Jessica Simpson’s manager and father Joe Simpson spoke with People magazine at Hard Rock Hotel’s “Rolling Stones Party” in Las Vegas. Joe revealed that his daughter might be switching over to country:
“Everything in our business is about beats and I think she really wants to sing,” he said, “and country music still believes in that.”
Simpson, 27, recently finished filming “Major Movie Star” and is turning her thoughts back to her music. Her last album, 2006’s “Public Affair,” hit the Top 20, but quickly fell off the charts.
“She’s a singer from top to bottom,” Joe Simpson said. “And everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the the only pure, storytelling kind of genre left.”
On whether she will be accepted among country fans, he said, “She’s from Texas. How could she not?”
