Lindsay Lohan - Spirit In The Dark (2010)

Lindsay Dee Lohan was born 2 July 1986 in New York City and raised on Long Island, and was signed to Ford Models at the age of three. Having appeared as a regular on the television soap opera 'Another World' at age 10, her breakthrough came in the Walt Disney Pictures 1998 film 'The Parent Trap', and the film's success led to appearances in the television films 'Life-Size' in 2000 and 'Get A Clue' in 2002, followed by big-screen productions 'Freaky Friday' in 2003 and 'Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen' in 2004. Lohan's early work won her childhood stardom, while the 2004 teen comedy sleeper hit 'Mean Girls' affirmed her status as a teen idol, and established her as a Hollywood leading actress. In an attempt to start a music career she signed with Casablanca Records, and released two studio albums, the platinum-certified 'Speak' in 2004, and the gold-certified 'A Little More Personal (RAW)' in 2005. Her reported behaviour during the filming of the film 'Georgia Rule' in 2006 marked the start of a series of personal struggles that would plague her life and career for most of the next decade. She became a fixture in the tabloid press for her frequent legal issues, court appearances and stints in rehabilitation facilities, and this period saw her lose several roles, negatively impacting her career and public image. By 2010 her career was so dead that it was hard to remember a time when she had the world at her finger tips, with number one movies, a Platinum selling recording career, and a stint as an aspiring fashion designer, all at the age of 21, until alcohol, drugs, and numerous lawsuits and arrests killed her credibility. She attempted a musical comeback, and between 2008 and 2010 she spent time in the studio recording tracks for a third album, tentatively titled on various press releases as 'Spirit In The Dark', and she revealed that it would be a lot more adult, as opposed to her previous two records which were aimed directly at the teen market. A promotional single titled 'Bossy' was released in summer 2008, but failed to chart anywhere due to her reputation overshadowing it, but the album was still scheduled to be issued on 4 November, with 'Playground' being the first single from the project, destined for a September release. However, following the lack of success of the 'Bossy' single, it all went quiet, and as it stands the album has yet to see the light of day, and seems unlikely to do so after being locked away for over a decade. As only seven songs have leaked online, this album has been fleshed out with two tracks from the soundtrack of her 2004 film 'Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen', and one from 'The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement' from the same year.

It was particularly tricky to put this album together, as some people seem to think it's hilarious to post songs on Youtube and pretend that are by someone else, so if you are a fan of Lohan, and you stumble on some rare recordings from her on Youtube, just be warned that 'Playground' is actually 'If This Is Love' by The Saturdays. 'In The Night' is really called 'Lost', both 'Hide' and 'Someday' are really titled 'Something', and while 'Blue' is the correct title, all three songs are actually by Belgian singer Lasgo.
