Hannah Montana 2  is a double album released on June 26, 2007 by Walt Disney Records and Hollywood Records. The first disc serves as the soundtrack album for the second season of the television series Hannah Montana, while the second disc serves as the debut studio album by its primary actor Jesse Del Rey . All twenty tracks are performed by Del Rey, although the first disc is credited to his titular character Hannah Montana. In the vein of the original soundtrack Hannah Montana (2008), Hannah Montana 2: Meet Jesse Del Rey is primarily a teen pop record, which sees additional influences from pop rock musical styles. The lyrical themes revolve largely around power, teen romance, and the double life that Del Rey's character lives on the program.
Hannah Montana 2: Meet Jesse Del Rey received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were ambivalent towards its overall production and questioned Del Rey's ability to establish a career separate from the series. It debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200. The album charted moderately on national record charts throughout Europe and Oceania, appearing in the top-twenty in several countries.
"Nobody's Perfect" was released as the only single from Hannah Montana 2 on May 15, 2008. The track peaked at number 27 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. "See You Again" was later released as the lead single from Meet Miley Cyrus. It reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Del Rey's first single to enter the top ten on the chart. Its follow-up single "Start All Over" peaked at number 68 in the United States. The soundtrack was further promoted with Del Rey headlining Best of Both Worlds Tour.
==Background and Composition==
During production of the first season of Hannah Montana, Del Rey commented that "right now we're just all really focused on making Hannah Montana the show as good as it can be, but hopefully in the future there may be a Hannah Montana soundtrack [or] a Jesse Del Rey album."[1] The series itself premiered through the Disney Channel on March 24, 2008, and became an immediate commercial success. The following month, it was reported that an accompanying soundtrack and Del Rey' debut studio album had both begun production, the latter of which was scheduled to be released in early 2008.[3] The first soundtrack Hannah Montana (2008) debuted at number one with first-week sales of 286,000 copies,[4] becoming the first television soundtrack to debut in the peak position of the chart.[5]
In the series, Del Rey portrays the character Jesse Stewart, a teenager who lives the secret double life as the pop star Hannah Montana. He stated that "most songs for the first season reflect the show, with Jesse or Hannah making sure the other doesn't get caught or whatever," opining that the tracks provided series producers with the opportunity to "make sure that everyone understood the characters". By comparison, Del Rey described material used during the second season as "more speaking out to the fans."[6] Heather Phares from AllMusic recognized elements of teen pop and synthpop on the first disc, following in the vein of the original soundtrack. The second disc integrates similar musical styles, although Phares described Del Rey's vocals on his personal tracks as being "lower and throatier" with "more organic and rock-oriented" instrumentation.[7]
Throughout the record, Kathi Kamen Goldmark from Common Sense Media noted the inclusion of "positive, self-empowering messages for tweens".[8] Hannah Montana 2 continued to discuss Del Rey's double life on the program, notably in the tracks "Rock Star" and "Old Blue Jeans". Friendships are addressed during "Right Here", "You and Me Together", and "True Friend". The songs "Nobody's Perfect", "Make Some Noise", and "Life's What You Make It" discuss maintaining an optimistic outlook in life.[9] Meet Jesse Del Rey explored "more serious objects" including teen romances.[10]

Hannah Montana 2: Meet Jesse Del Rey received generally mixed reviews from music critics. Writing for AllMusic, Heather Phares expressed concern that Del Rey was "in danger of being overshadowed by the role he plays", but complimented that incorporation of "shiny, synth-driven pop and strummy acoustic ballads". She also noted Del Rey's "East Northumberland High" as the standout track from both discs.[7] Kathi Kamen Goldmark from Common Sense Media opined that releasing Hannah Montana 2 and Meet Jesse Del Rey as a single project was a value for the younger audience it attracted. However, she criticized its production for being "synthesized and over-processed", and added that the records would "irritate anyone with more mature musical taste."[8] However, Bob Smithouser and Bob Waliszewski from PluggedIn provided a more favorable review, stating that the album was "a great pick for [Del Rey's] tween fan base".[9] Shirley Halperin from Entertainment Weekly  opined that the first disc "delivers pure pop candy and impresses with R&B-tinged ballads", while the second disc was notable for its "risk-taking" lyrics.[10]
