Per a release, the documentary will be “unlike anything she has done before” and will chronicle her long-awaited return to music in more than a decade.

“It’s like a retreat for me. I get to just crawl up inside my head and embrace my heart,” Simpson said of creating music from Tennessee at the time. “I feel so enlightened there.”

“Writing music has become a beautiful therapeutic thing for me that I didn’t know was so natural, but it’s because I haven’t done it in so long,” she told the outlet.
