“Love Must Be Telling Me Something” is a twangy song that sounds like it would fit in well on country radio even now about the trouble that the narrator feels from her feelings about someone she is falling in love with. “Can’t Fight The Moonlight” is a rousing dance pop song that was a deserved hit from “Coyote Ugly” and remains one of LeAnn Rimes’ signature songs two decades later. “Soon” is a song that puts on a brave face about the narrator getting over an ex-partner soon, given adult contemporary production that certainly fits the mood well. “You Are” combines vulnerable lyrics with somewhat artificial music that cuts against the tone of the lyrics, but which fits the dance pop that the singer was performing a lot at the time. “But I Do Love You” has a combination between acoustic and electronic elements with gorgeous lyrics about the narrator’s love for a person even if there is a lot she doesn’t love about his absence. “I Need You” carries on that expansive mood with a passionate ode to romantic love that was a deserved hit. “Light The Fire Within” begins the album with a stirring children’s choir and an inspirational song that sounds like something that could have been on a Final Fantasy soundtrack in the best way. How good is it aside from its hits? Let’s find out. Such was the case, for example, with Badfinger’s Ass, an unfortunately titled album that nonetheless had the surpassingly beautiful “Apple Of My Eye” on the track list, and this album appears to belong to that list of worthy contractual obligation albums as well. There are, unfortunately, at least a few cases in the music world where a label releases songs from an artist with whom they are having an estranged relationship where some of those songs, at least, become standout tracks for the artist. It is not too surprising that this collection won the support of LeAnn Rimes despite not beginning well–the album contains two soundtrack songs that were quite popular and not yet present on any of the artist’s studio albums as well as the title track, which also became a sizable hit. After waiting some time after the initial start of the career retrospective for LeAnn Rimes, the rankdown has now come to this particular album, which was initially released for contractual obligations on LeAnn Rimes’ initial radio contract but soon thereafter came to be recognized by the artist.
