New Music Loves is a Drug

Leighton Meester is back with a new song “Your Love’s a Drug”, which is rumored to be the 2nd single from her upcoming debut album, also titled Your Love’s a Drug.

While Leighton Meester doesn’t appear to be nothing in real-life like the wealthy, entitled character she portrays on Gossip Girl, it’s easy to imagine Blair Waldorf’s “money fixes everything” attitude seeping into the making of this album.

How else to explain major league producers and songwriters such as RedOne, J.R. Rotem, Kara DioGuardi and Polow da Don on the debut album of an artist whose main claim to musical fame is a featured role on a Cobra Starship single? Half-baked fan fiction plotlines aside, early songs like the Robin Thicke-assisted “Somebody To Love” and “Your Love Is A Drug” have an electro-pop vibe that suggest a more common take on the sounds of Lady GaGa and Gwen Stefani.
