Jessica Simpson - Do You Know
September 16th 2008 06:45
Jessica Simpson has returned to her 'roots' for her latest album, "Do You Know", a country album inspired by the country music she was brought up listening to. Simpson's sixth overall studio album and the first since the disastrous "A Public Affair" album of 2006, Do You Know was recorded in Nashville and features collaborations with legendary country music artist Dolly Parton and songwriter Hillary Lindsey of Carrie Underwood fame.
Released in Australia on September 13, 2008 and a couple of days earlier in her homeland, the album received largely mixed reviews with most critics giving her the thumbs down in her first effort in an attempt to crossover to country music. Slant Magazine give the album just 1 and a half (out of five ) stars for Simpson's "limitations as a vocalist" and "A-list profile and C-list credentials" while the New York Post were a lot more generous, awarding the album 3 out of 4 stars because "for the first time in her career she's created an album where she consistently shows off her full-bodied voice with solid, yet simple tunes that don't overthink the music."
A commendable debut crossover country debut effort or stick with pop and give us another round of A Public Affair? You decide.
