Ashlee Simpson’s forthcoming album has apparently been pushed back yet again, after being moved from last November. Apparently her label’s latest strategy involves repackaging the Missing Persons homage “Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)”–which sank like a stone after its initial release Dec. 11–as the lead song for a three-track EP that drops Feb. 5. Said EP is going to include a “hidden gem” from Ashlee’s last album, and if that isn’t music-business code for “we have no idea what the hell we’re going to do with the songs she’s turned in so far” then I don’t know what is.
