Laura Izibor has recorded a brand, spanking new song especially for her debut appearance on The CW's hit series, One Tree Hill! The song, entitled "Can't Be Love," arrives at all DSPs today, which is the same day the Irish songstress will perform the song as part of her acting debut on the long-running drama. Set your DVRs or tune in and watch it live.
The multi-tasking and multi-talented Izibor will join the cast of One Tree Hill as "Erin," a recurring role slated to appear throughout the series' current season.
It appears as though the part of Erin was written expressly for Izibor. "There's a musician I fell in love with and a storyline I fell in love with," One Tree Hill creator/executive producer Mark Schwahn recently told TVGuide.com. "We actually married them together for Laura Izibor. She's really compelling, I loved her record, I really loved her accent and her vibe, and felt that was an energy we hadn't included on our show."
What's more, Izibor's new rendition of the show's official theme song, "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw, will premiere alongside her acting debut. The song will also be made available on the One Tree Hill website, http://cwtv.com/shows/one-tree-hill. The youth-directed sudser is now in its eighth season and airs Tuesdays at 8/7 C on The CW.
