Ashlee Simpson is burning up

In an interview by Marian Liu for The Mercury News, Ashlee Simpson briefly mentioned the cover songs she’s going to include in her next tour and how she picked up the artists whose songs she wants to re-create in the live show:

What is the concert going to be like?

It’s going to be a lot of fun. My band just gets out, sweats and plays good music… We do a little segment where we do a few covers.

Which covers?

I wanted to do artists that I looked up to, so we’re doing a Blondie song, the Pretenders and a Madonna song.

Which songs?

Madonna’s “Burning Up,” the Pretenders’ “Brass in Pocket” and Blondie’s “Call Me.”
