Jessica Simpson: No More Country Label
|
|
It sounds like Jessica Simpson will be taking her country crooning elsewhere, as her reps have confirmed that she is no longer with the Sony Nashville label. There were many reports earlier today stating that the 28-year-old singer's name was clearly missing from Columbia Nashville and Sony Music Nashville Web sites. The Daisy Duke star also did not attend the Academy of Country Music Awards, even after announcing the nominees earlier this year. Miss Simpson does have an explanation, though. Her rep says, She was on load to Sony Nashville for her country album." Simpson recently brought country into her singing career but her rep says she is and has always been an Epic artist. She continues to be on Epic's label." Simpson's country debut, Do You Know," cam out at No. 1 on the Billboard country charts, yet only sold 172,876 copies as of February. The blonde bombshell has also been struggling this year, such as opening for Rascal Flatts, where she messed up many lines as well as forgetting some and receiving weight criticism. But Jessica still knows where her roots are from. I am a country girl. I grew up in Texas, and country music was what I listened to." The star also says that Martina McBride, Shania Twain and Faith Hill give her inspiration: I think there is a strength in female country artists."

Earlier in the day Jessica was looking chipper as she exited a Toluca Lake home following a voice lesson, sporting a brown leather jacket overtop a plaid button-up with slim fit jeans and brown leather boots. Though she's never really been known for her singing ability, perhaps Ms. Alba is preparing for a singing role in an upcoming project.
