In his joyous debut solo album, Jesse McCartney merges his blue-eyed pop-rock vocals with soul inflections, infectious grooves, and countless instantly memorable hooks. These are great pop songs co-written by Jesse with the collaborative assistance of many of the US pop song writing A team - hit-makers like Matthew Gerrard (Hilary Duff, Nick Carter), Robbie Neville (Babyface, Destiny’s Child, Jessica Simpson), Andreas Carlsson (Britney Spears), and Desmond Child (Clay Aiken, Aerosmith).

The closest thing to a male Hilary Duff, Jesse McCartney has found success not only as a teen-pop recording artist, but as an actor, starring on the TV programs ALL MY CHILDREN, SUMMERLAND, and various Disney Channel shows. With BEAUTIFUL SOUL, the young vocalist makes his bid for musical credibility, turning in a well-crafted and danceable set of pop/R&B songs. Taking a cue from the mammoth success of Usher, McCartney comes right out of the box with "She's No You," a pumping track that reflects the urgency of young love with a rapid-fire verse followed by a crooning chorus, backed by hip-hop beats and Barry White-esque string arrangements. "Get Your Shine On" is pure old-school disco, and the mid-tempo groover "Come to Me" conjures Michael Jackson's THRILLER heyday. BEAUTIFUL SOUL is a surprisingly mature effort, and delivers far more than one would imagine such a young performer could muster.

this is a really good cd especially if you are a fan of the very good looking jesse mccartney!! songs like beautiful soul are incredibly catchy and you will find yourself huming this all day long! if your into fluffy pop type music such as hilary duff and vanessa hudgens, then you will like this.

pretty average album from jesse macartney really, there is nothing out of the ordinary on this album, and all the songs pretty much mould into one sickly sweet love song. if you liked the radio releases then this will probably appeal, but for those wanting something a bit more exciting, this will not be it.

What? all those people who bought his album and not one wants to share their undying love for this woman..... oh that's right he's a boy.... couldda fooled me.... and he did.
And all those stupid gullible gits who believed the rumour that he was the long lost son of Paul McCartney, yes cuz it's far to coincidental that two musos in the same millenia could possibly have the same last name.
What do you expect from a young lad who has no worldy experience? Crappy lyrics and music to go with... oh you betcha.
One for the poor widdle kiddies who don't know any better but should.
