Kim Kardashian Unveils Debut Single and Set Pictures of Music Video

Before sending her debut single "Turn It Up" to public, Kim Kardashian tried it out by playing for clubbers at TAO Las Vegas over the weekend. "Hi you guys, I didn't mean to, but I did this song with The-Dream, and it's really fun. I hope you guys like it," she said.

In addition, the reality TV star also posted two pictures taken from the filming of its music video on Twitter.
One features her wearing all-white ensemble and rocking "Bo Derek braids," and the other sees a close-up look at her wearing oversized sunglasses, red lipstick and straight hair with bangs.

The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star reportedly shot the music video with Kanye West in a closed set in Los Angeles last month. It was said to be directed by Hype Williams. Both the single and the music video haven't got any release dates.

One thing for sure, Kim is looking forward to the New Year, writing "2011 is all about trying new things and going for it! I'm starting mine with something fun and crazy! Let's leave the past behind us and move forward! Do better and push yourself in 2011!"

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Hook Up for Her First Music Video

Kim Kardashian makes sure she enters the music game with bang. Already securing The-Dream as one of her production crew, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" beauty is now preparing a music video for her upcoming debut single with none other than rap mogul Kanye West.

They did the filming in a closed set on December 28 in Los Angeles with certified music video director Hype Williams sitting behind the lens, according to TMZ.

Kim and Kanye reportedly arrived and left the set separately. She tweeted, "OMG u guys have no idea what I'm doing today! You are gonna DIE!!!!"

I'm finished for today...but we have a few more to go! Can't twitpic just yet but will soon!" The video shoot was apparently not a one-day filming as she posted a few hours later, "Day #2 let's go!"

Rumor that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would make a duet has been swirling on the web since last month after they were spotted visiting each other in several events including the opening of her DASH boutique. Kim once told MTV, "[Kanye's] a musical genius, so I would be honored to work with Kanye. It's all in fun. We're just trying to have a good time." She additionally said, "I am having fun [with] whatever I'm doing right now. I'm having fun."

Working title and release date for the album haven't been revealed. Other people involved in the making of the album, which is rumored to be a pop record, remain under wraps as well. But a source assured fans that "Kim actually has a great singing voice." The insider told Just Jared, "Everyone will be really surprised by it."

Not only has Kanye worked with Kim but he has also bonded with her mother Kris Jenner. Earlier this month, he gave her a first listen to "Watch the Throne", his duet album with Jay-Z. "Listening to NEW JayZ and Kanye West album with @kanyewest!!" Kris shared to her Twitter followers. "Doesn't get any sweeeeeeeter!! He is AMAZING wait till you guys here! Out soon!"
