While Willa Ford has built a career as an interior designer, she’s returning to her musical roots decades later.
By next January, fans will have new Willa Ford music — and, as she told ET, “Be ready to dance!”
The singer, who rose to fame with her hit 2001 debut single, “I Wanna Be Bad,” confirmed to ET’s Deidre Behar that she’s returning to music 20 years after she last put out a track.
“Honestly, I didn’t really know if I’d ever put out the record,” she said. “I just knew I wanted to write and try to articulate things happening in my life and process some of what I’d been through.”
Ford has previously explained that she walked away from the industry in the early aughts after the ill-fated release of her second single on September 11th followed by ownership shakeups at her record company. Her last single, “Sexy Sex Obsessive,” came out in 2004. She later pursued acting and competed on Dancing With the Stars in 2006.
