Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Recorded just as Simpson was entering her 20s, Irresistible is Jessica's diary of being a global pop star thrown into the limelight while still in her late teens. Tracks such as "I Never" (produced by Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins), the raw "Hot Like Fire" and the R&B swinger "Imagination" are tunes encoded with the plea, "I'm a big girl now. Please take me seriously." "A Little Bit" and "What's It Gonna Be" are classic teen-pop moments, while the ballads "There You Were" and "For Your Love" appear to be flashbacks to purer times. The gospel finale "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" is Jessica's reassuring nod to her grandmother that she's still a good, god-fearing girl. --John Galilee

BBC Review

Jessica Simpson is as wholesome and well adjusted as they come, despite appearing on 'Disney Club' at a tender age along with fellow starlets Aguilera and Spears. This is her second album (at the ripe old age of 21) and it covers all the bases - shiny, digitally rendered funk ("Irresistible", "I Never"), huge power ballads ("There You Were", "When You Told Me You Loved Me") and even a bit of gospel, namely "His Eye Is On The Sparrow". It's what you would expect - a mix of Britney, Christina, Mariah and even Celine, in fact, Ms Dion's usual arranger is brought in to provide extra firepower for the ballads. The standout cut is "Hot Like Fire" which sees Jessica get into Destiny's Child territory - she's been cheated on by her man and gets appropriately annoyed on what is easily the her best performance on the record. The girl can sing, as they say in Texas, which incidentally is where she was brought up. "To Fall in Love Again" morphs from heavy duty ballad into an R'n'B tinged slow jam, showing maybe that there are other opportunities for Ms Simpson other than those on show here. What does she care, anyway... the album's just gone Gold in the States. --Peter Marsh

By Daniel Jolley HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Jessica Simpson has to be one of the most underrated singers in the business right now; this follow-up album to her hit debut CD Sweet Kisses didn't enjoy the success of its predecessor, but I think this is an impressive, highly enjoyable album. Granted, a certain amount of the production is noticeably pop-centered, but the power of this woman's voice is impossible to obscure by any accompaniment or musical style. Her voice has depth and substance, bearing a strong gospel influence and, I would argue, more than a little bit of soul. Like any great singer, there is much more to her voice than just the sound of it, and I suspect Simpson could thrive in any number of different musical genres. She can tear your heart out on one track, only to turn around and get your blood pumping on the next.

Simpson proves herself equally adept at both up-tempo dance songs and soul-stirring ballads. The title track is just infectiously good - I bought the album on the strength of this song alone; as it turns out, though, I like A Little Bit even more. Then you have What's It Gonna Be, a song I particularly like to listen to (although it does have a definite Britney-like quality to it). Imagination and I Never are throwaway songs of a sort; for whatever reason, these up-tempo songs really just don't bring anything to the party. They are not bad songs; they just don't seem to have any substance. I actually like the song Hot Like Fire, although I can see how some would not; the chorus has an interesting off-beat kind of thing going, and that appeals to me. The song itself is built almost solely upon a drum and keyboard played to a driving beat, so the song's success depends almost wholly on Jessica's voice - she comes through with an intense, passionate delivery, but she probably goes a little bit too far with it all. In addition to this, the whole phone conversation aspect of the track mires it in teen pop territory- which is fine for some, but it is not the kind of thing everyone will enjoy.

The ballads on this album are superb; each song is beautiful in and of itself, but Jessica's voice incorporates an ever-increasing level of passion into each and every one of them. Here is where her singing talent is really unleashed for all to see. When You Told Me You Loved Me is just incredible; in my opinion, it is the most impressive song on the album. To Fall in Love Again and For Your Love also come through as deeply emotional tracks that speak directly to the heart. Forever In Your Eyes, featuring a catchy Latin sound, is not really a ballad, but it has all of the emotional impact of Simpson's slower songs. I even like the duet with Mark Anthony, even though I'm by no means a Mark Anthony fan; on There You Were, both singers' voices blend beautifully and succeed in creating something special.

The album closes with Simpson's rendition of the gospel song His Eye is On the Sparrow. This seems to me to have been both a good idea and a bad one. Simpson's roots are in gospel, and this track really gave her a chance to let loose and show off her incredible voice, but the whole thing seems to get a little out of control as the tempo keeps increasing.

All told, this is an excellent album that seems to get better each time I listen to it. While two or three songs are relatively weaker than those around them, there really is not a bad song to be found here. No matter how much or how little success Jessica Simpson attains in her musical career, I feel confident saying she has one of the most truly gifted voices in the business.

4.0 out of 5 stars wish i had a voice like that :( 28 Aug 2002
By fee
Format:Audio CD
1. irresistable - great catchy song. good for partys
2. a little bit - more pop sounding...catchy tho but gets boring after a while
3. forever in your eyes - love this song...play it loud...her voice sounds great. slowish song but catchy.
4. there you were - i personally get very bored of slow songs and this 1 doesnt keep much interest for me...would prefer if there wasnt this guy in it
5. whats it gonna be - pop song again but i loved this song from the first time i heard it...very catchy chorus
6. when you told me you loved me - even tho a slow song, i love this song...shows off jessicas powerful voice.
7. hot like fire - even tho a good song (and a "get back at your boyfriend" song) it sometimes sounds like the song becomes TOO powerful for her....kinda sounds like michael jackson when she shouts...ha ha
8. imagination - i found this the most boring of all the songs on the cd. i felt...apart from tracks 9 and 10...the cd goes downhill from here. yawn
9. to fall in love again - great slow song...gets more powerful towards the end...how songs should be (especially slow ones) and it helps with her having a powerful voice
10. for your love - another great slow song...powerful chorus
11. i never - sounds like jennifer lopez type song...i didnt really like this 1
12. his eye is on the sparrow - GREAT song...sounds like a bit much for her towards the end tho. great gospel song :D

This is an amazing album whats so amazing is how each song can be so different, but so good. I have to admit I wasn't the biggest admiring of her debut album in her debut album there were glimpes of her amazing voice.

This album isn't full of slow ballads but most of the songs are full of energy and some of the lyrics are very clever, my personal favourite is 'A Little Bit'.

Jessica simpson derserves to have a real hit with this CD. Its highly recommended from me. I have to say i don't have any other CD with this amount of diversity to be song by the same artist and i would be surprized if there was one. I am thrilled with this CD to have loved every single song, usually i will edit the playlist but not this one i couldn't. This is 'Hot Like fire' and i urge you to buy it, you won't regret it.

If you loved the song iresistable than you will love this allthough there is no song like iresistable but you will love every track at least i did. Iresistable is not the best track it just gives you a taste and tells you what the album is.

Your love this becauce of the variation BUY IT
