Production
In November 2006, Simpson said that she was going to meet with record executives soon and begin working on her third album. Simpson also stated that she would like to work with Robert Smith from The Cure, who attended her last performance as Roxie Hart in the musical "Chicago".[2]
Producer Ron Fair said in December 2006 that working on Simpson's next album would be "very tricky" because of press scrutiny and "prejudices", but that Geffen would work with her to overcome that, "because she deserves to be heard and she deserves a shot."[3]
On January 17, 2007, Simpson sent out a message to her fans, saying "I am starting to write and record a new album which I am so excited about", and "I have a good feeling about 2007, and I can't wait for you guys to hear my new album later on this year".
On February 1, 2007, MTV's TRL spoke about Simpson's new music, saying such top artists as Tom Petty, Pharrell Williams, Linda Perry, India.Arie, Pharrel, Diddy, Justin Timberlake and will.i.am wanted to help Simpson with her third album.
On March 6, 2007, MTV reported that Simpson's next album would have "a more soulful sound" and was planned for release in October 2007. Simpson said she was writing with many different people.[4]
