ASHLEE SIMPSON

ASHLEE SIMPSON is in a good place. She has two multi-platinum records that debuted back to back at the top of the charts, and collectively sold more than four million copies in the US alone. She has two sold-out tours under her belt, a tight-knit family, a loyal fan base, and a burgeoning second career as an actress. So when it came time to create her third album, she wanted the music to represent where she was at in life. "Life is really good right now. I’m young. I love my life and I enjoy my time off too. I wanted to celebrate all that on my next record," says ASHLEE, who’s album "Bittersweet World" is released on May 19th. The first single for the UK is "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya), produced by Timbaland, who worked on half of the tracks on the new album. ASHLEE wrote or co-wrote every track on the album, and the final product is a mix of ballads, radio-friendly anthems and dance floor ditties. "I never want to be handed a song to sing. I don’t work that way. This is my art and it’s personal. If someone else writes the song without my input, it doesn’t feel honest." "Outta My Head" is released on May 12th on Geffen Records through Polydor Records.
