It's sometimes funny in the music world when peeps can be like ZOMG ____________ DOESN'T DO MUSIC ZOMG THEY MUST BE DEAD... yet if they checked for something aside from music they'd see they are actually slaying other avenues... (yes we need an album, her sister needs to get one out as well!)

She's been promoting her brand all week and mentioned recording the new album.

She might be ditzy but she parlayed that into one hell of an empire. Can't wait for new music.

Lots of celebrities attach their names to brands and lots of more popular celebrities have not had as much success as anyone would've expected Jessica Simpson-anything to have. I'm not saying she's the complete brains but I'm not underestimating her business acumen either. I've always thought she's more involved than people might give the "dumb blonde" credit for.

She had sufficient business acumen to realize that clothing and perfume are more profitable than music, and to lend her name and image to a brand. So, well done her. But I don't believe for a second she's doing much work beyond being the face and ambassador of the brand and occasional promotion (as this week).

Love her, and I'm glad her home studio is almost done being constructed so we could finally get some new music from her. I wonder if she'll work with The-Dream and Tricky again, as I thought they gave her some nice jams on that XMas Album #2.

A cover of Simpson's "With You" is one of Vulture's Best New Songs of the Week: www.vulture.com/2016/02/11-best-new-songs-of-the-week.htmlWaxahatchee, “With You” (Jessica Simpson Cover)Ugh, what a perfect marriage of song and artist. Actually first heard during the season finale of the last season of Girls, this song was released last week as part of the third volume of the show’s soundtrack. Waxahatchee strips away the song's very dated, turn-of-the-century textures, leaving the sweet melody. Jessica Simpson was always the country bubblegum-pop artist, even if her music never really sounded that country; Waxahatchee similarly has the ability to sound country without actually making country music. It’s the weight; the lived-in quality. —JDF Let's all replay this classic: 13 million views on YouTube!

Oh my, for real?! The Today Show summer series means she's really coming back with a pop album. I've been jamming to A Public Affair quite a bit recently so this is welcome af. "B.O.Y." absolutely should have been a single back in the day.

"B.O.Y." absolutely should have been a single back in the day. Nice I still listen to tracks from this cd as well. "Public Affair" was one of my favorites from that year. I don't get why it didn't do that well. Radio was basically curious but I guess getting over her at that point. For the cd I remember loving "Fired Up". I was hoping for a single release for it. I liked the bonus track/re-release/ kind of abandoned single "I Belong To Me (supposed Mariah knock off) as well. "BOY" and "Spin Me Round And Round" were ok to pretty good. I Loved "Between You & I". I love the sound of it which kind of reminds me of MiMi's "Forever". "Back To You" is pretty as well and if the project went as planned I thought it was single worthy. "I Don't Want Care" is a decent midtempo. I could see her pronunciation annoying some though. "Push Tush" is one of the Stupidest things recorded. Who ever told her she was funny was paid handsomely at the time on her payroll. Same could be said for "Swing For Me" (not as bad i guess). "Let her Fly" wasn't all that bad if I remember correctly. For some reason I remember her getting all emotional singing it live. It may have been to Nick??? I liked this cd. It deserved better than it did. However I can see where some might find it a little corny at times because it can be. Thanks for listening. lol

^It totally deserved better. My only gripes with the album as a whole as it has aged (and Jesus I can't believe it's been 10 years), is that a few tracks sound too much like Country songs that she last minute turned pop.
Regardless, the title track, "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)", "B.O.Y.", and "The Lover in Me" were excellent pop songs. "I Belong to Me" had no business being a single, but it also shouldn't have originally been a bonus track either. "Let Him Fly", "Push Your Tush", and "Back to You" all should have been cut or at least relegated to bonus track status before "I Belong to Me".
Special shoutout to "Fired Up" for being the most 2006 banger to ever exist and being a track I consistently go back to at the gym.

Is she still doing the Today Show Summer Concert series on August 26th?? I'm confused because she has NO new music out, what exactly is she going to promote there? Was the new music project pushed back or what?

I wonder how her voice is sounding these days. I wouldn't be surprised if it's changed a lot, because we haven't heard her sing in over half a decade, AND she's had two kids since then. Maybe her voice has gotten deeper and more womanly and less like just a very loud little girl.

Was the new music project pushed back or what? Literally just double checked the other day if she were still doing it, since we've heard nothing. Maybe she's debut a new single while also singing her old stuff? It's unclear.

Something I find very strange about her is how she's been blatantly ignoring her biggest hit "I Wanna Love You Forever" since like 2003. She acts like her debut and sophomore efforts never even happened, and that "With You" was her first single ever. Personally I think her earlier material was better. I'd even rather hear her sing "Irresistible" over "With You"! "Irresistible" the album actually had some jams, and she sounded fantastic on the ballads. Then she took on this new way of singing for "In This Skin" and I really wasn't feeling it.

DNCE took her spot. Whatever she was planning must not have been ready yet. Disappointed.

She has been posting some old footage onto her YouTube account recently:
This REALLY makes me think that new music is on the way.
