Do You Know - Jessica Simpson

Do You Know (September 2008) - Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson will release her highly anticipated debut country album, "Do You Know", September 9, 2008 on Columbia Nashville. Produced by Brett James and John Shanks, Simpson co-wrote all but three of the tracks featured on the disc, including her current Top 25 hit single, “Come On Over.”

Simpson is certainly ready to come on over to country music. Recorded in Nashville, TN, this album gives listeners an inside look into the real Jessica Simpson. “Every single song is a piece of my heart … who I am,” comments Simpson. “I’m not what everybody thinks that I am. Believe it or not, I’m a simple country girl. I might buy expensive shoes,” she laughs, “But, I’m definitely a simple country girl and this album will hopefully give people a sense of who Jessica is again.”

After the release of her 2006 pop album 'A Public Affair', Simpson repeatedly stated she wanted to go back to her roots and do country music. She wanted to do country music because she has been brought up around country music, and wants to give something back. She started her country move by appearing in the music video for 'You don't think I'm funny anymore', by country legend Willie Nelson. She then went to Nashville to start recording her album. Her debut country single, 'Come on Over' was leaked onto the internet on May 27th. It was received with mostly positive reviews. The single also made chart history by becoming the first debut country single by a solo artist to debut on the country chart at the position of 41. The single was released to digital downloads on June 24th, along with the physical release in July. She has noted Martina McBride and Shania Twain among her inspirations. She also worked with Dolly Parton on the album, recording a duet entitled 'Do You Know'. According to the official Jessica Simpson website, the album is said to be released on September 9th, 2008.
