By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Launching a new venture: Kim Kardashian records her début single Jam (Turn it Up) on tonight's episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York


Everything Kim Kardashian turns out to be a major success, but she may have her work cut out when it comes to launching a successful music career.

On last night's episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, the curvaceous reality star hit the recording studio to lay down her début single Jam (Turn It up).

Unfortunately, things didn't quite go as planned as Kim, 30, had trouble getting her vocals right.

At one point, she was so crest fallen, she stormed out of the studio, leaving mega-star music producer The Dream waiting for her to get it together.

It was clear she thought recording a CD would be a piece of cake, but it turned out to be much more difficult than she imagined.

She got a bit of encouragement from her friend, R&B singer Ciara who has had several hits including the single Goodies.

After returning to the studio, Kim began to feel more confident and was able to finish recording the song and even said she was pleased with the recording.

Kim released the single this past Thursday on Ryan Seacrest's KISS FM breakfast show.
The poppy dance track sounded similar to other work by The Dream, who has produced hits for the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce and Kanye West.

'It's a fun dance song,' Kim told Ryan Seacrest, going on to describe the response it got in Las Vegas over New Year.

'We played it in Tao in Vegas and the whole crowd was singing along in the end.'
The reality star-turned singer revealed she was uneasy at first about trying something new.

'I think it's only normal for me to be nervous,' she said.

'I'm human… this is definitely something that I don't do. I needed to step outside my comfort zone. This is a really big deal.'

Half of the profits from the single to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Kim says she did the song to bring her out of her comfort zone and while she enjoyed it, she has no plans to release an album.


Time to shop: Kim got in a bit of retail therapy and she grabbed an iced tea today in Malibu, California

Is that Kim Kardashian? Socialite takes inspiration from Nicki Minaj for Jam music video in black and red wig

By Daily Mail Reporter


New look: Kim Kardashian pulled on a scarlet red and jet black wig for her the video for her new single Jam


Her long glossy locks are almost as famous as her curvy figure.

And while Kim Kardashian may constantly change her wardrobe, she rarely changes her hair.

But the reality star completely transformed her look for her new Jam music video, seemingly taking inspiration from the unlikely source of rapper Nicki Minaj.

Pulling on a scarlet red and jet black wig, the 30-year-old mogul was almost unrecognisable if it wasn't for her trademark pouty lips.


Along with the synthetic strands she pressed on acrylic nails in similar colours.

She also poured her ample curves into a pink-laced corset making her bustier that ever.

The extreme look was finished off with stage make-up which achieved an almost doll-like effect.

Kim, as always, took to her blog to upload the photos from the video shoot and to express her excitement over the new look.

'This is one of the other fun looks I tried out for my music video. It's definitely a different look from anything I've tried before! How amazing are those nails!?' she wrote.

The pictures showed Kim being made-up for the shoot and posing and pouting with her make-up artist.

It also gave her fans a sneak peek of the new music video.

The excited star released her début single earlier this week on Ryan Seacrest's KISS FM breakfast show.

The poppy dance track, Jam (Turn It Up) was produced by hit record maker The Dream, who has worked with the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce and Kanye West.

'It's a fun dance song,' Kim told Ryan Seacrest, going on to describe the response it got in Las Vegas over New Year.

'We played it in Tao in Vegas and the whole crowd was singing along in the end.'
The singer revealed she was uneasy at first about trying something new.

'I think it's only normal for me to be nervous,' she told MTV of the chance to work alongside The Dream on a song.

'I'm human… this is definitely something that I don't do. I needed to step outside my comfort zone. This is a really big deal.'

'This was just a fun new experience.

'I am so glad I went for it. And the proceeds to Jam are being donated to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.'.

Reviews of the new song have already started streaming in and unfortunately for Kim they aren't so kind.

The New York Daily News especially gave the tune a particularly scathing evaluation.

'It's official: Atlanta Housewife Kim Zolciak is no longer the worst singer ever to slither out of a reality TV series and into a recording studio,' it said.

'It's a dead-brained piece of generic dance music, without a single distinguishing feature. As for Kim's singing, it's a bit of breathing that's been auto-tuned into something vaguely approximating a vocal.'

Meanwhile Kim has been enjoying some downtime.

Finished product: Kim also posted a sneak peek of her music video clip


Yesterday she treated herself to a pampering session as she headed to the Lancer Dermatology centre in Beverly Hills for some skin care.

Dressed in a long beige cardigan and some casual jeans, she looked ready for relaxation.

But for her day-off she still couldn't bare to be without a pair of platform stilettos.

She slipped on a cream and gold pair for the occasion.
