Hayden Panettiere Goes Pop With Halliwell's Hit Makers 6/9/08

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere has called on Geri Halliwell's hit making team to give her stalled music career a boost.

The actress signed deal with Hollywood Records years before her Heroes TV show became a big hit and now she is devoting her time to carving out a pop career.

Her new reggae-flavoured song - Wake Up Call - has been written by Andreas 'Quiz' Romdhane and Josef Larossi, who have previously churned out hits for Halliwell, Diana Ross and Westlife. And the actress/singer has also landed a major sponsorship deal with U.S. fashion brand Candie's, who will feature the track in a new summer ad campaign.

The company will also pay for the star to shoot a video to accompany the tune. Panettiere's debut album is set for release next year (09).
