Jessica Simpson - "In This Skin"
by Stephanie L., Hull, MA


If you only thought you could get a close look into the life of pop star Jessica Simpson by watching her and her husband, Nick Lachey, on their hit series "Newlyweds," then you obviously have not listened to her latest album, "In This Skin."

This eleven-track CD truly brings everything from her heart and lovingly sends it to us. With the opportunity to co-write the album, Jessica feels that she has created something that truthfully conveys the person she has become. She states, "I feel stronger, more alive and more refreshed after writing and recording my own thoughts."

Although many of the songs here are about the love between her and her husband, each contains lyrics that all young wo-men can relate to. Whether struggling with self-esteem or falling in love, Jessica makes sure to include everything that she has felt.

In her second single, "With You" (which she wrote for Nick), she sings, "I've never felt so beautiful, baby, as I do now that I'm with you." She also wrote a song for her father, "You Don't Have To Let Go," to thank him for all his love and hard work.

The title track, "In This Skin," is a song she wants fans to listen to and sing with her. Jessica says, "We are all worthy to feel beautiful and comfortable in our bodies."

"In This Skin" accentuates Jessica's beautiful voice with remarkable ballads, as well as fun, up-beat tunes. This Texas native has evolved from an innocent girl next door who released "Sweet Kisses" in 1999 to a stunning, mature songwriter/TV star/wife who is taking the world by storm with her passion.

If you have not heard this release, I strongly recommend you take the time to listen to each track because "In This Skin" is truthfully an album like no other.

Haven't really listened to this album but her rendition of Take My Breath Away on the collectors edition was deplorable.

It's been getting pretty good reviews so far. I'm not a Simpson fan, but I know that Take My Breath Away is super hot and well received, for the most part.

Good for her I guess.

Ewww. 'Take My Breath Away' was a terrible cover! She should stick to her own material.
Anyways, 'With You' was alright, until the radio and video killed it. I suppose we're all on a Jessica Simpson overload, she's everywhere, I suppose you could say even though she's been around for what? 3-4 years, her fame didn't hit until now.

Yeah she missed that song up bad.. Sing it like a white rock girl. Leave the soul and RB out.

Her album sales have bombed because they have changed the way she is signing, instead of that rich sexy powerful voice she used to use (like ion her hit debut song: I wanna love you forever) they are having her sing in this gawd awful breathy faint singing voice which just plain sucks, sounds to much like Brittany. All airy and no depth to her new "style" of singing.

if she would get back to singing like she did on her first album/ Debut song, she would still be selling extremely well, this young woman is gifted by god and she is letting the studio manipulate her career and singing style: that or she really is that stupid and has no idea.
