## Description

"The record is called Departure for a number of reasons," says Jesse McCartney, whose multi-platinum 2004 debut album Beautiful Soul launched his career as an international singing star. "There have been departures in my career, in my personal life. I've learned a lot since doing my first couple of records. I think I've landed in the most comfortable place I've ever been musically as the style of music, my vocals and the lyrical content of the songs on this album. I co-wrote several songs on the new album, and learned a lot from the producers I worked with. In the process of writing for my own project, I wound up writing "Bleeding Love" with Ryan Tedder for Leona Lewis. Departure has a little more of mature sound than what my fans previously heard from me but this is the road that I'm on right now and it's the road that I believe they'll join with me!" With star writers and hit making producers such as Sean Garrett (Usher, Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, Pussycat Dolls, Chris Brown), Tricky & The-Dream (Rihanna, Mariah Carey), J.R. Rotem (Britney Spears, Sean Kingston, 50 Cent, Rihanna) and The Clutch (Omarion, Timbaland, Ciara, Bobby Valentino), Departure has an edgier pop/urban sound than Beautiful Soul and Jesse's sophomore album, 2006's Right Where You Want Me reflecting Jesse's growth as a songwriter and young man. "When it was time to do my third album, I wanted people to see another side of me. I wanted the record to have a little retro hint sonically but with a my own contemporary feel - I listened to the music of Michael Jackson, Madonna and Prince a lot before we started the album. I knew I had to present myself in a fresh way so I was open to other people's ideas and suggestions, especially since I was working with such great writers and producers." As the co-writer of many of the album's songs, Jesse chose to share the experiences he's had since Beautiful Soul made him a household name throughout the U.S. and in a dozen or more countries, from Italy to Japan. "I recorded my first solo album when I was 16. A lot has happened since then and this new album reflects my experiences growing up over the past couple of years and various stages of family and personal relationships. I bought my first home. I've been fortunate enough to tour all over the world which meant being away from my family and friends for very lengthy times. I've experienced all the ups and downs of relationships people my age go through. That's why I think fans who've grown up with me will relate to the songs on Departure, many of which do have an autobiographical feel."

    McCartney ain't leavin'
  

*by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2008*

If you think you know Jesse McCartney, think again, 'cause this 21 year old former Disney boy did what many believed was almost impossible: he pulled a Justin Timberlake.Granted, his previous efforts weren't half bad, I'd even say they were underrated, however, this one is a real "departure".It could have easily turned out to be a desperate JT wannabe's pale copy of Justified. Only it isn't. With the smash hit "Bleeding Love" sung by Leona Lewis, McCartney has already proven himself as a mature writer to critics. His own record, however, the third album "Departure", will really surprise the audience.The first single "Leavin'" was an excellent choice as it really bridges the gap between pretty boy Jesse and the new, 21 year old R&B singer. With amazing club remixes (the Ralphi Rosario Club Mix in particular) and a killer acoustic version recorded for KISS FM proving McCartney's vocal skills, the song is a solid Billboard Top10 hit."Leavin'", however is by far not the only excellent track on the new album. In fact, almost all the tracks have the potential to appeal to different types of people.The ones that stand out for me personally are songs like "Rock You", which will make the casual fan check the CD cover twice as they will simply not believe they are listening to a Jesse McCartney album. The shock will only be a positive one, though, as Jesse and Sean Garret sell the song as good as anyone could. It is a smash hit.The almost boybandish (think *N Sync 2008) "How Do You Sleep" with a catchy chorus you'll find yourself humming all day long, is the ultimate "guilty pleasure" on the CD. Rumor has it, it might even be the next single."My Baby" is one of McCartney's personal favorites and, although I find it slightly boring, there is a certain flow to the song that makes it worth checking out. It is also one of the most "Justin-like" tracks, but again, it never feels like a cheap copy."Relapse" is another surprising song which is not too complex or sophisticated, yet has a certain mood to it, with a midtempo beat that makes it very enjoyable."Runnin'" is one of the highlights of "Departure". It is a very well written and performed midtempo song which begs for the "repeat track" function on your mp3 player.The track that amazed me the most, however, is the one I consider McCartney's best work ever. If he has the guts, he simply has to release "Make Up" as the next single. Granted, this will cause the most controversy and might be too much for the screaming 13 year old "Beautiful Soul" fans. However with the steamy/cheeky lyrics, the irresistible beat fueled by the background vocals ("Uh-hey"), the killer base and the sexy Brazilian chick whispering, this flawlessly produced Kwame club-banger could establish McCartney as the coolest thing since sliced bread. Warning: the song is massively addictive!Altogether, even with its weaker tracks, McCartney's third album gets a solid "A" on my chart. The only question is, will the media, the market, the fans allow Jesse to grow up. Will people be open enough to give it a try and listen to the album with an open mind forgetting (forgiving?) the blond-dyed Disney-boy past.If so, Justin Timberlake will have to watch his "sexy back". McCartney ain't "leavin", he's about to "rock you".

    Didn't know ya had it in ya, Jesse!
  

*by H***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2008*

Whoa! This album was an unexpected surprise, I love it! It is defiantly a departure from his previous work. Jesse has turned out a more edgy sound on this album that is absolutely R&B/Hip-Hop infused....Yeah, certainly a departure....A fantastic one at that!

    Wow.
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2008*

When I first heard "Leavin" about two months ago, I was like "wow", Jesse McCartney is going for a hip hop sound which I didn't mind because I love hip hop. I really like a lot of the songs on his album. He's really grown as a singer and an artist. His lyrics mean a lot more but I also think that some of the tracks were just thrown together without a lot of planning. I despise the song "Rock You". It really degrades him as a vocalist. It's very annoying. I'm not a big fan of "Makeup" either. But that's just me. I like his slower songs. It's a good CD and I think it's worth the buy but it would be a lot better without the two songs above.
