Let It Shine (TV)


7/10 STARS
Okay, seriously can I get a round of applause? This movie was off the charts for a Disney movie. I haven't seen one this great since Lemonade Mouth (2011). Actually lately these 2 movies I can honestly rate and say have been more attractive than some box office movies.


The movie stars actor Tyler Williams ( Everybody Hates Chris) and upcoming Disney singing sensation Coco Jones. The storyline details the life of famous singer Roxie (Coco Jones) and her reunion with 2 old school friends as a result of a rap contest. A series of events occur when she assumes the wrong friend is the contest winner and they go along with it.

Let me just say and agree (as someone tweeted) that this film was x10 better than Camp Rock (2008). The storyline was much more complex and characters portrayed real life issues both at the friendship and parental level. The storyline also goes to tackle the ever famous debate on 'rap music' and it not being accepted by the church.

The music of course was the star of the show. The verses dropped were surprisingly deep, catchy, and just down right CREATIVE. I surely can't wait to grab a hold of this soundtrack.

All in all, this movie gets 7 stars.
