Review

As I sit here listening to LeAnn Rimes' "I Need You", I'm reminded of the uncertainty that often comes with change. This album, released in 2001, marked a significant shift in Rimes' style, moving away from her country roots and towards a more pop-leaning adult contemporary sound. The album features some beautiful tracks, including the hit singles "Written in the Stars", a duet with Elton John, and "Can't Fight the Moonlight". These songs showcase Rimes' impressive vocal range and emotional delivery. The album's sound is a bit of a departure from what fans were used to, but it's still unmistakably LeAnn Rimes.

The story behind "I Need You" is just as fascinating as the music itself. The album was created to fulfill Rimes' contract obligations, and she has spoken publicly about not having creative control over the project. Despite this, the album achieved commercial success, peaking at number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and earning Platinum certification in the United States and Canada. Songs like "But I Do Love You" and "Soon" are also standouts, with "Soon" being featured on the soundtrack for the film "Driven". While "I Need You" may not be Rimes' most personal or representative work, it's still a testament to her vocal talent and enduring appeal. - Melissa
