Justine Dorsey “Colorwheel” CD Review

As a middle school teacher whose worked with 13 and 14 year olds for over ten years, I understand both the influence pop culture has on this age group and the amount of negative influence that exists to detract this impressionable age from more positive ones influences.  Justine Dorsey’s second CD release, Colorwheel, is a refreshingly clean yet fun mix of pop songs with messages parents can feel comfortable about.  At 14, Justine has already built an impressive resume which includes playing Rob Lowe’s daughter, Sophia McCallister, on the TV Series Brothers & Sisters.  Having also performed live theater in addition to her her music, we feel lucky to have discoverd Colorwheel as her career is sure to explode.  The young teens who listen to songs such as Engligh Rose liked the edginess to her music which she somehow manages while keeping it clean.  I personally enjoyed the jazz influence and have my own favorite songs such as “Someday” and “Not In That Way”.


As parents ourselves, The Double Duty Diva blog network were curious about Justine’s varied background and musical influences and were fortunate to have an opportunity to ask her some questions.  Check out the video interview with Justine Dorsey and download another favorite song of ours, “Shut My Big Mouth,” for free on iTunes or on Justine’s website.  Music for appropriate music for tweens and teens, parents and kids alike can finally agree on at least one music influence; Justine Dorsey is one to watch for sure.

    I like that she is so talented but not too exploited yet. Her songs are really sweet- right up there with Taylor Swift. I hope she doesn't go the way of Miley Cyrus.
