Career

Music

edit

On June 11, 2013, she recorded her first single "Why I'm Single".[2] Critics cited the song as "A dub-step infused club banger about being a spinster, the track was an unusual choice for a 15-year-old model".[3][4] The official music video received 7,886,184 million views.[5] On Nov 19, 2013, she released her second single "Notice Me" with an accompanying video in November 2013 which received 11,599,601 million views on YouTube.[6] It was well received by critics citing it as, "a more authentic fit than the crashing electro-breakdowns that littered Why I’m Single".[3]

On May 27, 2014, Simpson released Synthpop track — "Guilty", the song is produced by CJ Baran and Ben Romans.[4] Mike Wass of Idolator gave a positive review of the song saying, "the soft and pretty synth-ballad has a distinct ’80s twist — extra points for the unexpected sax! — and a deceptively catchy chorus. “Guilty” reminds me of Olivia Newton-John circa Xanadu with a splash of Owl City‘s exceedingly polite electronica thrown in for good measure. Oh, and there’s even a random dub-step breakdown in there to shake things up".[4] The singer collaborated with CoverGirl for a video featuring Simpson performing a acapella version of Selena Gomez's "I Want You to Know".[7]
