}} ''A Little More Personal (Raw)'' is the second studio album by American singer and actress Lindsay Lohan, released on December 5, 2005 by Casablanca Records. Initially titled ''There's Only One Angel In Heaven'', the album, produced by Kara DioGuardi, Greg Wells, Ben Moody and Butch Walker, features darker material than Lohan's previous album, ''Speak'' (2004). Recording sessions took place in several locations, including at Lohan's trailer during the shoot of ''Herbie: Fully Loaded'', where she recorded the first and only single of the album, "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)". ''A Little More Personal (Raw)'' received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised Lohan's ambition, despite considering it a weak album. The album charted mildly compared to ''Speak'', debuting (and also peaking) at number twenty on United States' ''Billboard'' 200 with first week sales of 82,000 copies, and also peaking at the same position on the Digital Albums chart. However, ''A Little More Personal (Raw)'' was certified Gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over 500,000 copies. It was also certified Gold in Taiwan.〔 Lohan promoted the album with a few television appearances, including at MTV's ''Total Request Live'', ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'' and the 2005 American Music Awards. ==Background and recording== During the shoot of the music video for "First" (2005), Lohan revealed in an interview with MTV that she was preparing her sophomore studio album.〔 "When you get into the studio, everything just comes out," she said. "All your creative juices are there. I don't (to ) leave. I'll still be in there until all hours, and it's nice to be able to do that." Lohan began writing lyrics for her album in June 2005, after her last single from her previous album had been released. "I've been writing a lot, almost every night," she said. "There's been a lot going on (my life lately ), and I think people can find that escape in hobbies that they do. I don't do yoga or anything, but some people use that. Everyone has their own thing, and I use writing." Initially titled ''There's Only One Angel In Heaven'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lindsay Lohan - There's Only One Angel In Heaven Japan - CD ALBUM (338769) )〕 the pop rock album features a darker theme when compared to Lohan's previous album, ''Speak'' (2004). "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)", the lead single and first track of the album, was mainly written by Lohan as a letter to her father, Michael Lohan, who was incarcerated in June 2005 after surviving a car crash for which he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Additional writing and song production was done by Greg Wells and Kara DioGuardi,〔''A Little More Personal (Raw)'' (liner notes). Lindsay Lohan.

I'm not kidding! She had no time to do the record, so she would be on her lunch break, and I'd be like, 'Throw that thing down your throat and get over here, 'cause we got to finish these vocals!' So I sat for 14 hours on the set and would grab her for, like, 10 minutes at a time. The poor girl. That's the reality of young Hollywood. When they're hot, they're worked to death. It was 18/20-hour days. ... And I swear: 'Vroom! Vroom!' You can hear it in the back." "My Innocence" is also about the singer's father.〔 Lohan also covered "I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick and "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks for the album.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Little More Personal (Raw)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
