In 2004 Leann Rimes made her comeback, and she did it in style. While her lprevious album lacked the lustre and traditionally
strong songs that people have come to expect to hear from Leann Rimes, "This Woman" shows that at 22 Rimes can still sing.
Not only can she still sing but also, she does it quite well on this album. Rimes goes back to her roots of country music rather than her sticking to the style on her last album, which bordered on being too poppy for her fans.
One thing that has changed is that her voice has matured and become stronger.
She finally seems comfortable in her own skin, singing music that, not only appeals to her audience, but also seems to appeal to her.
The music is still country rock, and has shades of "Coyote Ugly" in it, but she puts more heart and soul into the music.
Songs such as "Something's gotta give" and "Nothing bout love makes sense" are traditionally country. With lines like "Like an ocean liner shouldn't float on the sea, a pearl in an oyster or a circus of fleas, someone so perfect can't be falling for me, oh nothing about love makes sense." one feels the urge to bring out the cowboy hat and boots.
The song "Probably won't be this way" is the traditional country heartbreak song of love lost, with poignant lyrics, and Rime's is at her most heartfelt sincerest.
Strong in lyrics, the whole album plays strongly on the use of acoustic guitar, and fiddles.
The music is still very bouncy, but in a boot-tapping way, and certainly her best effort in a long while.
Overall the music sounds clearer, and neater. Leann Rimes seems to have finally found an album that is her niche, and that shows that she wasn't just a flash in the pan. At 22 she shows with "This woman" that she has many years still in her.
For the die-hard Leann Rimes fans, and even some new ones it's definitely worth putting into the CD player and listening to.
