"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!

At the dead heat of Jess,Britney,Avril and others,she could be on top. After I heard her song on the radio, I'm like "I must have this CD!" but M.O.M. says no. But people, this is one thing to shout about!She has what it takes, and YES! She is smarter than you may think, and she's got talent!This CD is great for parties and to just listen to,she just doesn't think before she says something. "With you" is one song you'll want to listen to,that's a bilboard chart song!"Sweetest sin" is also one. I give it 5 stars, listen to it, I have a good feelingg you'll like or even love it!

I love jessica. she has a natural, beautiful voice and is so down to earth. I was hoping her cd would be like her 2nd one, but i understand that she is growing up and needed to get out of the "britney pop"(only w/out britney) type of music. the cd was a little too slow for me, but i love listening to it when im sleepy!so soothing!

1-sweetest sin: pretty song and all, but i don't like the lyrics-thats between her and her hubby!

2-with you: boring- kind of a filler song

3-my way home:ok song

4-i have loved you: my favorite song! so beautiful! i wish this was her next single!

5-forbidden fruit:umm...nice beat...

6-everyday see you:ok...nothing special

7-underneath- my 2nd favorite song!

8-you don't have to let go: no wait, this is my 2nd favorite song!

9-loving you: i could picture this one being on the radio soon.

10-in this skin:nice lyrics. everyone has insecurities and its ok!

11-be:soothing song.

i think this cd is worth the money, because sometimes you just need a nice slow soothing cd!

I think I am confused about all the negative reviews. Is it just that these reviewers bought the CD hoping for some pop -danceable music as normally associated with Jessica and in turn got a mellow CD about love songs? A Jessica hater who just dont like her-like all the other people that ripped up the reviewers of Britney's new CD which is also very good too. Either way - there is alot of talent in this girl. She CAN sing almost all of the new "pop diva's- embarrasingly under any table" and she is also writing quite a bit of her own songs. I think this CD is great. Its a CD about Love, there is no mistaking that, and in some reviewers defense there is no real diversity here- but the songs are well sung, production is good, and they dont seem like cheesy pop. If you want more upbeat type music- stick with Britney. Edgier- go with Christina. I was excited to finally hear Jessica on the radio again and still climbing the charts. The DVD is cute- however it really could have been longer, with more scene's and even a few video's would have been nice. Overall I do think- in my own opinion here, that the CD is great, more grown up and shows some class- which a few certain singers her age completely lack. Go Jessica

I admit that I bought this C.D. after hearing the songs played over and over again on her Newlyweds show. The same became true for her sister Ashlee's C.D. as well.

I think my favorite song on Jessica's "In this Skin" C.D. is "Sweetest Sin". I also liked "With You" and "Angels". I already found myself looking for her videos which I have been purchasing as I come across them. I will definitly be buying the "Newlyweds" video when it is released tommorow on Dec. 14th. I will post a review for that as well.

But one more thing...I was pleasantly surprized when I bought "In this Skin" (Collector's Edition)because it came with a bonus C.D. of her wedding and some footage from Newlyweds.

I hope all her fans enjoy it as much as I have and I hope my review has helped those of you that were curious.
