After premiering the song back in November, Ashlee Simpson, the younger sister of singer/actress Jessica Simpson, is getting back into the groove and finally premiered the full new dreamy music video for her comeback buzz single, "Bat For A Heart," which marks the 28-year-old "Pieces of Me" crooner's first venture back into music and return to recording since releasing her third album, "Bittersweet World" back in 2008.
After a few years away from the spotlight, Ashlee has decided to give showbiz another shot. She'll do so through the music business, where she has enjoyed some success with pop music in the past. If you've been keeping tabs, her upcoming fourth studio album is supposed to have a sort of "folksy" appeal. With some of the tracks already completed, saying that the new album will have a "folk feel" and that "the sound is a little soulful, a little electronic." Although her first single "Bat for a Heart," is lacking in the folk department, there's plenty of appeal in the sex department.
After a few years away from the spotlight, Ashlee has decided to give showbiz another shot. She'll do so through the music business, where she has enjoyed some success with pop music in the past.

With some of the tracks already completed, saying that the new album will have a "folk feel" and that "the sound is a little soulful, a little electronic." Although her first single "Bat for a Heart," is lacking in the folk department, there's plenty of appeal in the sex department.
"Bat for a Heart" opens with a piano lightly playing over a steady drum machine, and then becomes an electro-pop affair when synthesizers flickering like a neon sign and police car sirens kick in. Ashlee describes feeling jilted by a lover that this song is probably about her split with Pete Wentz and on her last CD she was *gasp* with Wentz. It's alright, but nothing too noteworthy besides the fact that it marks Ashlee's return. Some will like it and some will probably wonder "where's the energy?"
Not only does Ashlee look edgier in this new music video but she also sounds different from her previous work. Filmed in grainy night vision, the silly posturing and black-and-white clip, featuring footage of Ashlee rolling around with her sensually climb all over a couch in a nightgown, recording, doing sexy ballerina tricks and some explicit lyrics, shows Ashlee donning platinum blonde hair and a bit of an edge locks. She puts on make-up then wears a mask over her eyes as she stares at herself in the mirror before dancing on tiptoes in her underwear in front of a padded wall.
