‘Reggae-Flavored’ Candie

Hayden Panettiere, the cheerleader from the popular NBC show Heroes has an upcoming album in the works, due for a 2009 release. (There’s probably a rule against well-endowed, dimunitive, blonde starlets releasing albums at the same time.) The first single, “Wake Up Call”, will be out at least 4 months before the album. So? No big deal, right? Except, according to Idolator

Candie's…has announced it's taking over "the majority of the cost" for Heroes star Hayden Panettiere's single "Wake Up Call," which will be released on Aug. 5. The song will be aggressively marketed by the fashion company, which … [is] described as ‘reggae-flavored,’ which makes me think Ace Of Base, which makes me think of an atrociously hooky song blaring from radios in the hottest month of the year. And thanks to its presence in the ad campaign, "Wake Up Call" will probably blare whether or not it's actually popular. You've been warned.’

Yikes! It’s “Wannabe” all over again.
