Kim Kardashian is pretty clear about her music career: It's a one-song deal. Even so, the project is already high-profile, with everyone from Kanye West to The-Dream to music-video maven Hype Williams playing some role in the creation of Kim Kardashian, pop star.
And with the song, "Turn It Up," gaining lots of buzz, fans of the reality starlet are eager to hear the full single and see how the video turns out. From the looks of things, her "one song" idea could wind up being bigger than she envisioned.

MTV News caught up with Kim on Wednesday and she revealed some details about the upcoming video.
"Hype Williams directed the video. It is so crazy," she teased. "I mean his looks that he put me in [are crazy]. He really had say in what he wanted, I guess, [for what] Kim 'the artist' that I was playing in this role would look like, as opposed to the everyday glam Kim that you're used to seeing. So, it was really fun to play dress up and have all these other looks that I never really tried before."
Big sis Kourtney was at Kim's side during the shoot, giving props to her "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" co-star.
"Love it! And I was there with her throughout the whole process, which was fun," Kourtney told us. "Going to the studio and, you know, just everything we did. It was a really fun process."
Kim has been reluctant to give up info about the song, but a source recently told MTV News that the song is a club joint. It's like "back-in-the-day Jennifer Lopez ... a little bit of a Jennifer Lopez feel. It's totally a dance song," the source explained. "It's good and it definitely sounds like [Kim] in my mind. You know it's her voice. She definitely can sing."
