I was honestly just saying earlier today, the only thing that could save this year from being the worst thing ever would be new Ashlee Simpson music. Well, heaven must be listening, because she's baaaaack!

It’s been eight years since Ashlee released her last album, Bittersweet World, but she says there will soon be more. Speaking to Us Weekly at an event for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Ashlee said she's been working on new music with her husband of two years, Evan Ross. “We’re working on an album together. So in the new year, that will be happening! It’s been really fun to work together.”

Yes!!!

Ashlee describes the new music as “soulful, fun and reflective of music that [we] both like,” and also added that she's also gonna do her own stuff, too. “We’re doing this album together and then we’ll go off and do our own,” she said.

It keeps getting better and better. I might be crying.

And don't worry about another baby getting in the way! For now, the couple — who have an adorable two-year-old daughter together, as well as Bronx, Ashlee's adorable eight-year-old son from her relationship with Pete Wentz — is concentrating on their music.

“We’re doing this – before the next baby!” Explained Evan, "I want a ton [of kids]! I think I want more than she does! I grew up with five kids in my family, and that was great."

Yes, have all the kids! But first: at least another five albums.
