No fim do ano passado Leighton Meester, ouuuu Blair Waldorf para os íntimos, ensaiou uma estreia na carreira musical com seu single “Somebody to Love”, não colou muito, depois veio “Your Love’s a Drug”, que também ficou mediano. Ela deu uma sumida então e agora reapareceu em uma nova entrevista dizendo seus novos planos.

Aos mais curiosos por novidades da Leightão Meester aqui algumas partes da interview:

Sobre não se preocupar com sucesso comercial:

…If you love it [acting], you don’t necessarily care about the commercial success of something, as long as it’s quality. That’s how I also feel about music, I just want it to be good, I want people to get a sense of me through my music.

A direção musical de seu novo álbum:

It’s a mixture of the past four or five years of my life. The songs I’ve released so far, I’m really pleased with people’s response. They definitely reflect who I am as a person and an artist. I can appreciate all different kinds of music, but I’m having a good time making essentially pop dance music. And lyrically, since I’ve written everything, people can see a window into me and how I feel about certain things. I’ve had raw acoustic songs, pop ballads, piano ballads, super-electro very Euro-sounding … I’ve done rapping, I’ve worked with other artists, so I’ve done the full gamut and been able to discover what I really love. I’ve discovered different things about how I’ve changed over the years and this is why I like to write.

O dream team de produtores que fazem parte de seu cd:

I’ve worked very closely, pretty much on every song, with Shahine Ezell and the other producers that I’ve worked with — Kenna, Stuart Price, Mike Caren, Paul Oakenfold. I wrote two songs with Kara DioGuardi. I also wrote with Jupiter Rising, who’s really awesome, a guy named K.O., who’s an incredible producer and songwriter. I did a song with Toby Gad. I’ve done a couple of songs with the Writing Camp, and I’ve written a couple of songs with a girl named Bonnie McKee.

E sobre trabalhar com música country na trilha sonora de seu novo filme “Love Don’t Let Me Down”:

“The music for ‘Love Don’t Let Me Down,’ oh my god, it’s so good. It’s country music, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s material is more traditional country, really big music — it’s amazing. She sounds beautiful. My music in the movie is a little bit more current, very pop. I have a couple of songs that I feel like are really good in there.

Resumindo, Leighton acha que está com o rei na barriga falando que já experimentou todosss os estilos musicais por aí. Calma filha, você ainda está no começo de sua carreira. Pelo time de produtores e compositores no projeto pode-se esperar algo de qualidade e ela e Gwyneth Paltrow cantando juntas? Estou curioso…
