The collection's focus track is "Obsession" by 18-year-old Internet sensation Sky Ferreira, who'll release her eagerly anticipated debut CD in early 2011.

The Original Television Soundtrack: The Vampire Diaries is out October 12, 2010, while the new season of the hit CW network show - about two vampire brothers obsessed with the same beautiful girl, who are battling to control the fate of an entire town - launches its second season September 9, 2010 (airing Thursdays at 8/7c). The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season was released on Blu-ray™ and DVD on August 31.

The Vampire Diaries' first season premiere generated the largest audience in network history for a series debut with 5.7 million total viewers, and is The CW's most-watched show.

Based on the best-selling series of books by L.J. Smith, the show stars Nina Dobrev ("DeGrassi: The Next Generation"), Paul Wesley ("Fallen") and Ian Somerhalder ("Lost"), Steven R. McQueen ("Everwood"), Sara Canning ("Smallville"), Katerina Graham ("17 Again"), Candice Accola ("Juno"), Zach Roerig ("Friday Night Lights"), Michael Trevino ("Cane") and Matt Davis ("Legally Blonde, Blue Crush").

Executive produced by Kevin Williamson ("Dawson's Creek," Scream), Julie Plec ("Kyle XY"), Leslie Morgenstein ("Gossip Girl," "Pretty Little Liars") and Bob Levy ("Gossip Girl," "Privileged"), the series is from Bonanza Productions Inc., Outerbanks Entertainment and Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios.

Of the 16 songs on the album, all were heard in the first season of The Vampire Diaries or will be featured in Season 2.

Like the hit show, the soundtrack also has a hip yet darkly compelling and sensuous vibe. From cool cover songs, including Placebo doing Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" and Digital Daggers taking on Tears for Fears' "Head Over Heels," to the gorgeous vocals of "Sleep Alone" by Bat for Lashes to Sky Ferreira's edgy dance-pop "Obsession," The Original Television Soundtrack: The Vampire Diaries proves irresistible.

"Obsession," produced by Dave Tedder (OneRepublic, Beyoncé, Rihanna), is heard in the upcoming season of The Vampire Diaries, and is perfect for the show's intense visuals and storylines, as Ferreira sings: "Here's my confession, I don't just want you to love me, I wanna be your obsession."

Sky Ferreira, an LA-based Portuguese-American singer-songwriter and actress (Putty Hill), is currently working with Paul Epworth, Bloodshy & Avant, Dallas Austin and Linda Perry on her debut CD. "Obsession" The Original Television Soundtrack: The Vampire Diaries is Ferreira's first international single release.
