Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta is excited about Leighton's album, too! He was asked about her in an interview with Pop Crush:
Another one of your collaborators, Leighton Meester, is releasing her first album soon.
I’m so excited! It’s about time. She never put out an album.
I agree. Have you heard any of her new music?
I only heard, back in the day she played me songs. I realized when she got signed, everything was just pop and I think she had a conflict that a lot of artists have. The label wants it to be pop and she wanted to do more of a folky thing and she played guitar.
I haven’t heard her album now, but I saw her not too long ago when she was doing ‘Of Mice and Men’ and she seemed very excited. I’m really looking forward to hearing it.
Good times.
