I have the expanded version of Jessica's "In This Skin" album. The reason I bought this single was for the unreleased track "Fly". In my opinion, it wasn't really worth it. "Fly" sounds sort of like a cross between the song "Everyday See You" (from "In This Skin") and early Mandy Moore songs from her "So Real" album. So, if you like that particular song or album, you'll love "Fly". But if you don't like your pop music to sound overly cheesy, pass on this single!
There is just something about Jessica Simpson's voice. It's infectious and highly enjoyable. Jessica Simpson's rendering of Take my Breath Away is sweeter and more melodious than Berlin's. The music is pleasing on the ears, unlike the harsher tones of the latter's. Jessica Simpson retains her passion while singing, without compromising on her dulcet notes. She sings the high notes with immense talent.
Fly is also a good track, but the song that is obviously this composition's highlight is Take my Breath Away.
I do not really care for the original version of "Take My Breath Away". But, I absolutely love this one. Jessica Simpson has a really unique vocal range & that becomes obvious in this track. The lyrics are tender & sweet & just very touching. It's so funny because I've grown into this song just as I had to grow into Simpson's "Angels" & "With You". It seems to me as if the words to Jessica's songs on her latest album are more mature & are more of who she is. I've also learned that her music from "In This Skin", as a whole, is more mature than the instruments/sounds from her "Irresistible" CD. And growth/difference coming from a follow-up CD is an amazing thing to me.
I gave this CD single three stars (which indicates decant work). I'm not feeling the song "Fly". But its tune is good.
This song is like my all-time favorite! The good thing is that this song is close to the original, but it could never take the feeling I had for Berlin's song. The sounds and the background just simply takes my breath away.
I can listen to Jessica sing this song over and over. She has a wonderful voice and is absolutely beautiful!
Her talent is endless.
