Leighton Meester, better known as Blair Waldorf, has previously stated that one of her true passions is music. Upon hearing this, critics, fans and the general public thought one thing only: Where can I buy ear plugs?

Most people were expecting a Heidi Montag situation. Cheesy music with half-assed lyrics. But when Cobra Starship came out with their song “Good Girls Go Bad”, everyone was wondering: who is that girl singing? That, my friends, is Miss Leighton Meester herself. She’s featured on one of the hottest songs of the year, and along with that, she has her own music coming out soon.

Her first solo single, “Somebody To Love” – which features Robin Thicke – hit radio stations October 13, 2009 and was available for digital download the next day. Getting better than expected ratings, Leighton seems to be on her way to pop-star fame with some of her songs which include “Body Control”, “Birthday” and “Inside The Black” just to name a few.

Her songs are good for any mood you’re in. There’s upbeat dance music, mellow pop tunes, and some slower songs, for those times when all you want to do is sit in your room and think about all those thoughts that are clogged up in your head!

Her album is expected to hit stores late 2009 – early 2010. This is music I definitely recommend listening to!
