Rich from WeLoveAshlee.com met Ash yesterday and has some information on her album:

What Ashlee REALLY has to say about her new album

“I saw Ashlee today in NYV and asked her about the CD and what she meant by folky. She said folky was taken out of context and that the album is NOT going to be like that. She said she has been working with indie writers and really working on the writing. Its gonna be mature bc she grown up and so have we and we know what to expect from her. I asked: Like Fiona Jewel or Alanis? and she said yeah, and that shes been listening to stuff like Florence and The Machine as well so those should be big things for hear in her record. I asked if she was working wiht John again she stammered alot and said maybe. She seems really really excited about the CD and wants to get it out for the fans. I didn’t ask if anything was recorded yet bc she kept saying over and over its being written right now. She said its going to be upbeat and fun of course and that she cant just stand there like how a “folk” singer would. She also told me to post this on the internet somewhere for her fans and i figured this was the best place. Whoever runs this webstie now, put this on the main page everyone deserves to know the truth bc it seems in my opinion were getting a sequel to Autobiography and that this CD is going to be amazing and she deserves a shot without someone twisting it around what her sound really is gonna be.
