Writers
Strike Gives Hayden Panettiere Time to Finish Debut Album
2/22/08
Heroes star Hayden Panettiere is set to delight fans by releasing her
much-anticipated debut album later this year (08).
The 18-year-old actress admits she has been working on the record for
the past three years, but finally got an opportunity to update her sound
thanks to the Hollywood writers strike, which gave her some free time to
experiment musically.
The teen star first began recording aged 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.
She tells MTV, "I've grown up a lot since I started."
