I have songs from those times that I never released because they just didn\u2019t feel like me. Every time I would write, I was a little afraid of myself. It was almost too much, especially because I was drinking at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But once I gave up the alcohol, the fears just diminished. They went away. And it was so much easier for me to access myself artistically. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019d thought the more I drank, the more cool I could be and find cool words that would rhyme, that wouldn\u2019t be so expected. I overthought it when I drank.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJessica is releasing an emotional-filled EP, called &#8216;Nashville Canyon Part 1&#8217;, and the blonde beauty has insisted that she&#8217;s not chasing chart hits.<\/p>\n<p>\nJessica also acknowledged that the EP is distinctly different from her previous releases.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe singer &#8211; who recently announced her split from husband Eric Johnson &#8211; explained: &#8220;Making this record wasn\u2019t about having a hit. It was just about having a vibe. There\u2019s really not a lot of that in Los Angeles right now. It\u2019s formulaic. I wanted to break that mould for myself personally. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I don\u2019t care if anything\u2019s a hit. I\u2019m not with a record label. I don\u2019t expect it to even be on the radio. I appreciate that you realise how deeply rooted, in unexpected ways, this project is for me to set myself apart from old versions of myself. It\u2019s not like it\u2019s not me singing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jessica-simpson-recalls-feeling-afraid-1414047.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 February 2025 Jessica Simpson&#8216;s fears &#8220;just diminished&#8221; when she quit drinking.
