Jessica Simpson's third album is a pleasing collection of soft-ish pop, projecting the same squeaky-clean sexuality of her first two releases, with nods in the direction of hip-hop and Madonna-style dance music. With titles such as "Sweetest Sin" and "Forbidden Fruit," it's a fair bet that Simpson has put her past as a poster girl for Christian music behind her--here she comes across like a more mature Britney. Simpson's at her best on songs like "Loving You," which imaginatively combines a hip-hop beat with a banjo sample in a spare, sexy arrangement that enhances her breathy vocals, while the country-tinged title track is an affecting appeal to be seen for what she is, not what she appears to be. IN THIS SKIN won't disappoint longtime Simpson-lovers and has more than enough broad pop appeal to guarantee her a host of new admirers.
