CD Review: Nick Lachey - What's Left of Me

(andPOP) - It's unclear whether Nick Lachey had chosen a title for his second solo CD before or after his split with Jessica Simpson.

But that doesn?t matter because "What's Left of Me" suits both Lachey's life before Simpson and after it. The title could refer to what's left of the singer after his marriage fell apart, or could refer to after how his career fell apart after his boy band 98 Degrees split up.

"What's Left of Me" is full of songs that only tweens and teens would find interesting. It's an album about how much someone broke his heart, and to the untrained ear sounds like any other Backstreet Boys album.

Which is too bad because out of all of the boys in boy bands in the late 90s, Lachey was one of the few guys with the looks and the voice to carry him past his boy band years. But unfortunately this album does not showcase his full talent.

But if you are a teen girl, or know one who is currently pining for Lachey, or one who has recently had her heart crushed, "What's Left of Me" is the album for her.
