Ashlee Simpson stans, your prayers for new music have been answered! US Weekly has, indeed, confirmed that the former princess of early-2000’s rock-pop is making a much anticipated return to music in 2017!

There is one slight catch, but hear us out. Simpson confirmed that a new album set for release sometime next year will be a joint-album with her husband Evan Ross. She described the sound as “soulful, fun, and reflective of the music that [we] both like." But alas there's more...

She went on to confirm that a solo album is in the not-so-distant future. “We’re doing this album together and then we’ll go off and do our own,” she said.  

See! We told you 2017 would be better than 2016! Let the queen reign once again!
