Customer Reviews

Great!
Jessica Simpson has changed her style. She is not "as innocent as she used to be". Anyway, the songs are great and I love them. Some of the songs are basic stuff...still a great album!

Very impressive pop album.
So what do you do with an artist that has come full-circle? Jessica Simpson began her career as a second-rate, but vocally impressive clone of Britney Spears. With her first image and album failing to set the charts alight she was put in the `producers' machine and spat out with something even worse- a catchy lead single `Irresistible', but a dire album that sounded like a piece of careless, mass-produced rubbish. Things were not working out for Jessica until she landed a role [the marriage was so short it might as well be called a role] in the MTV produced, `Newlyweds'. During the documentation of her first year of her married life Jessica felt `inspired' and produced an album slightly more personal, lyrically pleasing but nevertheless not up to much. `With You' being her biggest hit from the album, thus securing her biggest album sales. I shall ignore the pointless Christmas album that so many artists bother with, Mariah just about pulled it off, and that's saying something!

`A Public Fair', is possibly the most blatant reference to any artist's private affairs, not something I was that bothered about. Owning all the previous albums listed I felt required to buy this album. I must admit I didn't hold much hope considering what I felt about her previous albums, all which contained very good singles but not much get-up and go. The first single, `A Public Affair' didn't at first grab me like previous first singles from Simpson's albums, but it eventually grew on me, the glossy video did everything to please one gay-guy's heart.
Then something grabbed me. Track two. `You Spin Me Round' a cover of the `Dead or Alive' classic 80's disco stomper. Don't roll your eyes; Jessica has made this her own piece of pop perfection. New lyrics, thumping base and some seriously sultry tones all make this one smashing and desperately needed hit. This just `has' to be the second single for the UK [I Belong to Me] being the second single in the US. Things continue with a good pace, noticeable 80's influenced tracks including `B.O.Y' `If You Were Mine' and `Push Your Tush'. `Fired Up' should also take a noticeable mention as a good contender for a third single.

For all those that need something a little more mellow, take a listen to `Between You and I' and `Walkin' Round In A Circle.' So in conclusion, what do you get? An artist that originally started off with pop, went a little R'n'B, got serious with a third release, and now - has finally come full circle and released a positively happy and very danceable forth album.

Buy it, you will be pleasantly surprised!

Fantastic album.
I'm happy that I did not buy the original version released as I think "I Belong To Me" is a fantastic song and one of the reasons why people should buy this album. If you are a fan of Jessica Simpson, buy this now, don't wait for a UK release as it will probably take longer to be released as the single "A Public Affair" is said not to be released until early 2007!

The best tracks here are:

A Public Affair [the first single, a very fun party track]
You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) [more of a re-make of the Dead or Alive track, as most of the lyrics have been changed apart from the chorus, Jessica makes this track more hot and sexy, it makes you really love this track]
B.O.Y.
The Lover In Me
Fired Up [this is said to be Jessica's Dirrty, very hot track]
Let Him Fly [a very sweet song, makes your eyes water]
I Belong To Me [the second single with very meaningful lyrics]

In This Skin was great but I think this album is more meaningful and with this album she is more in touch with her talent. I already got this for my christmas and I love this album *5 stars*
