Leighton Meester to Record an Album

Leighton Meester told Access Hollywood she will be recording an album:

“I am yeah. Technically, yeah I am. I mean, for real this time… I’ve always done [music], just now I am actually doing an album that I plan to release. It’s so cool because it’s a completely different creative process,” Leighton said. “From beginning to end it’s yours and you make it… You can see the finished product. It’s sometimes hard when you’re acting to be like, ‘Oh I see the finished product right before my eyes.’ So it’s cool you’re there from start to finish when you are writing.”

Can she actually sing? Meester sang in the movie Drive Thru in the video above. The song is Inside the Black, by Inside the Black. Sounds like her singing sucks to me. Hopefully she’ll get a lot of professional training, or she’ll bomb like so many actresses turned singers.
