美国“第一夫人”米歇尔要出专辑啦。据了解，米歇尔·奥巴马要推出的这张唱片名为《健康美国歌》，目的是为了推广她发起的“让我们动起来”活动，该活动旨在抵抗青少年肥胖症和倡导健康的生活方式。

Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Miley Cyrus aren't the only stars readying albums for the new season; First Lady Michelle Obama is as well.

It was announced that Ms Obama's Let's Move! campaign will release an album titled Songs for a Healthier America next month. The 19-song compilation¹ touts²（兜售，招徕） the virtues³ of healthy living and features song titles like U R What You Eat, Veggie Luv and the slightly less emphatic⁴ We Like Vegetables.

Before anyone gets too excited, the album will not feature any singing or rapping from the First Lady. Instead, Ms Obama will make cameos（配角） in ten videos distributed to schools in New York and other US cities in conjunction with the record.

More disappointing than the album's lack of the First Lady's vocal⁵ stylings is the track listing, which leaves something to be desired. Sure there's hip-hop legend DMC, but the roster⁶ of talent is mainly filled with has-beens and never-weres like Doug E. Fresh, Travis Barker, and Monifah.

While it's unlikely that there's a line of A-List talent waiting to sing and write songs about the importance of healthy living, the album's lack of star power is a surprise. Let's Move! was launched with an original song and video from Beyonce after all.
