For a while now, Ashlee Simpson's third studio album was known to be titled, Color Outside The Lines. However, in a recent exclusive interview with MTV News, the singer revealed that the final title would be Bittersweet World. Ashlee said, "I had been thinking about it, but then I guess today I just decided that I'm gonna call my album Bittersweet World," she said. "It's the title of one of the songs on my record. I was contemplating Color Outside the Lines for a while, but Bittersweet World is the one I feel. ... It's kind of how I feel about the world right now."Bittersweet is tentatively scheduled to hit stores in March, and when fans finally get a listen, Simpson said they'll be hearing something that's equal parts "cheeky, quirky and sweet," an album that reflects her life in the spotlight ("Out Of My Head" is about "having so many voices in your head and everybody's opinions") and her growth as a person. And it sounds like it was recorded in 1985.
"It's definitely influenced by '80s music," she said. "I wanted to do music with beats, I wanted to step outside the box. It's where I am in my life. There's parts of the record that are '80s-influenced, because that's just kind of where I'm at right now. I'm more laid-back, and I want to dance around, and I kind of laugh at things a lot, so you'll hear that on the record."
Interesting.
