1st Mini Album: With Love, J [Import Disc]

With a western like bouncy beat and subtle synths, With Love, J begins with title track Fly. The drums really play a role during the chorus, giving it a bit of an indie inspired sound while keeping the main beat pop dance. The slight piano also adds giving it a classic sound rounding it all out. There is also a rap part, which goes along with the song and the overall meaning of it. Big Mini World starts with a strong heavy bass beat and rhythm clapping. Jessica's soft voice enters along with a piano giving it a faux ballad like sound. Once it hits the pre-chorus, that's when the pop comes in giving it a pop ballad sound and then when it goes to the chorus it goes on full pop while keeping the bass it's main rhythm. The chorus part is where it is more addictive and makes a good inspiration type of song. It also gives me a bit of 90s vibe with the beat and melody. Jessica also focuses on her lower register during the verses, which is a nice break from hearing her more higher pitch. Starting with a piano and some synths, Falling Crazy In Love goes toward the pop ballad, giving Jessica a more powerful like sound. The drums, guitar and some slight dance effects come in during the chorus, giving it a 90s power ballad like sound which fits her voice very nicely. Jessica adds her infamous ad libs which makes the song more rounded out as it closes off with a nice wind chime effect. Love Me the Same is slow but upbeat ballad song. It definitely suits Jessica well as she was able to portray her emotions and lets one drown in the sweetness of her voice. Golden Sky is exactly what I mean when I talk about ballads being done right. It is simple and elegant. A song to lose yourself in. Dear Diary is a sweetly sung, fluffy piece with a bit of a smooth jazz influence that is perfect to relax to. Jessica portrays a lot of emotions when she sings especially with this album because she put so much hard work into it, that it shows.

It's a great album, with a range of genre and lyrics by Jessica. Personal favorite is Golden Sky a song written by Jessica for her fans. The package is gorgeous. It's a hard cardbox case, inside is the full color photobook with a lot of pictures and the CD is well protected. The album is really made with love and it's totally worth it.
