Ashlee Simpson

Autobiography

Our Rating: 7.5 / 10

You may already know and be familiar with Ashlee Simpson from her role as the adorable and charming Cecilia, who is Simon Camden's love interest on the WB's hit show 7th Heaven. After spending two seasons on the show, Ashlee Simpson wanted to have a change of pace, and start working on recording her own album. Ashlee makes everyone quite aware that she is NOT like her big sis, Jessica Simpson, whose superstardom has developed tremendously in recent years, and can be recognized all over the world. Ashlee wanted to make her own mark in the music industry with her brand new album entitled Ashlee Simpson: Autobiography, which is already out in stores.

With a hit reality show, similar to that of her big sis, featured on MTV, and oodles of other accomplishments already at the tender age of 19, it's no wonder that Ashlee Simpson is geared up to enlighten audiences with her side of the story. With her soul seeking, rock inspired and quite eclectic sounding new album, Ashlee takes us on a vintage felt ride, packed with heart felt emotions and confessions of teenage puppy love. Ashlee admits that she was quite a tomboy growing up, while sister, Jessica, was more of the girlie, dress up type. Ashlee's individual style leaks all out in her latest album, with more rock and punk undertones.

Her first single, Pieces of Me, is a pumped up, feel good song that anyone could easily rock out to. She co-wrote the song about a good guy friend, with who she can be herself around, and who feels "real" when she needs someone to be there for her. On the track entitled Autobiography, Ashlee sings, "I'm a simple girl in a complex world." Complex world might be true, but there's nothing at all simple about the multi-talented Ashlee Simpson! Her new album is a true inspiration, and really allows her listeners to view "Jessica Simpson's little sister" in a whole new light.
