Leighton Meester hints at return to music after 11-year hiatus

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester reveals she's "just about ready" to return to music after 11 years, while balancing new HBO series and family life.

"I'm just about ready. But it's a lot. It takes a lot, so I don't know. I'll do it eventually. - Leighton Meester"

Washington DC, October 30

Actor and singer Leighton Meester hinted at a return to music, over 11 years after releasing her debut album, Heartstrings, according to E! News.

'Heartstrings' is the debut studio album by singer-songwriter and actress Leighton Meester. It was released on October 28, 2014.

"I'm just about ready," said Leighton, adding, "But it's a lot. It takes a lot, so I don't know. I'll do it eventually."

Leighton is focusing on her TV projects, which include her recent appearance on Netflix's 'Nobody Wants This' and her role as Alyssa in 'I Love LA', which premieres on HBO Max November 2, co-starring Rachel Sennott, Josh Hutcherson, Jordan Firstman, and Odessa A'zion.

'I Love LA' is an upcoming comedy TV series created, written by, and starring Rachel Sennott for HBO.

For Leighton, shooting the comedy series was a memorable experience from the very first day.

"My first day of the first episode, we had a night shoot with a stripper," Leighton recalled, quipping, "I got a long, long, all-night-long lap dance," as quoted by E! News.

Leighton, who shares a 10-year-old daughter, Arlo, and a 5-year-old son with husband Adam Brody, revealed that she's gearing up for some quality time with her family on Halloween.

"I love Halloween," Leighton shared. "I love decorating. We do all the presents and all this stuff. It's really fun. We have kids, so it's extra special and sweet."

When talking about why she took an 11-year hiatus from music, Leighton previously shared, "I just didn't feel like I sang that well in those songs," she said in May. "That's why I stopped doing that style of songwriting, because I didn't feel really good when I would sing it."

Leighton added, "That was something that I figured out in my 20s," as quoted by E! News.

Interesting to see how artists evolve. Taking 11 years off shows she's really thoughtful about her craft. In India, we appreciate artists who take time to perfect their work rather than rushing releases.

Love how she balances family life with her career. As a working mom in Mumbai, I relate to this struggle. Her Halloween traditions sound so sweet with her kids! 🎃

Respectfully, I wish she'd be more decisive about her music comeback. After 11 years, fans deserve a clear timeline rather than "I'll do it eventually." But I understand creative processes take time.

Her honesty about not liking her previous singing is refreshing. In Bollywood, we rarely see such candid admissions from established stars. Wishing her the best for her musical journey!

The entertainment industry needs more multi-talented artists like her. Acting, singing, and family - she's managing it all. Looking forward to her new comedy series on HBO!
