Radio Disney fave Jesse McCartney was a child performer dynamo, singing on Broadway and landing an acting gig on All My Children before even joining his first boy band, a feat that came at the age of 12. Sugar poppers Dream Street scored a platinum album with their selftitled debut before spinning off the careers of Chris Trousdale and McCartney himself, who started contributing music to kidfriendly films like Cinderella Story ("The Best Day of My Life"), Stuck in the Suburbs ("Good Life"), and Ella Enchanted, for which he performed a version of Elton John's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" with Anne Hathaway, the film's star. McCartney returned to acting in 2004 with a role on the WB teen drama Summerland. He also finished up work on his first solo fulllength. "Beautiful Soul" was the album's title track and lead single, and pointed to its smooth blend of poprock sensibilities punched up with soulful inflections and danceable beats. Beautiful Soul was issued September 28, 2004 by Hollywood Records.
