You may not recognize the name Alyson Stoner right away, but trust me when I say you have seen her before.
Stoner is primarily known as the fierce little girl dancing her way to the beat of Missy Elliot's tracks in a few of the artist's music videos, however, the 21-year-old made a name for herself as an actress as well, starring in the Cheaper By the Dozen series alongside Steve Martin and Hilary Duff, and the Step Up series with Channing Tatum.
Over the last few years, Stoner has been working hard to get her music career off the ground. Following the release of "Dragon (That's What You Wanted)" last year, the young beauty presents her latest original offering, the EDM/hip-hop flavored "Pretty Girls", inspired by Stoner's upcoming film Sugar Babies, where her character makes a financial arrangement with a wealthy gentleman in exchange for her companionship.
"Don't get too close to me, I don't love you, hearts break so easily, nowhere is safe for you honey," the artist warns on the opening verse of her latest hypnotizing release. The sexy, pulsating track is carried by an electronic beat as Stoner provides a better than expected vocal performance that remains controlling and seductive throughout.
"Pretty Girls" is a truly captivating listen from an under-the-radar artist. The production is unique and intriguing, capturing attention within the first few notes. Stoner effortlessly glides through the mature material, she claims pretty girls learn to work it early, and even provides a sickening rap-like flow during the bridge that pulls the entire effort together rather nicely. Strong finish.
For the accompanying music video, Stoner plays a few female stereotyped characters, such as the overlooked woman in charge who is forced to play up her sex appeal and the young starlet relying on an older man for support. Those scenes are interwoven with a club scene where the artist sensually moves across the dancefloor to the beat of the music. It wraps up the message behind "Pretty Girls" and proves Stoner may have a successful career in music afterall.
