The best thing about this Heidi Montag album cover preview?
You don’t have to listen to her sing in order to peep it.
Following a terrible performance at this summer’s Miss Universe pageant, The Hills star is taking the leap into the recording world – and she’s perfectly aware of what the business is about. Her album, naturally, is called Superficial.
With the album due out January 12, Montag is ready for whatever whirlwind comes her way, telling People, “This cover is a shout out to the ’80s!”
“It makes you remember when you just had to run out to the record store and get your favorite album. How you just dreamt of those tapes.”
Heidi Montag pays tribute to the mix tape.
Having been born in September 1986, we’re sure those memories are extremely fond for the ‘tag. Liz Ciganovich, the album’s production and art director, said she got the idea for an ’80s tribute after seeing Montag’s Overdosin’ video:
“It reminded me of Olivia Newton John’s Let’s Get Physical in the ’80s. I thought, ‘Let’s do a shot that says ’80s – lets pay homage to the mix tape!'”
“The hunt was on. I believe I purchased every mixed tape in L.A.!”
Regrettably, a Heidi Montag album won’t have other artists on it.
