‘The Man Who Was Peter Pan’ by Allan Knee and its 2004 film version ‘Finding Neverland'.
‘Rewrite The Stars’ with Zac Efron
The song ‘Rewrite the Stars’ belongs to ‘The Greatest Showman’ which is a 2017 American musical drama film helmed by Michael Gracey in his directorial debut. Zendaya joined the Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron on the duet. The track was the third promotional song to be released before ‘The Greatest Showman’ premiered. In the heartwarming song, Zendaya in the role of Anne Wheeler sings, “You think it's easy, You think I don't want to run to you/ But there are mountains, And there are doors that we can't walk through/ I know you're wondering why, Because we're able to be/ Just you and me, Within these walls/ But when we go outside."
'Something New' featuring Chris Brown
A rare collaboration of Zendaya and Chris Brown cooked up in the beautiful track where the former went all-in with her soothing R&B voice. The track was released in 2016 as a single and take samples from TLC's ‘Creep’. In the song, Zendaya croons about meeting someone at a club and wanting to have a one-night stand. “By the way you looking tonight, Only one thing comes to my mind/ When the lights come on at two, I'll still be moving with you/ Boy, you're looking at nobody, Just my body.”
The track was received well by the audience. Speaking about the song, she had earlier told MTV News, “I would say it’s the new wave of R&B. It’s where I think it should be going, or it should be headed; it’s very old-school vibe, but it’s a new age version.”
