Oh, Heidi!

Heidi Montag has put her heart, soul and every penny she has into her album, Superficial. Ha!

Not only did she do produce it independently, but hopeful pop star spent $2 million and even believes it holds up to Michael Jackson‘s Thriller.

She says:

On taking 3 years to put the album together:

Well, I did it independently. If you look back at the superstars throughout history it used to take that long to put albums together. Now it├óΓé¼Γäós more manufactured. I really wanted to take my time, and every song means so much to me. And every song was a true journey. I had to track down the songs myself, because it was just Spencer and I doing it independently. We really took our time with every single process, because we wanted it to be the highest quality possible. I wanted it to be back to the Thriller days, to that kind of sound. It├óΓé¼Γäós timeless music, so whenever it comes out was the right timing.

On Superficial holding up to Thriller:

I definitely do. I think people might not see it now, because it├óΓé¼Γäós my first album coming out. But I├óΓé¼Γäóve spent as much time├óΓé¼ΓÇ£maybe more, even├óΓé¼ΓÇ£than Thriller. Every detail was very important to me, because I take this very seriously. Most artists, it├óΓé¼Γäós not their own money, but I├óΓé¼Γäóve actually gone broke putting every dollar I├óΓé¼Γäóve ever made and my heart and soul into this music. For me, I have a different appreciation, a different understanding, and a different love of my music and for my album than any other artist possibly could. Because this is my money. This is my gamble. This is my chance.

On the $$$$$:

I├óΓé¼Γäóve spent over a million, almost $2 million on this album. It├óΓé¼Γäós cost as much or more than a Britney Spears album, because I wanted it to be that quality and to be able to get those people. My album would have cost a record label over $4 million.

On the possibility she won’t make her money back:

That├óΓé¼Γäós not even a possibility. I think within the first week we will definitely make our money back. The songs will make an impact in pop history. They are absolutely incredible and everybody involved is the best of the best. People just haven├óΓé¼Γäót seen me as a pop star. I├óΓé¼Γäóm very excited for the world to see a whole new Heidi.
