Jessica Simpson recently shared an unusual vocal tip, revealing that her vocal coach once advised her to drink a honey-based remedy containing snake sperm to improve her singing voice.

In a March 28 Instagram video, the singer and fashion mogul, 44, recalled the moment she discovered the unexpected ingredient. “They’re like, ‘What are you drinking?’” she said. “It’s, like, this Chinese herb thing … My vocal coach told me to drink it.” After her friends looked up the ingredients, she realized snake sperm was listed. “If you want a good vocal, you gotta drink snake sperm!” she joked.

Simpson’s post, captioned “🎤🐍🧪”, comes as she promotes her first record in 15 years, an EP titled Nashville Canyon, Part 1. She described the project as a deeply personal reflection on her journey, free from industry expectations. “God told me I needed to feel the fear and do it anyway,” she wrote in a recent Instagram post.

The EP, according to Simpson, is a response to the end of her marriage to former NFL player Eric Johnson, with whom she shares three children. She confirmed their separation in January after a decade together but emphasized their commitment to co-parenting.

During a March performance at the Luck Reunion in Texas, Simpson spoke about writing Nashville Canyon while navigating emotional upheaval. “I found out my world had been turned upside down,” she said, explaining how the songwriting process helped her process heartbreak and rediscover herself.
