Released at the height of Montags fame as a star of the MTV show The Hills (following her initial run on Laguna Beach), the albums title was a knowing nod to her glamorous, blonde, L.A. party-girl persona. With her then-boyfriend and co-star Spencer Pratt by her side and with early guidance (if not actual production) by studio-icon David Foster, Montag put together a cadre of production and songwriting collaborators, most notably working with Steve Morales and singer Cathy Dennis. Together, they framed Montags breathy, paper-thin vocals in icy electronics, basketball game buzzer synths, and belt-cracking post-house and disco grooves. The end result almost sounds like an intentional parody of 2000s dance-pop, evoking the influence of Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, but also leaning into the EDM of Kaskade and Tiesto. This isnt necessarily a bad thing, and cuts like \"Fanatic\" and \"More Is More\" have a hooky, leave-it-all-on-the-dancefloor enthusiasm that speaks to the savvy creativity of Montags production team. Interestingly, the album even has a Lady Gaga connection in the non-album single \"Fashion,\" co-written (and even later recorded) by Gaga that was eventually added to subsequent anniversary editions of Superficial. Montag purportedly spent almost all her money on producing the album and without any label support, Superficial went largely unnoticed upon its initial release. Over the years however, tracks like \"Blackout\" and \"Look How Im Doin\" garnered a cult fan base and in 2023 a version of \"Ill Do It\" went viral on TikTok. After Montag and Pratt lost their home in the Pacific Palisades Fire in 2025, fans helped push Superficial back onto the charts. Is the album a lost classic of 2010s dance pop? Not really, but it has its charms. Call it a guilty pleasure if you must, blame it on 2000s nostalgia, but no matter the initial spark of creativity or commercialism that drove Montag to make it, Superficial remains a glossy, gleefully tacky, and campy good time. ~ Matt Collar\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pratt Productions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51093332623649,"sku":"5021732437679","price":33.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5021732437679.jpg?v=1743091439","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/de-de\/products\/5021732437679","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
