| However unlikely, JD McPherson was a shrewd choice to produce Jessica Simpson's comeback track, "Use My Heart Against Me." Have a listen below. |
Writes JD McPherson...
"I’m not sure where to start. Today marks the first music Jessica Simpson has released in 15 or so years. I’ll just say that producing this project for Jess has been one of the most rewarding and F-U-N experiences making music I’ve ever had. I’m very proud to be a part of this story, a story of someone courageously seizing control of their life, agency, and creative output.
"There’s a lot more music to come, but I just want to say THANK YOU to Jessica and her wonderful team for involving me in the craziest idea ever seen on paper." – JD McPherson
Writes Jessica Simpson on a recent Instagram posting, the song "Use My Heart Against Me" was inspired by "artists from the roots of Rock and Roll like Betty James, Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry to name a few."
For those who aren't as up on obscure female R&B belters from the early 60s as Jessica, Betty James is the nom-du-disc of Baltimore's Nadine Renaye who cut the hip-shakin' "I'm A Little Mixed Up" for Cee-Jay in 1961 (have a listen right here) and later "I Like The Way You Walk" (listen here) which were both picked up by Chess for wider distribution.
Check out Jessica Simpson's "Use My Heart Against Me" – the first track from her forthcoming two-part project "Nashville Canyon" (the first part of is due March 21 with the second part coming this summer) – following the preview clip below.
