19/Ashlee Simpson/Bittersweet World
The following is the tracklisting for Ashlee Simpson’s latest LP Bittersweet World:
1. Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)
2. Boys
3. Rule Breaker
4. No Time for Tears
5. Little Miss Obsessive
6. Ragdoll
7. Bittersweet World
8. What I’ve Become
9. Hot Stuff
10. Murder
11. Never Dream Alone
Now I know what you may be thinking. Boys? Rule Breaker? Hot Stuff? Little Miss Obsessive? How old is Ashlee Simpson again? Or you may be asking yourself, is this album even for me? I don’t know, can’t answer that question for you. But I will say this, don’t let the song titles or the name splattered across the marquee turn you away, for this is one of the most unabashedly "fuck it, let's have fun" albums of the year. Throughout the duration of this album, Ashlee buttresses each verse, lyric, and bridge with a wink and a sneer, a bite of the lip, or a come hither coo, whatever it may take to get her point across and let you know that this ain’t a game, she is for real. With a little help from some well picked friends (Santogold, Kenna, Timbaland, a Pharrell-less Chad Hugo), Ashlee takes a few steps away from the Avril-like posing of albums past and marches in a new direction that she feels is more up her alley, cause as the saying goes, sometimes girls just wanna have fun.
