Jessica Simpson Says She's A Country Girl at Heart
Jessica Simpson seems to have found her musical niche and it's country. Jessica Simpson says she has always looked up to country stars like Dolly Parton and that country has always been in her heart. Jessica also created boyfriend Tony Romo with helping her through the tough times.
WQIK has a first listen for Jessica Simpson's new country song "Come on Over." It certainly sounds convincingly country enough for Simpson to reinvent herself as a country star.
The singer is "talking about doing a country record and going back to her roots, being from Texas," Jessica's father and manager, Joe Simpson, told PEOPLE at Hard Rock Hotel's Rolling Stone party in Las Vegas.
"Everything in our business is about beats and I think she really wants to sing," he said, "and country music still believes in that."
Simpson, 27, recently finished filming Major Movie Star and is turning her thoughts back to her music. Her last album, 2006's "Public Affair," hit the Top 20, but quickly fell off the charts.
"She's a singer from top to bottom," Joe Simpson said. "And everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the the only pure, storytelling kind of genre left."
You can listen to the song and vote on whether or not you like it here. Jessica Simpson's website says her new album will come out in September.
