Lindsay Lohan Nabs Hitmakers for Third Album

Surely an album that will be met with Tha Carter III-like anticipation, Lindsay Lohan's third studio record, currently titled Spirit in the Dark, will actually feature some big-name producers. The LP includes tracks by the Neptunes' Pharrell, Akon, RS-proclaimed "Best Hitmakers" Stargate and Bloodshy & Avant (the pair responsible for Britney Spears' hit "Toxic"). Maybe it's payback for Lohan appearing in NERD's "Everybody Nose" video, but Pharrell will also provide guest vocals on Spirit's first single "Playground." The song is due to hit radio in September, which will be followed by the album's release in November. Lohan aficionados can follow the progress of little sister Ali's so-far-nonexistent music career on the TV show Living Lohan.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
