Each day I will pick a random artist/band to discuss. Post your favourite songs by them, why you love them, why you hate them, what albums of theirs you own.
Today's artist is Ashlee Simpson:
Punk Chick or Desperate Wannabe?
When Ashlee first came onto the scene she seemed to be trying to carve her self in the punk chick/Avril Lavigne type role, even more so with her second album I Am Me. However with the release of her third album, Bittersweet World, she appeared to have ditched that persona in the place of a Gwen Stefani-esque ska-pop-elctro feel. This change in genre contributed to Bittersweet World being her worst selling album to date.
Often over shadowed by her sister Jessica, today Ashlee seems to have finally become an artist in her own right. And to be fair to her she has had some good tunes:
LaLa
Boyfriend
Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)
But overall, something about Ashlee seems terribly wish washy and doesn't seem to perfectly fit into any genre.
What do you think?
