Heidi Montag's music success has given her a renewed sense of "hope"

Heidi told People: "It gave me such hope to be able to rebuild and move forward in life.

"Life is so expensive, and these things I loved, cherished and collected over the years, and our house, it's just stuff you can't replace. It was just so heartwarming, too, to have so many people rally behind us and support us, especially when we have never particularly been supported in our careers. It was really nice to have that moment for the first time."

Heidi has worked on the project with her husband, Spencer Pratt.

She said: "Spencer and I are definitely partners in the record label.

"We always have been, so we both find the songs, like the songs. He does so much texting and work, and he's definitely the ex ecutive of Pratt Productions, [with] the amount of emails, phone calls and scheduling and finding things. Then, we listen, and ultimately, I make the choice at the end of the day of what songs I'm going to cut or not, but we tend to agree because it is both of our money, time and lives. He's the best, that's for sure."

In May, Heidi revealed that she and her husband "don't have the finances" to rebuild their home.

Speaking to The Independent, Heidi explained: "They're saying it's gonna cost five million to rebuild the house that cost a third of that; we just don't have the finances, and I'm not sure we can keep our lot because you still have to pay a mortgage on it. I'm not sure what we're going to be able to do."

Heidi is determined to work as hard as possible in a bid to raise money. However, the reality star isn't sure if it'll be enough.

She said: "I'm just trying to work as hard as I can, as much as I can, to be able to afford any type of house or down payment on something for our kids."
