I Need You is the third compilation album from American recording artist LeAnn Rimes. The album was first released on January 30, 2001, through Curb Records to help satisfy Rimes' recording contract obligations during litigation with the label and her management. Rimes publicly disowned the album just days after its release, causing it to be discontinued. The album was then officially released by Rimes on March 26, 2002, with four additional tracks and a new recording: "Light the Fire Within". In 2008, the album was released as a package with Rimes' debut album, Blue (1996).

Contents

I Need You received mixed reviews by music critics, who praised its pop appeal but criticized the selection of the songs, noting that none of them made a significant impact on the listeners. 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. The album was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), among other organizations, and was certified platinum by both Music Canada and the IFPI Finland.

Background and development

The tracks on I Need You were taken from various studio tracks released between 1999 and 2001, as well as B-sides tracks to help satisfy Rimes' recording contract obligations during litigation with the label [2] and her management. [3] During the litigation with her 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." [4] The album was publicly disowned by Rimes four days after its 2001 release, with Rimes stating that: "[t]his 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." [5]

Songs

The duet with Elton John, called "Written in the Stars", was released as a single on February 23, 1999 [6] from the Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida concept album. [7] The album contains the alternate version featured on the single. [8] "I Need You" was slated on the Jesus: Music From and Inspired by the Epic Mini Series soundtrack released on March 8, 2000. [9] It was released as a single on July 18, 2000, for the soundtrack. [10] "But I Do Love You" and "Can't Fight the Moonlight" were included on the soundtrack for Coyote Ugly on August 1, 2000. [11] "Can't Fight the Moonlight" was released as a single for the soundtrack on August 22, 2000, [12] and the B-side track, "But I Do Love You", was released as a single from the soundtrack internationally on February 11, 2002. [13] and in the US two weeks later on February 26. [14]

Release and promotion

The album was first released on January 30, 2001, by Curb Records. [15] and featured an alternate country version of "But I Do Love You". [16] "You Are" was released on the soundtrack for Angel Eyes after the album's release. [17] "Soon" was also launched after the release of the album on the soundtrack for Driven . [18] After Rimes disowned the 2001 release, it was discontinued, and she officially re-issued the album on March 26, 2002. [19] It contained all ten original tracks from the 2001 release with an extended version of "You Are"; a bonus song, "Light the Fire Within", [19] which Rimes performed at the 2002 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Salt Lake City; [20] and four bonus remixes.

Two promotional singles were released from the album. "You Are" was released in 2001. [22] The song was featured on the soundtrack for Angel Eyes on May 18, 2001, [17] and was included on the Asian release of The Best of LeAnn Rimes , [23] as well as the remixed edition. [24] "You Are" is a pop song [25] [26] with a duration of four minutes and fifty-eight seconds, [19] and it was written by Laurie Webb. [27] Mark Huxley at Barnes & Noble.com called the song a "full-on dance-pop". [25] "Soon" was released in 2001 [28] as a promotional CD single that consisted of the album version of the song and the Graham Stack Radio Edit of the song. [29] "Soon" is a ballad [25] of three minutes and fifty-three seconds.

[30] The song was featured on the soundtrack for Driven, which was released on April 27, 2001. [18] Mark Huxley at Barnes & Noble.com praised the song, claiming that "Rimes is back on more familiar turf on the big ballad[s]." [25] A review in Billboard stated that the song "leans more towards the AC side then anything resembling true country." [31] It peaked at fourteen on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart. [32]

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." [25] Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly gave a mixed review about the album, saying "The good news about Rimes' latest: It reprises two songs, 'But I Do Love You' and 'Can't Fight the Moonlight,' from the Coyote Ugly soundtrack. Now the bad: You'll snooze through the rest, except 'Written in the Stars', her slugfest duet with Elton John. If only you could sleep through that." [34]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic also gave a mixed review, stating that "Rimes' 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." [26] Rolling Stone gave the album two-and-a-half out of five stars and called the album "synthetic-feeling." [35] Trisha Huenke of About.com gave the album four out of five stars [33] 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." [20]
