Will we finally hear more music from Robert Pattinson? It looks like it!

The British actor, 25, plans on hitting the studio to record his own album before promoting for Breaking Dawn begins, a source told Us Weekly. "Rob has been kicking a few original songs around for a long time, but his schedule didn't allow it," the insider said.

Music, not acting, is actually Rob's first love, and he's been able to marry the two quite nicely. The avid guitar player, who held jam sessions in his hotel room while filming the vampire flicks, recorded "Never Think" and the bonus track "Let Me Sign" for the original Twilight soundtrack. He also played a young singer/songwriter going through an existential crisis in the 2008 indie flick How To Be.

Check out the actor's emotional, live version of the song "I Was Broken" below.

A second source told the mag that we shouldn't expect top 40 pop hits out of Robert.

"The album Rob will make will be guitar-based and drums, very organic-sounding, nothing pop, like stripped-down Ray LaMontagne meets Van Morrison," the Pattinson insider said.

If it's anything like the music we've already heard, we're pretty sure we'll be happy campers!
