I Need You is a compilation album by American recording artist LeAnn Rimes. The album was first released on January 30, 2001, through Curb Records to help satisfy Rimes's recording contract obligations following her issuance of a lawsuit against the label. The original release of the album consists of four previously released soundtrack appearances alongside six new tracks. Rimes publicly disowned the album just days after its release, but despite her comments, Curb continued to promote the record and released three singles in support of the album. The album was re-released on March 26, 2002, with four additional remixes and the new recording "Light the Fire Within".

Contents

I Need You received mixed reviews from music critics, who noted Rimes's gradual move away from country and towards pop-leaning adult contemporary music. In the United States, the album peaked at number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and reached number ten on the Billboard 200. Internationally, it peaked at number four on the Finnish Albums Chart, number ten on the Canadian Albums Chart, and number eleven on both the Austrian Albums Chart and the Irish Album Chart. I Need You was certified platinum in the United States and Canada and was certified gold in four further countries.

The album contains the hit singles "Written in the Stars", "I Need You", and "Can't Fight the Moonlight", which were released as singles from soundtracks prior to the album's release. The latter was a major hit worldwide, reaching the top of the charts in the United Kingdom and Australia, but only peaked at number 71 in the United States in its initial release. Following the release of I Need You, Curb Records released "But I Do Love You" and "Soon" as singles; both songs were also featured on soundtracks. Internationally, "I Need You" served as the second single from the album. The record was further promoted with a re-release of "Can't Fight the Moonlight" in 2001; the song would go on to peak at number 11 in the United States in 2002.

Background and development

In November 2000, Rimes sued Curb Records in an effort to have her recording contract with the label nullified; it had originally been signed on her behalf by her parents in 1995. [1] Subsequently, I Need You was released to help satisfy Rimes's recording contract obligations with the label. [2] During litigation with the label, Rimes asked "that Curb give Rimes the rights to all past recordings and videos, give up all publishing interests in her compositions and destroy all currently available recordings." [3] Rimes claimed that she was unaware of album's planned release until a month prior to it being issued. [4] According to her management, the new songs on the album stemmed from as early as 1999 and were finished without her input. [5]

The album was publicly disowned by Rimes two days after its 2001 release, with Rimes stating that: "This album was made without my creative input. It consists largely of unfinished material and songs that didn't make other albums [...] I want to make abundantly clear to you that this album is not a reflection of myself as an artist but is solely the conception of Curb Records, and for that I am truly and deeply sorry." [4] [6] Rimes's father (Wilbur Rimes), with whom the singer was also in dispute with, had production credits on 8 of the 10 songs on the album. Wilbur Rimes issued a statement that said "I believe this is one of the best albums LeAnn has ever recorded. The songs she chose for this album demonstrate her newfound maturity and the continuing development of her tremendous talent. These were all finished masters, and LeAnn loved the way it all came together when it was complete". [7] [8] Curb Records released a statement that said "We believe that I Need You is the best album that [Rimes] has ever recorded. Nevertheless, we are excited about the new musical directions that LeAnn is exploring for the future, and, as always, we respect her talent and her opinions." [7] Curb Records continued to promote the album despite Rimes's comments. [9] [10] In November 2001, Rimes was released from her original contract with Curb Records and she subsequently signed a new agreement with the label under new terms. [11]

Four songs on the album were previously released. [12] The duet with Elton John, "Written in the Stars", was released as a single on February 23, 1999, from the concept album, Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida . [13] [14] The album contains the "alternate version" of the song, previously included as the second track on the single. "I Need You" was included on the Jesus: Music From and Inspired by the Epic Mini Series soundtrack released on March 8, 2000. [15] It was released as a single on July 18, 2000, for the soundtrack. [16] "But I Do Love You" and "Can't Fight the Moonlight" were included on the soundtrack for Coyote Ugly on August 1, 2000. [17] "Can't Fight the Moonlight" was released as a single for the soundtrack on August 22, 2000, with "But I Do Love You" as its b-side. [18] The version of "But I Do Love You" that appears on the initial release of I Need You is a new remix which was also sent to country radio stations. [19] The cover photograph on I Need You was previously used in the Coyote Ugly soundtrack liner notes and as the single art for "Can't Fight the Moonlight".

I Need You received generally mixed reviews from music critics. Mark Huxley at Barnes & Noble gave a positive review of the album, saying that Rimes is "comfortably adopting some distinctly modern sonic elements without sacrificing her tradition-steeped country roots." [38] The Philippine Star felt that despite being "culled from assorted sources" the album "comes across as the best crafted of all the albums that LeAnn has recorded". [39] Chris Neal from Country Weekly praised the album and Rimes's vocal performance, saying that "all the songs are solid". However, he also noted that "most of the songs have only a tenuous connection to country" and said "how you feel about I Need You will largely depend on whether you see LeAnn’s shift toward pop as a positive development." [12]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave a mixed review, calling it "her first full-fledged pop album" with "footing squarely within adult contemporary pop". He stated that Rimes's "impressive voice sounds restrained in this setting, too self-consciously mature. In a nutshell, that's the problem with I Need You - it's a teenager attempting to make a thirtysomething album. That she occasionally succeeds is a testament to her vocal talents and the skills of her producers, but it shouldn't be surprising that it also feels awkward for large stretches, never quite becoming as alluring as Breathe , because this is a sound that she needs to grow into to be totally convincing." [20] Arion Berger from Rolling Stone gave the album two-and-a-half out of five stars and called the album "synthetic-feeling." He praised Rimes's vocal performance and described the album as being closer to adult contemporary than country. [36] Trisha Huenke of About.com gave the album four out of five stars and praised it for its pop sound, stating that, "Finally we have an artist who is straightforward about the fact that she wants to sing pop music." [34] Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly gave a mixed review of the album. She criticized "Written in the Stars", calling it a "slugfest duet". She praised the inclusion of "But I Do Love You" and "Can't Fight the Moonlight" but said "you'll snooze through the rest." [35]

Internationally, the album was a success, peaking at number four on the Finnish Albums Chart, number ten on the Canadian Albums Chart, and at number eleven on both the Austrian Albums Chart and the Irish Album Charts.
