It has been roughly three years since pop rock singer Ashlee Simpson was caught using a pre-recorded vocal track on Saturday Night Live and booed by thousands after performing during the halftime of the Orange Bowl.
Though she has gone through the downs of her career, she is now up again with her brand new album,
Bittesweet World.
Releasing on April 22, this somewhat controversial singer has a few songs up her sleeve that should please the fans and perhaps, even new fans. The only strategy is to pull them in with the right tracks.
