Must Listen: Leighton Meester “Your Love’s A Drug”

Fresh from her catchy debut single, comes her second single “Your Love’s A Drug” which is another finely crafted pop tune. This time the Gossips Girl got somebody to love her and is saying his love is infectious and addictive. Chuck Bass perhaps? With light synth sounds and catchy chorus, this song will not leave your head the minute you hear it. It’s a feel-good pick me up and since actual drugs are expensive nowadays, this song is a cheaper and safer alternative. Leighton is slowly making her presence felt in the pop scene and could be a sweet alternative to pop’s current female singer trend of crazy fashion and outrageous behaviour (thank you Lady GaGa) where she just oozes sex and sweetness. Please note we are not obssessed with her.

Leighton Meester “Somebody To Love”

 Who would have thought a Gossip Girl can sing? Leighton Meester or better known as “Blair Waldorf” from the hit show “Gossip Girl” (a show that is pure guilty pleasure if there ever is one) shows us that she is not a one-trick pony by releasing this wonderful little ditty. “Somebody to love” is pure electropop that is reminsce of early Blondie and 80′s synth pop. All the formula for a killer pop song is there, Leighton purrs over the lyrics with a slight pop rap, throws in a french word or two in the middle of the song and with a killer chorus that just sticks in your head after a few listen. To top it off, Leighton ropes in soul maestro Robin Thicke to sing a couple of verses(they must have paid him plenty of money).  This is how you write pop songs folks. Lady Gaga, Kylie and even Madonna would kill for this song. Hell, Miley Cyrus probably kicking her manager for not getting this song for her. If you are in the mood for a bit of fun but in a shameless way, get this single…legally or otherwise. We wait with bated breath for her first album…
