Jessica Simpson Churns Out Bland, Quality-Deprived Album

After attending the launch of Jessica Simpson’s new album ‘A Public Affair’ at Roxy Roller Disco in New York City last night, Roger Friedman of FoxNews.com weighed in on the singer’s latest effort. “Jessica’s quality-deprived album includes, believe it or not, a cover of the famed disco-New Wave Europop single of the mid ’80s, ‘You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)’,” he writes. “It’s about as personality-free as the rest of Simpson’s bland pop bleating. What is it with this girl? Blondes do not have to be this void of gravitas. Dusty Springfield, Debbie Harry and Marianne Faithfull all made it hip and serious to be blonde. But Simpson really does feel like a bit of a cipher, and ‘Public Affair’ doesn’t do anything to change the feeling that she probably doesn’t know fish from fowl.” Read more.
