Lzzy Hale, the frontwoman of the hard rock band Halestorm from Red Lion, Pennsylvania, recently talked about Pretty Reckless rock band frontwoman Taylor Momsen, who used to be known for role Jenny Humphrey in "Gossip Girl."
In an interview with The Pulse Of Radio, Hale said she has been wanting to tour with Momsen for a long time.
"I don't know what it is about her, but she's a freakin' rock star, and I really enjoy listening and seeing the way that she carries herself," Hale said about Momsen. "She's carrying that rock 'n' roll torch. We're gonna have a blast and it's gonna be awesome."
Like Momsen, "Gossip Girl" alum Leighton Meester is also crossing from acting to singing.
Over two months after her Broadway show "Of Mice and Men" in 2014, Meester released her debut album titled "Heartstrings," Beauty World News reported.
In an interview with Billboard for the promotion of "Heartstrings," she shared the artists that have influenced her the most.
Among the musicians she loved listening to since she was young are Led Zeppelin, Tori Amos, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, Robert Plant, Tom Petty and Kate Bush. When it comes to lyrics, she cited Paul Simon, Bonnie Raitt and The Police.
During the interview, Meester also said being perceived as an actor-turned-musician is "not such a bad thing." If there is one song on her album "Heartstrings" that would be good for karaoke, she said it would be "Good For One Thing."
While promoting her debut album "Heartstrings," Meester also starred in "The Judge" which stars Robert Downey Jr.
