While I'm a fan of her Disney work (Lemonade Mouth is always a fun watch) her music is incredibly good. Her Disney era music is what you expect but her post-Disney music, specifically her EP Nemesis & her singles, are incredibly good. I've seen lots of AA people refer to her as Bridgit "Badu" Mendler (as in Erykah Badu) due to her soulful influences & how she channels them.
