With a recent career resurgance resulting in multiple Billboard chart debuts and several iTunes #1s worldwide, Heidi Montag has established herself as a pop superstar.

She first came to prominence on MTV’s “The Hills,” but the multifaceted entertainer has always credited music as her first love. Her debut album, Superficial, where she worked with notable talents including L.P., Cathy Dennis, Stacy Barthe, and Steve Morales, has become a cult classic, peaking at number 54 on the Billboard 200. Montag’s one and only televised performance of “Body Language” — at the 2009 Miss Universe pageant — was watched by a billion people worldwide.

Hailed as “ahead of its time,” Superficial’s initial release faltered due to both promotional issues and Montag’s status as a reality star. The album has since gained praise for its pure pop sounds, which were influenced by Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, as well as for its message of empowerment.
