5.0 out of 5 stars Jessica Simpson's Defining Album, August 20, 2003

This review is from: In This Skin (Audio CD)

"In This Skin" is Jessica's album! She wrote 9 of the 11 songs on it, and they are all from the heart. Jessica has continued to mature with each album, but this one show exactly how far she's come. She shows just what her beautiful voice is capable of, and every single song is sung with tremendous emotion. She found her own sound and voice, and unlike many artists today, did not produce a "trendy" sounding CD.

Song by song:

1)SWEETEST SIN (9.5/10): The first single off the album, and it is sexy and smoldering. Jessica's breathy vocals create very intense mental images.

2)WITH YOU (9/10): This song is a light, upbeat song talking about how being truly loved for who you are is the most liberating thing in the world.

3)MY WAY HOME (9/10): This song has a great downbeat and slinkyness to it. The melody is very enticing.

4)I HAVE LOVED YOU (10/10): I love this song--the melody, the vocals, it's just a beautiful song that was made for Jessica's voice.

5)FORBIDDEN FRUIT (8.5/10): Probably the most "pop-y" song, but kind of has an old school Paula Abdul vibe, not trying too hard to be hip. You can get into the beat of this one!

6)EVERYDAY SEE YOU (9/10): A sweet, beautiful song that makes you forget all your problems and just relax for 3 minutes. Very soothing

7)UNDERNEATH (9.5/10): A wonderful, powerful song that describes love at it's most passionate, and every bit of that passion flows through Jessica's voice.

8)YOU DON'T HAVE TO LET GO (11/10!!): The best song on the album. Jessica wrote this song for her father, and it is the most touching, poignant, amazing song I've heard in a long time. It actually brought tears to my eyes. It shows what an amazing person she is to have this much gratitude towards her father for making her the person she is today. Her voice is spectacular here. If this song doesn't at least give you chills, then I give up!

9)LOVING YOU (9.5/10): My favorite up-tempo song on the album. Has a great groove. Another incredibly sexy and sultry song.

10)IN THIS SKIN (10/10): This is probably the most revealing song on the album. Jessica tells about her insecurities, but it is very motivating in that it emphasizes being comfortable with yourself. A very touching and uplifting song.

11)BE (10/10): The best "love" song in my opinion, on the CD. It talks about hope and happiness and what love really feels like.

Jessica bares her soul and we see her vulnerabilities and her passion for life, love and family. She has truly found the "skin" she is comfortable in!

Her voice is not materialized. She's got a smooth voice than any guy would kill to be sung to with. I've been a fan since she first hit the music scene. Jessica is one of the best musical talents out there, and she deserves every bit of fame she has. I can't wait for the next one.
