Jam: Spotlight on Music Stars‘Real Housewives’ Star Kim Zolciak Records Country Song, ‘Love Me First’
How could Kim Zolciak possibly top her 2009 dance hit, "Tardy For the Party"? Well, she's trying. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star has a new song, a country ballad called "Love Me First," and a 57-second snippet of it was leaked on Monday. "My new song is so emotional," Zolciak wrote on her Twitter page two days before she debuted the track, adding that the lyrics were autobiographical. In "Love Me First," she sings (or at least that's what we think she's doing): "I'm running on empty, can't let it defeat me, I'm standing here a stronger woman making changes in my life. Now I'm learning every day, there ain't no other way, before I love somebody else, gotta love me first."
Zolciak, 33, certainly has learned the lesson first-hand. Fans of "The Real Housewives" are well aware of the emotional rollercoaster she had been on with her supposedly-married, super-rich secret boyfriend, known only as Big Poppa. But all that changed when she met Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann in August 2010 at a dance competition featuring him against her castmate, Sheree Whitfield. The Bravo cameras were there when Zolciak first laid eyes on Biermann — or rather, on his backside. After she introduced herself, the blonde gushed, "I've never in my life seen an ass like that. Can I see it? Will you turn around?" Now, less than two years later, the couple is married and parents to 9-month-old son, KJ. (Zolciak also has two daughters Brielle, 13, and Ariana, 10, from her first marriage.)
"Love Me First" was produced by Patrick GuiTarBoy and Jazze Pha and will be available on iTunes in a few weeks. The day before she released the snippet of the song, Zolciak tweeted that she had shot the album cover and that it was "amazing" and "Soooo me."
