Kim Kardashian may be best known for her modeling and reality television series — but soon she could end up scoring a pop hit, if the caliber of the talent she has teamed up with for her debut single is any indication.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star filmed a video for her forthcoming record with Kanye West in Los Angeles yesterday. The clip, directed by legendary hip-hop video director Hype Williams, will probably be released sometime in next year.

It is unknown whether Kanye provided a guest rap on Kardashian’s single, or if he was simply a guest star in the video. The song is likely to be co-written and produced by The-Dream, who is attached as a producer for the entire album.

“Message in a Bottle”

The Police | 1979

"Roxanne" was the band's first bona fide hit, and Sting wondered if he could top it, which is where the genesis for the Police's second big hit came from. "Then I wrote 'Message in a Bottle,' which was better than 'Roxanne'," the Police frontman said. Sting admitted he developed the lyrics around the title. "I don't write the first line of a song. It's a mistake. Then you have to come up with a second. I had this 'Message in a Bottle.' What's 'Message in a Bottle' about? It's usually about some guy with ragged trousers and a beard on a desert island."
