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
