Jessica's team haven't had a knack for picking the right song but she could possibly clear that hurdle if she showed some sign of life as a vocalist, but she's unfailingly listless no matter how many theatrical gestures she attempts to cram in her big boring ballads.
-
Despite detractors, Simpson remains a gifted vocalist who delivers on most every cut.
-
While it's nice to hear her pipes free of breathless pop production, it's a shame she ran with such bland, emotionally self-indulgent material for this crossover Do You Know.
-
These songs are fine, if unexciting, vehicles for her voice.
-
The pleasant surprise here is that she's co-written several songs that do indeed probe beneath the cover-girl, tabloid-ready surface of her life.
-
While she begs for a booty call on the twangy single 'Come on Over,' she leaves the real seduction to her restrained delivery and the album's crisp melodies.
-
Curiosity and whatever remains of her pop fanbase will likely give Do You Know a strong start, but it's hard to imagine that it will sustain any momentum or help Simpson build a reputation as a credible artist in Nashville.
-
Ms. Simpson has a strong voice, but it has little nuance, rendering her exercises in self-empowerment particularly banal.
