Jessica Simpson Stuns with Unreleased Tracks 'Breadcrumbs' and 'Blame Me' in Her Triumphant Return to Music
Jessica Simpson is officially back in the spotlight, making a highly anticipated return to the stage after a 15-year hiatus.
The “With You” singer delivered her first live performance in over a decade on Wednesday at SXSW’s Recording Academy Austin Chapter Block Party, marking a major comeback in her music career.
Following the emotional performance, Simpson took to Instagram to reflect on the powerful moment.
“Last night was my first performance in 15 years,” she wrote. “It was an emotional coming back home to the best part of myself. Thank you for embracing me. You know that I have so much to say, but this lucky voice gets to soar again tonight.”
During her set, Simpson treated fans to two brand-new singles, **"Use My Heart Against Me"** and **"Leave,"** ahead of her upcoming EP, *Nashville Canyon Pt. 1*, which drops on March 21. She also debuted two unreleased tracks, **"Breadcrumbs"** and **"Blame Me,"** alongside stunning covers of **Dusty Springfield’s "Son of a Preacher Man"** and **Nancy Sinatra’s "These Boots Are Made for Walkin’."**
Addressing the crowd, Simpson got candid about her long absence from the music industry.
“I needed to remember who I was and why I wanted to sing in the first place,” she admitted. “And I needed to forget who they told me to be.”
Since her last public performance at the 2010 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting, Simpson has successfully built a billion-dollar fashion empire, penned a bestselling memoir, and devoted herself to raising three children with husband **Eric Johnson**. Now, she’s ready to return to her first love—music.
In a recent interview with *People* magazine, Simpson revealed that her daughter played a key role in reigniting her passion for performing.
“My daughter led me back to Nashville,”** she shared. **“Her wanting to see the light showed me the light.”
With her powerful voice, heartfelt lyrics, and undeniable star power, Jessica Simpson is proving that a true artist never fades—they only evolve. Fans eagerly await the official release of *Nashville Canyon Pt. 1* and the next chapter of her remarkable career.
