Jesse McCartney, a former teen idol who peaked in Dream Street, had solo success with "Beautiful Soul," wrote the song "Bleeding Love" for Leona Lewis, and had starring roles on "Summerland." His most recent EP, "All's Well," has McCartney as an elegant wine, reflecting his aged years.
Furthermore, he is expressing this through music to the best of his ability. A number of years have passed since McCartney dropped new music. His album "New Stage" from 2021 was a collection of glamorous adult contemporary music songs. He and his wife Katie Peterson enjoyed their married life in the years that followed.
With his most recent album, McCartney returns to his signature style of raunchy lyrics and instantly recognizable pop music from the early 2000s.
The first song, "Faux Fur," is a groovy R&B number that deals with similar topics to Jennifer Lopez's 2001 single "Love Don't Cost a Thing," which describes how the greatest things in life are free.
He sings in his signature falsetto, "But some things can't buy:" his heart, his time, and his hand in mine. "I will spend my life with you/No amount is too great/Your world is mine." "Make a Baby," the second tune, is a defiant R&B-pop number that is all about procreation, and it features the sassy Yung Gravy.
With a seductive and entertaining pop melody as a backdrop, McCartney sings a wicked chorus that goes something like, "I want it all/It's tasty/I eat it up like pastry/In the mall/She makes me/They hate us up in Macy's."
On "All's Well," though, there are some dark undertones as well. "The Well" is a reflective acoustic ballad about stuffing one's feelings: "I get in my car and go around/To hide what's going on in my head," McCartney begins the song. "The problems I've run away from will never be visible to you."
It sets the stage for the concluding song "Silver Spoon," which criticizes the extremely wealthy. To channel his inner Justin Timberlake from the 2000s, McCartney performs the song "She was born on top of the moon/Lookin' out at the nicest view/Waking up with nothing else to do/But polishing up her silver spoon." Embrace the joys of life, love, and desire with the succinct "All's Well" EP.
