Jesse McCartney - Departure (2008)

On 1st listen I thought this album was too much of a Departure for Jesse but after a few listens the songs began to grow on me especially It's Over and How Do You Sleep which at 1st irritated me.



The only song I really don't get is Rock You. It's a bit too different for me and I just become more annoyed by it everytime I hear it.



Now lead single Leavin' is good but not the best on the album & believe me that's a good thing. All in all it's a very R&B influenced album, with electro beats scattered throughout.



My favourite tracks are: Leavin', It's Over, How Do You Sleep, My Baby & Runnin'.



Here's how I rate each track:



1. Leavin' 10/10

2. It's Over 10/10

3. Rock You 5/10

4. How Do You Sleep 9/10

5. Into Ya 7/10

6. Make Up 8/10

7. My Baby 10/10

8. Told You So 7/10

9. Relapse 8/10

10. Runnin' 9/10

11. Freaky 7/10

12. Not Your Enemy 7/10



If you don't like this at 1st give it a few more listens
