He was busy with Petra Nemcova the next day, so why would he bother with a past hookup? She was said to have sent him several voice and text messages in a vain attempt to get in touch with him before the Kentucky Derby. The NY Daily News is reporting that Nick decided not to respond to former miss Kentucky Lizzie Arnold, who he was supposedly dating in January.
Here’s the video for “What’s Left of Me.” It’s pretty good. Set to a pop soundtrack, his pain becomes palpable, raw, universal. His brooding songs, sung in a clear tenor, span different stages of grief, sometimes within the same track – there’s resentment, regret and acceptance in “I Can’t Hate You Anymore” – until he reaches his “Resolution,” pledging his commitment to let go. Realizing that he must move on (“I don’t want to waste another day stuck in the shadow of my mistakes”), the title track has Lachey telling a potential lover to make him “whole once again.” He asks, “Why did you have to leave? Why did you have to set me free? Why did you have to go?” But he takes an angrier tone in “I Do it For You,” expressing his wish to see her “bleed and see how it feels…” In “Shades of Blue,” one of the album’s best tracks, Lachey pines for a lost love, foolishly awaiting her return.
The disc – a somber, soulful, angsty collection of 12 ballads – is a slickly produced, raw-nerved confessional of his heartbreak and an open letter to Simpson. If so, then Nick Lachey’s new solo album, “What’s Left of Me,” could prove cathartic If not, it might leave you a bit depressed…
Are you reeling from a painful breakup? Going through a divorce? Unwilling to let go of an erstwhile lover?
