Gerücht: Ein drittes Album für Vanessa?

"You know the drill, all rumour posts are to be treated strictly as that until something official has been confirmed.

A label source has revealed to me that High School Musical babe Vanessa Hudgens is set to begin work on her third studio album soon, and she’ll be seeking out some of the hottest producers in urban-pop to give her a helping hand.

Supposedly the undercover bad girl (remember those x-rated photos) is getting a bunch of Timbaland demos that were originally intended for Hilary Duff before she fled Vanessa’s label Hollywood Records. She’ll also work with Sean Garrett and Jesse McCartney, and the 20-year-old is also currently in talks to get Brian Kennedy & Ne-Yo on board for the project.

Hollywood Records have decided against taking Vanessa in the pop/rock direction fellow HSM star Ashley Tisdale has taken with her new album, and are instead hoping Vanessa finds success with a sexier urban sound after her sophomore album Identified tanked in the charts.

I’ve also been told that this could be Vanessa’s last album with the notoriously bad Hollywood records, and that a certain superstar diva who I won’t name was trying to help Vanessa get out of her record contract so she could switch to a new label, but Hudgen’s airtight contract prevented it from going through.

I like Vanessa and I think she’s extremely beautiful with an adequete voice and oodles of star quality, but I’m unsure about her new album. Obviously I’m thrilled that she might be going urban-pop but Hollywood records can be a terrible label at times, and a lot of the people they’ve recruited for Vanessas new album worked on Raven Symone & Corbin Bleu’s last albums which were complete flops. Hopefully Vanessa does something similar to Hilary Duff’s Dignity which original, fresh, and edgy."
