Lindsay Lohan : A Little More Personal (Raw)

Casablanca/Universal recording artist, Lindsay Lohan is proving to be as resilient as she is radiant these days, delivering her sophomore album, the aptly titled A Little More Personal (Raw).

A provocative follow-up to Lindsay's platinum-plus 2004 debut effort, Speak, The album's scorching first single and video (with Lindsay making her directorial debut), "Confessions Of A Broken Heart (Daughter To Father)," has already hit the #1 spot on TRL in spite of its brutally honest autobiographical perspective. Co-written by the disc's executive producer Kara DioGuardi, who has worked with Ashlee Simpson, Whitney Houston, and Kelly Clarkson, (as well as collaborating with Lindsay on her first album), among others, the song courageously explores Lindsay's volatile relationship with her troubled father, who is currently serving time for multiple imprudent legal violations.

Lindsay makes the admirable leap from teen songstress to subtly textured singer/songwriter on the new album, working with gritty pop craftsman like Butch Walker (Avril Lavigne, Bowling For Soup, The Donnas) Evanesence guitarist Ben Moody and producer Greg Wells (Michelle Branch), who co-produces the title cut with DioGuardi, among others. The New York City native foregoes the standard lovelorn fare on the new one, wrapping herself around a range of what Billboard Magazine calls 'shockingly effective' material, including "Black Hole," "If You Were Me," A Little More Personal," "My Innocence," and two gutsy, alluring covers, a piercing version of Stevie Nicks' "Edge Of Seventeen," produced by Moody, and an irresistible reworking of Cheap Trick's "I Want You To Want Me," helmed by DioGuardi and Walker. "This album has been so therapeutic for me," says Lindsay. "But at the same time I think it captures the kind of collective hyper-existence a lot of young people find themselves in these days. I'm just thankful music has provided me with a forum to break out and express the kind of emotions that often get pushed aside."

Teen People Magazine recently named Lindsay the #2 Hottest Young Hollywood star in movies. The tireless artist will be combining her acting duties with a slew of music-related personal appearances to promote her much anticipated new debut album, A Little More Personal (RAW), in stores December 6th.
