Jessica Simpson reveals more of her sweetest sins.

For all of you who thought (hoped) that Jessica Simpson would slowly fade into back into oblivion, now that Newlyweds, and her marriage, are over, you’re out of luck. A report on www.mtv.com promises that another overly dramatic, potentially ballad-packed album will be available before the end of 2006.

Titled And the Band Played On, the album was initially slated for a November release, a date which ended up conflicting with the singer’s separation from husband Nick Lachey and ultimate announcement of their impending divorce. Not quite ideal timing, nor tempo. Originally intended to be a more upbeat, country-eqse compilation, Jessica and her producers were forced to reconsider their original plans. I mean, c’mon – even with those stellar acting skills, honed in The Dukes of Hazzard, how could Jess possibly fool her fans into a happy-go-lucky sound and attitude in the midst of her personal crisis?

"I think that with my music, you can't help but tell people a story about your life," Jessica said when interviewed. "I believe that every artist, that's their artistry — it comes out of them naturally, through lyrics, through music, through instrumentation. So with this next record, you will see and hear a lot of things I've been going through. And if that can offer any inspiration to anybody else going through the same situations, so be it. That's why I'm here."

How profound. And how lucky we are that we’re in for more details on what’s been going on with Jessica. Just in case you might have missed what she's up to, given she’s so good at keeping a low profile. Are you ready, boots?
