Jessica Simpson has announced that she is returning to the music industry.
The 35-year-old is currently building a basement studio in which to record her comeback tracks.
Jessica with husband Eric Johnson in New York this week.
Speaking on America’s Today Show, the former reality star gushed about the music and singing:
“That’s how I started. That’s always been one of my biggest passions in the world. I love to use my voice.”
The mum-of-two revealed her at-home studio will be completed next month and added: “then I’m down in my basement recording.
“I’m sure my kids will completely take over.”
Jessica and Eric have two children, Maxwell (3) and Ace (2).
Jessica has not released any new music since her Happy Christmas album in 2010, but prior to that had taken a big step back from the industry in order to focus on her hugely successful beauty and fashion lines.
One thing Jessica will not be returning to, however, is reality TV.
The singer, who starred in Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica with her ex-husband Nick Lachey, revealed that reality TV is in her past.
Nick and Jessica divorced in 2005.
She said: “That’s very rear view.
“Having a camera on me at all times, I mean we all know I stick my foot in my mouth a little bit too much.”
But that’s why we love you Jessica!
