Actress turned singer: it worked for Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff—and now Hayden Panettiere is taking a stab at success in the pop music world. The Heroes star is banking on the popularity of her hit TV show, and her sponsorship deals with Candie’s and Neutrogena, to get her music career in full-swing. The 18-year-old actress released her first single “Wake Up Call” on Ryan Seacrest’s L.A. radio show Tuesday, saying she was “terrified” of hearing herself on the radio. Panettiere’s describes her music as “very different, very diverse. Like pop, rock—maybe more of an R&B thing.” The album, four years in the making, is set for release in 2009.
