Hear Milla Jovovich's New Single, "Electric Sky"
It's been 18 years since Milla Jovovich released her first — and only — album, The Divine Comedy, but the model-actress-singer is making up for lost time with an upcoming EP set to be released this August.
It's been 18 years since Milla Jovovich released her first — and only — album, The Divine Comedy, but the model-actress-singer is making up for lost time with an upcoming EP set to be released this August.
"It's really exciting, it's fun," Jovovich said of the music-making process. "It was me and my two closest friends. We just did it in my home studio on the computer. So it's very synth pop, or electronic."
The album's first single, "Electric Sky" hit YouTube a few days ago, and though there's no corresponding imagery yet, there will be soon. "We are going to shoot a video," Jovovich assured. "We're doing a video in a couple weeks that we'll also put out for free." Until then, have a first listen here.

Burberry Reveals Fall 2012 Ad Campaign
Up-and-comers Gabriella Wilde and Roo Panes star in Burberry's just-released Fall 2012 ad campaign, which — with its rain-soaked streets and fog-smudged backgrounds — is a striking homage to Britain's notoriously gloomy weather.
Up-and-comers Gabriella Wilde and Roo Panes star in Burberry's just-released Fall 2012 ad campaign, which — with its rain-soaked streets and fog-smudged backgrounds — is a striking homage to Britain's notoriously gloomy weather.
"We wanted to play with everything that's at the heart of the Burberry world – celebrating our brand and London through imagery, film, music, weather and our iconic outerwear, all in a very poetic and British way," chief creative officer Christopher Bailey said of the images, which were photographed by Mario Testino on the campus of Greenwich's Royal Naval College. "We shot the series of cinematic, emotive black-and-white images and short films with the incredibly talented Gabriella Wilde and Roo Panes, who effortlessly bring the campaign and our collections to life across all of our platforms," Bailey explained.
While the campaign's short films won't be released until later this season, here's a peek at the Fall 2012 images.
