Yet chief among the things you will hear is the sound of a woman becoming her own person and staying true to her heart.
This time I really wanted to make an album that was real and organic and that you could listen to all the way through and maybe be inspired to fall in love or follow your dreams.
That sense of liberation is abundant on the album's first single "Sweetest Sin." Written by hit maker Diane Warren and produced by RicWake, "Sweetest Sin" is unabashedly carnal and, as Jessica notes, a marked change from the giddy teen pop that launched her career.
