Jessica Simpson Goes Country

In case you haven’t already heard the news, Jessica Simpson is planning on releasing her first country music album this year to jumpstart her stalled singing career.

CMT reports that she is working with Nashville songwriters and hopes to emulate the work of female country notables including Martina McBride, Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Reba McEntire. According to People, she hopes to write at least a few of the songs on the album herself saying:

“Writing is a release for me… It’s a way for me to tell my story. That’s not to say I wouldn’t record a song that I didn’t write. It’s just that it has been a while since I have opened the book.”

This is certainly a big departure from her early career as a pop star. Do you think she can pull off country?
