Little Mermaid
from: Walt Disney Records
: essential recording:Before Broadway was Disneyfied and Times Square became a mall, the best Broadway musicals were being written for Disney animated features by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman. Their songs for The Little Mermaid created the mold from which their even more popular work (Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin) would be cast. Almost every tune in Mermaid has its (slightly inferior) counterpart in Beauty, for example. But there's no topping the Oscar-winning calypso show-stopper, 'Under the Sea'--in which a Caribbean crab convinces you that 'Darlin' it's better/Down where it's wetter.' ...

Rejoyce: The Christmas Album
: :Not only does Jessica Simpson know how to light up a room (and a TV series, various awards shows, and a flurry of magazine covers), she's also got a gift for warming up rooms. If you have yet to feel the heat, look no further than Re-Joyce, on which things get roasty-toasty in the space of a few tracks. Simpson's is a crooning style that's carol-ready--she toboggans her way through opener 'Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow' effortlessly enough to make us wish we were riding shotgun; vamps it up ...

A Public Affair
: :A Public Affair is a disco-studded, stunningly entertaining, 13-song slab of energetic white-girl pop. From the summer-fizzy first song and title track--which lifts, improbably, from both Madonna and the Supremes--Simpson tears out of the gate refusing to fall back on stale-sounding power ballads, something of a signature in the past. 'You Spin Me Round' updates the Dead or Alive '80s hit; the vampy and innovative 'B.O.Y.' borrows from a vintage Cars track; and 'Walkin' 'Round in a Circle,' about as sleepy a track as you'll find here, seems to put a kind of ...

Irresistible
: :That Jessica Simpson has been groomed to become the next (as well as younger, whiter, and more virginal) Mariah Carey should come as no great shock. Production by slavish imitation is the way it goes these days, and wanting to duplicate Carey's success is understandable. Yet the downside of idol worship (Simpson grew up with the octave-conquering diva as a touchstone) is the loss of unique identity, and sadly that's exactly what has occurred. From the wordless sighs to the mock Spanish guitars added for international appeal, to the overwrought power ballads and ...
