How to Write a Hit
By Franky - Headed to the SoundStudio to work on your next big single? Or maybe you're just making music for yourself? Well, here are some tricks me and the boys use when we're writing.
How to Write a Hit (Continued)
First, you gotta come up with a "hook". That's the coolest part of the song. The bit that gets stuck in your head. In SoundStudio, it could be a funny noise, or a sweet drum beat. Once you find it, figure out when you're gonna use it in the song. I like putting the hook nice and early so everyone starts tapping their feet right away. Then you just wanna build in the parts around your hook. Once you know where you're headed, it's a lot easier to figure it out! Keep adding loops until it sounds right. Petey K and I love to experiment. You never know when a cowbell will totally make a song work! But let us know what's working for you guys too. We'll be visiting till the end of the Music Jam, so feel free give me a shout!

Cadence: For sure! Now, they call you a triple threat. Ur an actor, dancer, AND a singer. Do u have a favorite?
Zendaya: Well, I think they're all a part of me. If I took any one of those away, it just wouldn't be me.
Cadence: Totally ICE! The last thing everyone wants 2 know - what emote do you want your crowd 2 do at your show?
Zendaya: I just want them to dance! They gotta bust a move for my song.

Ask Cadence
How did you come up with the cruise? -Anne Core
I thought it would be totes fun to party on a boat! Plus, I kinda needed a way to get all the stars to Club Penguin. They couldn't all fit on a tour bus! (DUDES! I asked Gary for a triple-decker bus, but he was like, "It would be impractical.") I think he means "practically the best idea EVAH", but whatevs, we're got a cruise ship now! Now we've had shows in the Dance Club, on the roof, in Big Momma's House, and on the ocean!
What are you working on next? -Ivana Nho
Good question! I love performing. And SoundStudio was AMAZING, But maybe I'll get back 2 working on my moves. I gotta make the next big dance craze!

Hitting The Waves in Hydro Hopper
With all the Music Cruise fans at the Docks, Hydro Hopper's been TOTES hopping.
Wanna show off ur moves beside the cruise? Here's some tips to max out that score:
You gotta get up! Jump over everything EXCEPT buoys.
See a lifesaver? Get it! Those will keep ur run going.
If u jump lots of stuff with one bounce, you'll get even more points!
