Clad in all black (chipped nail polish and all), Ashlee Simpson makes an appearance on MTV’s Total Request Live in New York City on Thursday.
The blonde lip syncing sensation’s new album is tentatively scheduled to drop in March, and when fans finally get a listen, Ashlee said they’ll be hearing something that’s equal parts “cheeky, quirky and sweet.”
“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.”
As for what’s next? “Who knows? My next record, what if I do a metal record? It goes with how you are and where you’re at in a time in your life. And right now, I’m at an easygoing, fun, loving time.”
