nostalgia Posted Saturday at 01:18 AM Posted Saturday at 01:18 AM Ashlee Simpson's "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)" from Bittersweet World was seriously ahead of its time. The track was bold, quirky, and unapologetically weird in a way that felt fresh and experimental. It took cues from Gwen Stefani's eccentric pop vibes but pushed them into a more psychological, almost surreal territory. Ashlee dove headfirst into electro-pop before it fully took over, paving the way for artists like Lady Gaga and Ke$ha to dominate the scene a few years later. The song's glitchy beats and offbeat lyrics were dismissed by some back then, but now fans are finally recognizing its brilliance. "Outta My Head" feels like the precursor to the chaotic pop energy that defines so much of today's music. 9 3 2

NoOneDiesFromLove Posted Saturday at 05:05 AM Posted Saturday at 05:05 AM It went 50x diamond on my mp3 player I was obsessed with it on day 1 and it always pissed me off that it wasn't bigger but it definitely was ahead of its time Spoiler just rewatched the video and I forgot she just flies around at the end
JoeAg Posted Saturday at 06:21 AM Posted Saturday at 06:21 AM LOVE THIS CLASSIC I think the biggest influence here is honestly Santigold, who cowrote the song, but yeah undoubtedly there was a road paved for the aforementioned artists as well!
Dark Miracles Posted Saturday at 08:43 AM Posted Saturday at 08:43 AM It may have flopped but Ashele really weaponized unhinged pop here
