Jessica Simpson is joyously marking her 45th birthday with a captivating video on Instagram, where she playfully sucks on a cherry while hinting at new music. Her birthday celebration aligns with her musical resurgence, following the release of the first part of her EP, “Nashville Canyon,” in March. The upcoming second part is highly anticipated by fans.
In her Instagram video, Simpson expresses her cheerful outlook, stating, “To start off my 45th year ’round the sun, I’m gonna bright side the journey of life by choosin’ to be the HAPPY part of my BIRTHDAY.” She invites her followers to pre-save her upcoming track, “Fade,” which is part of the forthcoming release. The video features her lounging in a bathtub, adorned with a furry coat, playfully writing the song’s title on the wall with bright red lipstick.
This EP marks Simpson’s return to the music scene after a 15-year hiatus, during which she took a hiatus from her musical career to focus on other aspects of her life. Previously, she shared that “Nashville Canyon” is a deeply personal project, reflecting a journey of self-discovery and artistic freedom. She emphasizes her desire to let her voice guide her, turning her back on the constraints she felt in her earlier career.
Simpson credits her daughter, Maxwell, with inspiring her return to her musical roots. During a memorable moment, Maxwell expressed her wish to hear “I Saw the Light” instead of “Happy Birthday,” leading Simpson to reconnect with her Nashville origins, where she recorded her first gospel album at just 15 years old.
This year has already been a transformative journey for Simpson, as she made her live performance comeback at the SXSW festival, a significant milestone in her return to the spotlight. She reflected, “This time, I needed to remember who I was and why I wanted to sing in the first place.”
Overall, Simpson’s birthday celebration not only highlights a personal milestone but also marks an exciting chapter in her artistic journey, embracing creativity and self-expression.
