    S6 - E12 - Jessica Simpson - His Eye Is On The Sparrow + Summer Break!

    Jessica leans on her faith to see her on this album closer, and wow is it powerful! On this episode, I explore the history of this gospel hymn in the Black church and the important cover versions across the years. Additionally, I also expand on the importance of Jessica choosing this particular song on an album that is so heavily criticized for being so radically different from "Sweet Kisses". I will be taking a little summer break as well! See you soon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    S6 - E11 - Jessica Simpson - I Never + Remembering Ananda Lewis

    Bop or flop? On this episode I cover the least streamed song on "Irresistible" - but does it deserve to be in that ranking? Plus, there is no way we can talk about the y2k pop era without mentioning Ananda Lewis. She played a pivotal role in the relaunching of the NYC era of MTV and in pop culture in general and we will miss her so much! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    S6 - E10 - Jessica Simpson - For Your Love / Who is Lucia Cole?

    While many consider this a stand out track on "Irresistible", it falls a little flat to me personally - but I guess that's a me problem, huh? But on the other hand, there is this curious case of mistaken identity that occurred in 2015 on Twitter involving this album and an artist mysteriously named....Lucia Cole. Hosted on Acast.

    S6 - E9 - Jessica Simpson - To Fall in Love Again

    As the album begins to wind down, things are still heating up! This slow burner of a ballad is truly a stand out and is the epitome of the term "hidden gem"! Featuring writing credits and production from a long time Mariah collaborator, "To Fall in Love Again" is one song you don't wanna miss! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    S6 - E8 - Jessica Simpson - Imagination

    After the high energy "Hot Like Fire", this track is a definite cool down but it's a little uneventful. What do you think? Is it thriller or filler for you? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    S6 - E7 - Jessica Simpson - Hot Like Fire

    We are entering new territory on the "Irresistible" journey! Angry Jessica has entered the chat. This is definitely one of the most epic songs on the album and I've got something to say about it! And it goes a little somethin' like this.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    S6 - E6 - Jessica Simpson - When You Told Me You Loved Me

    This extra long chatty episode explores the single that never was...and possibly should have been? "When You Told Me..." has all the makings of a huge single yet never saw the light of day. However, you may surprised to discover this song has a huge second life online and is by far one of the top fan-favs off "Irresistible". While it's not one of my personal favs, I have to give respect where it's due. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    S6 - E5 - Jessica Simpson - What's It Gonna Be?

    We're back to boppin'! After last weeks dramatic ballad, we are here with Brand New Jessica and her new brand punchy pop sound. This is definitely one of my personal favorites on the album. It is produced and written by a stellar team and Jessica provides convincing attitude and vocal delivery; all in all, it is sure fire y2k pop bop. What do you think? Tell me what it's gonna be!
