OVEREXPOSED Hewitt hits false notes on ''BareNaked''
Music Review

BareNaked (2002)

EW's GRADE
D+

Details Release Date: Oct 08, 2002; Lead Performance: Jennifer Love Hewitt

Jennifer Love Hewitt's latest attempt at music superstardom, BareNaked, amounts to nothing more than a party of five million bland clichés. The songs range from typical ballads, unfortunate raps (one song actually begins with ''Yo, yo, yo...''), and one faux-impromptu blues jam, each obviously created not from personal experience but in some sort of pop-music laboratory. And posing seminude on the cover while crooning lines like ''Don't tell me that you won't do me, baby'' doesn't make her a bad girl -- it just makes her bad.
