A Public Affair

Jessica Simpson

A shimmering pivot toward 80s-inspired dance-pop and disco. It trades heavy power ballads for breezy, liberated grooves and a newfound sense of independence.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'I'm doing fine without you' disco-pop record.

A sun-drenched, resilient celebration of independence and the joy of starting over.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The breezy, handclapping breakdown in the title track that feels like a literal exhale of relief.
The unexpected vulnerability of the Patty Griffin cover 'Let Him Fly' closing the record on a stark, acoustic note.
The shimmering synth-pop pulse of 'If You Were Mine' that perfectly captures the mid-2000s obsession with 80s textures.
