Performer Notes

Although Ashlee Simpson had to deal with the Saturday NIGHT LIVE lip-synching debacle that followed the release of her successful debut, she still managed to escape the shadow of her older sister, Jessica, and emerged as a popular performer in her own right. On 2005's I AM ME, Simpson clearly revels in her independence and renewed confidence, moving forward with an energetic set of guitar-heavy pop/rock tunes. Though her music still falls into the vein of Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff, the dense, layered production of multi-instrumentalist John Shanks helps to distinguish the tunes here, which he co-penned along with Simpson. Given assured tracks such as the immediately catchy "In Another Life" and the New Wave-tinged "Dancing Alone," I AM ME is a worthy successor to Simpson's first album and bodes well for the young singer's future.
