Teen pop star Lindsay Lohan takes a step away from her Disney-clean image with A LITTLE MORE PERSONAL. Both the cover art, which features a scantily clad Lohan looking seductively over her shoulder, and the album's subtitle, "Raw," indicate that Lohan is growing up and moving out.
Many of the songs here are openly confessional. The album's first single, for example, "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)," addresses the singer's well-publicized family issues, while other tunes, like "I Live for the Day," vent bitterness over romance gone wrong. But there's fun to be had too. PERSONAL is spunky and rock-oriented, and Lohan even lets her inner fan out by covering Stevie Nicks's "Edge of Seventeen" and Cheap Trick's "I Want You To Want Me."
What the critics say...
Entertainment Weekly (p.85) - "[B]eing 19, troubled, and ridiculously famous can cut pretty deep, so props to her for letting us see her bleed -- just a little." -- Grade: B-
