Jamie O'Neal's debut album is country only in the broadest sense of the word. Sure, she recorded it in Nashville, assisted by a bunch of country session vets, and the album includes a duet with country heartthrob Mark Wills. Beyond those facts and an underlying twang in her voice, though, O'Neal's music is closer to mainstream pop than anything else. From the '80s-sounding synths and sax solo on "No More Protecting My Heart" to the programmed, hip-hop-inflected rhythms on "There is no Arizona," O'Neal seems to be on par with the likes of Shelby Lynne, a singer with a country pedigree whose ambitions lie elsewhere. That said, there's enough steel-guitar-laced balladry to keep the country audience satisfied even as their ears are tweaked by the pop flavor of the production.
