Hayden Panettiere at the Belvedere Luxury Lounge in honor of the 80th Academy Awards
Hayden Panettiere’s debut CD will hit stores this spring on Hollywood Records, according to her MySpace page – which also features a sampling of her already-released pop-rock tunes, including “Try,” “Your New Girlfriend” and “I Still Believe.”
but what musical styles are really inspiring Hayden Panettiere these days?
“Like pop, rock – maybe more of an R&B thing,” the 18-year-old actress-activist (and now singer) told [People] Thursday at the Stuart Weitzman Oscar suite in West Hollywood. “I have such eclectic tastes in music. I love rock, hip-hop, I like pop. I love Natasha Bedingfield and [singer-songwriter] Anna Nalick.”
The teen star first began recording at age 15, with her tunes appearing in movie soundtracks including 2007’s Bridge to Terabithia.
But Panettiere insists her new work is a change from the songs of her early teen years.
