 In This Skin Fails Miserably January 22, 2004
18 out of 33 found this review helpful
Jessica Simpson is no musical genius, and neither is she a pop culture smarty. To be painfully clear, Simpson is just a pretty face who can probably shift a couple of CDs. She came out during the pop influx, with hordes of other hopefuls such as Mandy Moore, who reallocated into the movie business in hopes of establishing a more solid career, and Willa Ford, who is probably flipping burgers right now.
Even Simpson, armed with her unequivocal beauty and reasonable voice, could not touch Britney Spears and her knack for carving out solid dance beats or Christina Aguilera's incomparable voice and lyrical prowess. Instead, Simpson milked her relationship with Nick Lachey from the boy band 98 Degrees. They made their wedding into an MTV Special and Simpson released a book between albums entitled "Jessica Simpson I Do: Achieving Your Dream Wedding." As if that wasn't cheesy enough, Lachey appears in the video for "Sweetest Sin" - the lead single off of Simpson's latest In This Skin.
The Sony moguls behind Simpson's career have tried to make her the next Mariah Carey, as she once stated she would be a good replacement, since Carey has wandered into different genres. Moreover, the guy behind Simpson is none other than Carey's ex-husband, Tommy Mottola. They have managed to cater to the same audience with hits like "I Think I Am in Love" and "I Wanna Love You Forever." However, what Mottola forgot is that Simpson does not even come close to Mariah's talent and her vocal abilities are laughable in comparison. Therefore, Simpson's second album, Irresistible, tried to step into Britney-territory but failed, garnishing just one hit, "Irresistible," and a song that was only semi-popular because it was used in the Bally's gym commercial, "A Little Bit."
In This Skin demonstrates Simpson is stuck between a rock and a hard place, delivering the blandest of over-produced ballads in hopes of carving a niche in the ailing adult contemporary department.
Most of the songs on this release start out very promising, but end up sticklers to the radio-ballad template. Songs such as "My Way Home," "Underneath" and "You Don't Have to Let Go" all do so. The one up-tempo track, "Forbidden Fruit," is painfully ordinary.
The title track has a definite melody, but it is drowned by the over-sugaring of the lyrics.
Other tracks, such as "Be" and "Loving You" are definite points that prove the people at work on this release would like to deliver the album in time for people not to forget Simpson, rather than an effort to release a well-rounded album.
 Two thumbs up! October 7, 2003

Jessica Simpsons Defining Album "In This Skin" is Jessicas 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 shes 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. Jessicas 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, its just a beautiful song that was made for Jessicas 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 its most passionate, and every bit of that passion flows through Jessicas voice. 8)YOU DONT 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 Ive 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 doesnt 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!
