There have been so many changes in Jessica Simpson’s life recently. Although she is navigating the challenges of establishing her new normal amid the news of her split from Eric Johnson (her husband of a decade and father of her three children), other parts of her life, like her career, are going better than expected.
Simpson has relaunched her music career and released singles from her upcoming Nashville Canyon EP (which will be available later this year). This is exciting news for fans, marking the first time the songstress has released material in 15 years. Some have even praised Simpson’s work as the best yet! She is aware of the feedback from fans and took to Instagram recently to thank them for their continued support and reflect on her journey.
Jessica Simpson’s Fans Are Reacting To Her Emotional New Song
She posted a short clip (although more footage is available on her YouTube channel) for her 6.3 million Instagram followers to see. In it, she appears in her recording studio and gives an interview while the newly released track, “Leave,” plays in the background. In the caption, Simpson shared her thoughts, writing, “Thank you for all the love on ‘Leave!’ I am oh so deeply grateful for each and every one of you! I urge everyone to allow yourselves to be empowered by heartbreak, to never stay quiet with your needs and to always know that love should demand respect.” Could this song paint a picture of what went wrong in her marriage to Johnson? It has undoubtedly created speculation.
Fans have flooded the comment section to share their thoughts. While some are concerned about the emotions explored in “Leave,” as it appears to be about a woman begging her partner to leave after the hurt he has caused her, others have celebrated Simpson’s vocals! “This new era is incredible!” a comment reads. “So so good! And seeing you deliver that vocal is astonishing,” another fan shared. Other reactions include, “It might be your best song EVER…. No joke,” and “love your new music jessica!!!”
Simpson has entered her new era, and fans are here for it. This is something she recently addressed in an interview with People. “I came in with: forget who they told you to be. That was the manufactured version of myself,” she said of her approach to making her EP, compared with how she was as a young artist just starting her music career. “Remember the person that opened her mouth and sang ‘Amazing Grace’ for the first time. Remember that girl and remember that as a woman — and to have freedom in music, that’s what you’re going to hear in Nashville Canyon.”
She’s only getting started!
