JESSICA SIMPSON'S LEAKY PUBLIC AFFAIR

hey kids! gosh today was busy - i so feel behind here - i'm sorry! tonight i managed to attend a screening of the upcoming film the science of sleep which was AWESOME! can i just say...WOW! director michel gondry strikes gold again - gael garcia bernal was beyond adorable - i simply can't say enough about the film - before i do write more i need to fully gather my thoughts on it all! it put me in such a great mood!


anyways let's get to the topic of tonight...just a few days before the official release of jessica simpson's latest album a public affair (due out aug 29th) and of course ms. simpson leaked all over the net...i had a pretty decent listen last night and jotted down some quick notes - the album is exactly what you would expect from jessica - it's choppy & uneven - over produced - and really dorky - but there are a couple of not so bad tracks but overall her public affair is quite a lackluster one...

UPDATE now you can stream the entire album and see what you think - head over to AOL music...

1 - A Public Affair although the video completely sucked - i admit to this being a full-on guilty pleasure! not the song of summer '06 but it for sure stood out 2 - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) not good - not good - not good! she should have left well enough alone - horrid & awful cover - it might as well be a machine laying down the vocals on this track - so robotic and a total bore! pete burns must hate this shit! 3 - B.O.Y. since her sister ashlee had a hit w/ the song L.O.V.E. - jessica also wanted to get in on the whole acronym thing too and this track includes some recycled sounds from the cars... 4 - If You Were Mine ok...this has like a vintage janet jackson vibe - i can't place my finger on it yet...actually it's not janet it's nu shooz with their 1986 hit 'i can't wait' - i must have played the beginning a 1000x and i finally figured out the rip-off factor in this track! but there is a hint of janet as well as whitney houston 5 - Walkin' 'Round In A Circle total stevie nicks rip-off vibe - it so is color me 'dreams' - at first i was like is this a fleetwood mac cover? nope just more of jessica 'borrowing' 6 - The Lover In Me one of the better tracks - breathy & ballady - with some nice gospel type choir back-up 7 - Swing With Me her christina aguilera 'back to basics' rip-off - a toss back to 'swing' - it will so show up on 'dancing with the stars' but she gets points for using the word 'shimmy' a favorite of mine 8 - Push Your Tush the worst - she got stuck on the hoedown (she even uses that word) vibe from 'dukes of hazzard' - she rings a dinner bell and even crows cock-a-doodle-doo - this is her biggest dork out on the entire album - the title alone is complete dorkdom 9 - Back To You hmmmm....back to you? back to who? not a bad slow song - i just wonder who she is talking about...it actually turns out she is supposedly singing about her high school sweetheart...lame 10 - Between You & I oh this track starts off like 'unchained melody'...one of my least favorite songs ever - lordy there are so many recycled sounds on this album - and nothing flows 11 - I Don't Want To Care ok if forced to pick a favorite (at gunpoint) i guess i would pick this one... 12 - Fired Up she tries sadly to get her urban grill & groove on - bad mistake - i believe scott storch produced this one - calling it jessica's 'dirrty' track - which makes him the overstater of the year - this track sucks my ass! 13 - Let Him Fly a cover of a patty griffin song - i can't believe jessica even knows who she is - ms. griffin rocks - i love her album 'flaming red' - i guess ms. simpson tried to gain a little cred by including this cover...and it's apparently nick lachey inspired - i bet she wishes she didn't tell him to fly away... 14 - I Belong To Me (Bonus Track) this was voted by fans to be the second single off the album - jessica proclaims her freedom and who she really belongs to - herself and in the end she can keep herself and this album - not the worst but far from being worthy...

there you have it - many thanks to ali for the simpson listen! below are the two covers that have been floating around - the album is being released with the one on the left with her boobies covered up...her indecisions on the image are totally reflected in album - it basically should've been called a messy affair! popbytes over & out for tonight - thank heavens tomorrow is friday - xxoo!
