Lindsay Lohan is recording a new album.

She said: "I have to record another album for Universal/Motown. And I will."

However, the 29-year-old actress is desperate not to overshadow her sister, who has the voice of "Etta James meets Adele".

Speaking in a Synaptop live chat, she added: "With that being said, my sister is signed to EMI. She’s recording a record, and out of respect for her and her true career choice - which is all she wants to do is make music, and her voice is like ... Etta James meets Adele - I want to respect her in that lane and stay in my lane working with children and creating films and writing and directing ...

"I will sing in my films, but I want her to sing in them as well. So, as much as I want to sing every day, I don’t want my sister to hate me.

"I want her to sing with my friend Parson James at my birthday. I’ll be 30 this year, and I want her to sing at it. I’m scared to ask her. She’s so kind of nervous about it, but she’s really good. She has a Soundcloud song called ‘The Devil Inside.’ She has a beautiful voice and she’s a beautiful person. She’s a Buddhist and she’s really spiritual and I just really admire her."

And whilst her career will go from strength to strength, things are also looking up in her personal life as she has found "true happiness" with fiancé Russian heir Egor Tarabasov, according to her father.

He said: "I'm so happy that Lindsay has found true happiness. It's written all over both of them."
