This angel's come a long way. Since 13-year-old LeAnn Rimes wowed audiences with her
Patsy Cline-like "Blue" back in '96, she's evolved from a country music prodigy, micro-managed by her dad, to an emancipated pop star who's charting her own creative course. And her latest,
Twisted Angel, finds Rimes moving farther from her country music roots with a set of songs closer in spirit to junior divas Britney and Christina than to Patsy and
Reba. For her journey into popdom, Rimes joined forces with a trio of renowned producer/songwriters, including hit doctor Desmond Child (
Cher,
Ricky Martin). The results range from the upbeat, Jessica Simpson-flavored lead single, "Life Goes On," and the funky R&B workout "Trouble with Goodbye" to soaring, slow-burning ballads such as "You Made Me Find Myself," which recalls queen diva
Celine Dion. Elsewhere, the sassy Texan flexes her impressive range on the title track's saucy, swampy blues, the ethereal "Review My Kisses," and the seductive, techno-driven "Tic Toc," which is sure to raise the eyebrows of her more conservative fans. No longer Daddy's little angel, LeAnn Rimes is her own woman on
Twisted Angel, which marks her progression from country princess to mature pop chanteuse.
