This track was perhaps not as well received because of the inevitable comparisons with the original version - essentially unavoidable when covering such a recent hit. Excluding such comparisons and standing alone, this version of ' Angels ' is an attractive Pop song. A timid, mellow four minutes, fundamentally quite similar to the original, which is potentially the most significant drawback.
This is a likeable track with Simpson's vocals imposing her own character on the song, and the fact that it wasn't written by her or anyone she's ever sung with has no bearing on its assessment.
The lead-single With You is arguably Simpson's most successful single to date and confirmed her re-emergence on the Pop scene abandoned by former adversaries Spears and Aguilera , who largely overshadowed her first two albums whether they are any good or not I'm not actually sure [the albums]. Again the lyrics are generic and unimaginative but really, what does one expect when listening to a Jessica Simpson album? Another cover comes up next, as one of the songs included exclusively for this album is Take My Breath Away , originally by Berlin.
Perhaps a little uninspired, the hook is predictably catchy with Simpson's voice again leading the track. My Way Home just doesn't fit on this album, at least not directly after the opening of three of the singles. Simpson seems to use this track for little more than vocal gymnastics at times and it essentially feels confused and disorganised. The album would have been better off without this track. Simpson perhaps somewhat deceptively and ambiguously sings about abstaining from sex with lyrics synonymous with Forbbiden Fruit.
In truth this track is tolerable, even though it does introduce the weak section of the album. Underneath unmistakably reminds me of Three Doors Down 's Here Without You , from the vocal lines to the piano part to the harmonies.
If anything In This Skin certainly takes its influences from a diverse range of Pop artists. This track sounds like earlier Mariah Carey , particularly on the bridge, and I guess that this is an understandable comparison. Whatever it is, it's a welcome change of tempo and break from the sugary Pop of the first-half of the album.
The mood of the album takes a distinctly sultry turn with the slow, dance-influenced Loving You. The lyrics reach new depths of mundane and despite this track having the potential to be a successful, likeable dance track, it's culminates in a terribly repetitive attempt at music best left to J-Lo. Simpson still seems somewhat caught in the sound which spawned her career, that of the 'bubble-gum' Pop of the late 90s. While at times In This Skin shows signs of development and some variety, perhaps it will take a complete overhaul of her direction and production to produce a truly memorable contemporary Pop album.
If she has that in her, though, is another question. The way I see it is that Jessica Simpson is undeniably a talented singer on the cusp of becoming a superstar but her music's not quite there yet. Although the singles are generally strong Pop songs, In This Skin Collector's Edition is not 52 minutes of solid, consistently likeable music. This could use a lot less sugar and a lot more diversity.

The first news about the third studio album by Jessica began circulating in late about a year after the release of her then latest studio album " Irresistible.
In an interview with MTV in October of , Nick Lachey her then-husband revealed that Jessica was back in the studio, working on a new album. Jessica's a great writer, and she's really doing her songwriting from the hear. All live instruments and it's very musical. Later on, other producers signed on to contribute to Simpsons album, among those included Billy Mann known for working with Ricky Martin, Backstreet Boys, Cher and Celine Dion another producer confirmed at this meeting was Rob Fusari who like the other producers worked with Jessica on her first album.
In January of in an interview at the American Music Awards , Andy Marvel revealed he was writing several songs for her album. Another song from the album "Angels" was a tough session for Jessica because she had to do both songs in a day, but Nick helped her get in the right mood by keeping his hand in her back pocket and " being right there " during the recording session.
