Leighton Meester is a 'Summer Girl' in new video - watch the preview now!

Smell my finger
Well this is neat.

Leighton Meester, who musically fornicated with Robin Thicke, slummed it with Cobra Starship, and chucked out some BONA FIDE CORKERS from her still-unreleased electropop debut album and then inexplicably forgot all about the fact that she could sing, is FINALLY back on the pop radar.  It's just a bit....different than what we expected her next move to be.

Not so long ago, Miss Meester was poised to become the American Sophie Ellis-Bextor, with some top shelf jams and her already cemented fashion icon status.  But alas, somehow the project got shelved, and she's been all quiet on the music front for quite some time.  


From her new movie "Country Strong," 'Summer Girl' is a sort of post-Taylor Swift pop-country effort with those kind of lyrics that are so insipid that they almost become clever and the hooks that you just can't deny.  It's certainly not bad, and oddly Leighton makes quite the convincing country chick. 

We still love our Leighton electro, but in the meantime we'll take what we can get.



"Country Strong" gets its nationwide release January 8
