 Title - ‘Bare Naked’ (Jive)
Artist - Jennifer Love Hewitt
Jennifer Love Hewitt does not seem to be able to find musical success, but she definitely deserves it. This album is far superior to many albums on the charts today. The entire album is a collaboration with singer/songwriter Meredith Brooks. Songs range in style and genre, but highlight an alternative pop sound. The album's title track is an easily relatable and catchy song about being insecure at times. It essentially lays the blueprint for the rest of the record. Jennifer gets personal talking about break-ups ("Can I Go Now"), romance ("You"), and trying to make it in Hollywood ("Avenue of the Stars"). My personal favorite is "First Time", which blends rock and pop seamlessly and truly compliments Jennifer's voice. Although this album is really good, I must admit it has some flaws as a vast amount of lyrics are a little cheesy and Jennifer's voice doesn't blend well with some of the more poignant material. So, in conclusion, although Jennifer Love Hewitt is overall an actress in people's eyes, Bare Naked should prove to at least give people a different point of view in which to judge her now. Most people have already dissed this album and perhaps without even listening to it. These 12 tracks of pure, soft rock are actually, very good and enjoyable – even in the cold light of a Wintery day !
