JESSE McCARTNEY

Departure (Hollywood): B

Our kids grow up so fast. One day they’re singing about daddy’s little girl and unrequited love; next thing you know they’re whispering in their bedmate’s ear, “I wanna see you when I wake up, ’cuz you look good without makeup.” The birds and the bees are buzzing all over this grown-up “Departure” by one-time tween heartthrob McCartney. A Maroon 5-like vibe carries through these 12 tunes, including the killer first single “Leavin’ ” and the hook-laden song to download: “How Do You Sleep”
