Jessica Simpson's "A Public Affair" was her first record after her breakup with Nick Lachey. To date, it's her last pop studio album. I think the album is pretty good, but unfortunately the songs in which she shines the most were never released as singles.
First single "A Public Affair" became her 3rd #14-peaking song. It's a nice song with a fun video:
Fans chose the second and last single, "I Belong To Me". I always thought the cover of "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" would have been a smash...
Other songs I like are "Fired Up," the Janet-sounding "If You Were Mine," and "Walkin' Round In A Circle", which samples "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac.

"If You Were Mine" is great, as well as the title track.
I'm really surprised "I Belong To Me" was chosen as a single. It was originally just a Wal-Mart bonus track, but a few months later they made the track available everywhere. The song is okay (very cheesy) but the video was embarrassing (the faces she made trying to be "emotional" were priceless). She was much better doing camp and fun videos (like "A Public Affair").

I liked "A Public Affair," "If You Were Mine," and "Walkin' Round In A Circle," but the rest of the album was terrible. She's had some good singles, but her albums weren't very good.

I used to give this album an unfair shake when it was first released, but with time it's grown on me tremendously. I'd even argue that from a cohesive front it's her best album as a whole to be frank. "If You Were Mine" especially is a gem and I wished it would've been given a single treatment. Also, as much as people bellyached about her cover of "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" I genuinely love it.

This is by far her best by far.

Agreed, especially the honky tonk one. Irresistible is the only album from her I like the best. The others are just subpar to me. |
