Lindsay Lohan's upcoming as-yet- untitled third album[1] will feature songs produced by Akon, Bloodshy & Avant, Ne-Yo, J.R. Rotem, Stargate, Sam Sparro[2] and Pharrell who is featured on the song "Playground".[3]
Style and themes
In March 2008, Lohan characterized the album as "dance, hip-hop and R&B",[4] and she said, "I want it to be dance ... kind of Kylie Minogue-meets-Rihanna",[5] According to Lohan, she was unsure if she wanted the album to feature lyrics that refer to her personal life over the past year: "I'm not sure yet –- I don't know if I really want to ... I think the past is the past and it should be kept there. It's a new slate for me, and I want to show that in my new record".[5]
History
In December 2007, Lohan said:"I've been in the studio, and it's going really well, and I'm really excited, 'cause it's going to be more urban pop," she continued, "It's good to be back in the studio." [6].In February 2008, Lohan said that she would like to work with 50 Cent, Kanye West and—again—Timbaland;[7] later that month, her mother, Dina, said that she was recording the album.[8] In March, Lohan said that "being in the studio again has been really great [...] It's all coming together",[4] and that the album was being recorded in Los Angeles and New York City (where she was recording the third song).[5]
In May 2008, songwriter Ne-Yo said that he and Stargate had contributed to the album, saying: "I gotta admit, we were like ... Lindsay Lohan?' "I mean, I've written for Beyonc[é], Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Celine Dion and ... Lindsay Lohan? But I will say this; we gave her a quality record and she did a ridiculously fabulous job. I was so shocked I had to call her and apologize for what I was thinking because she did so good. I think the world is gonna be surprised."[9] The same month, Lohan said that the album would feature collaborations with Akon, Pharrell Williams, the aforementioned Ne-Yo and Snoop Dogg. Radio presenter Ryan Seacrest said he had liked what he had heard of the album, and that Lohan "is taking it very seriously. She's working really hard. She's working with great producers."[10] In June, Rolling Stone magazine named Bloodshy & Avant and J.R. Rotem among the album's producers.[3] Christopher "Tricky" Stewart was also confirmed as a producer for two tracks on Spirit in the Dark.[11]
In May, a song written and produced by Ne-Yo and Stargate, "Bossy", was previewed on the internet.[12] According to Ryan Seacrest, Lohan plans to play the album for the first time on his KIIS-FM radio show.[10]
In July, 2008, it was confirmed that Sam Sparro will collaborate with Lohan on the album.[13]
Lohan talked about the album in a live interview with KIIS-FM and said: "I want people to have a lot of fun with it, I want it to be a fun record" she continued, "It's like my dream record...I don't wanna slack off on it...I wanna put my all into it".[14]
On November 13, 2008, Access Hollywood reported that Lohan has been avoiding calls and e-mails from her Motown manager about finishing work on the album, feeling “on the defensive”. “I just — I didn’t want to,” she explained. “With my other records, I kind of just did it, just to do it”. Lohan said she struggled while working on her movies and music at the same time and wants to avoid the stress of simultaneous major projects in the future. “I want to be able to focus and balance my life,” she continued. “So, I can enjoy each thing as I do it and as it comes”. Lohan also stated in the interview that she called back her manager to resume work on the album.[15][16]. As a result the album was not released on November 4, 2008 as scheduled.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]
