 Her best yet! July 9, 2005

Geri Halliwell's latest cd, "Passion", is in my opinion her best yet. Her voice seems to have softened and the brash voice that you hear in her 1999 song "Look at me" is nowhere to be found on Passion. Here are my thoughts on Geri Halliwell's latest effort:
1. Passion-I like this song. It reminds me of a Billie Holiday swing type of song. The song is a low key slow song.
2.Desire- the beginning of the song reminds me of a James Bond type of song. I love it. Mid-tempo.
3.Love never loved me- This one is probably my favorite so far. I love the lines, "You can't break a heart that's already broken, you can't steal a heart that already stolen, My greastest desire is to love and to be loved". Mid-tempo.
4. Feel the fear- this is a good slower song. The song title comes from a book that in the past, Geri has talked about,"Feel the fear and do it anyway". She dedicated the song to "5 little girls in a Fiat Uno", which die hard Spice Girls fans know that when the girls left their first managers that put the group together, they went on their own in a Fiat Uno to ask a songwriter to work with them even though they just their managers. The song has a Girl Power type of feel to it.
5.Superstar-a good pop song. I like it. Up-tempo.
6.Surrender your groove-another good pop song, I like this song better than Superstar.
7.Ride it-the first single. After Love never loved me this is my favorite song. It's a good song to listen on the way to a club. Up-tempo.
8.There's always tomorrow-a slow song, it has a summery feel to it. It's an alright song but not one of my favorites.
9.Let me love you more-my third favorite song.The whole song has a sweet feel to it, it's a good song to listen to if you're in love. mid-tempo.
10.Don't get any better-a cheeky song.I like it. Up-tempo.
11.Loving me back to life- a slow song. The piano part in it is beautiful. A very good song and I like it.
12.So I give up on love-another cheeky song. It has a swing type of feel to it. I love the descriptions of the men, it's quite funny and a good way to end the cd. I like this song a lot.
If you were a Spice Girls fan and even if you weren't, if you are a fan of pop, then this cd is for you. I truly think that this is her best yet.

Geri Halliwell's career has been nothing short of exciting. She sold over 35 million albums with the Spice Girls. Had 7 number one singles with the group. Four #1's on her own, and has written two biographies, had 2 Yoga dvd's, and has been a judge on a couple tv shows. This year, Geri is back with best album yet. It's her first release since 2001's "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster". But it seems this time, her album is not only going to be good, but better than her last two. "Schizophonic" was a great cd that showed she could make it on her own. The songs were safe, but showed her tiny, but strong range. That gave her 3 of her #1 singles. "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster" however, saw her branch out more with her music. She had lost a lot of weight and did a lot of yoga. This made her more active, but made an album that you could work out to. It was less successful as "Schizophonic", but still produced the biggest selling #1 single of hers "It's Raining Men"(featured on the soundtrack for "Bridget Jones's Diary"). It also sold 500,000 copies in the US, making it the biggest selling import of 2001 in the US. "Passion" is described as an album that goes through the extreme emotions of passion. Love, sex, fear, and excitement. Her first single "Ride It" was a very catchy dance song that reached #4 on the UK charts, and had a very campy video to go a long with it. It is a very catchy song that really is the new Geri. Her second single "Desire" is a very sensual song whose music video tells the story of an office girl who has a secret and desires her boss, whom she fanticizes about. Very cute video, and the song is very different for Geri, but is great. Other songs that are very good are "Love Never Loved Me" which is kind of a bittersweet song and about not finding the right person. It's a very catchy Kylie'esk song that I think is planning on being one of her singles. I find myself singing it from time to time when I don't have the album with me. "Let Me Love You More" really shiows how Geri voice has matured. She took singing lessons to try to help with her voice, and had some surgery on her throat which really improved the stength of her voice. This song is extremely pretty and just really.....nice. "Superstar" is a catchy dance number that isnt as good as her past singles "Bag It Up", but is a still the new version of that catchy fun type of song. One of the best songs though, is the last track on the album "So I gave up on love". This song is completely Geri. Just like in "Scream...", this is her funny track on the album, which is talks about her past relationships and how some got bitchy, and liked to wear her pink underwear. "So I gave up on love, I guess I've had enough, and I don't give a f***. What can I do?". It was a very jazzy vibe that she uses on the title track "Passion", which has a very beautiful intrumental sound in the background. On June 11th 2005, the ranking for this album on Amazon.com was 494. That struck me as funny and excited. Earlier this year Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) released her second album "Free Me" to the US, which is technically her debut if you are American. The album barely even reached the 800's on Amazon...and it was actually released to America. Geri's "Passion" is only an IMPORT. Hmm. Who's album is doing better? I think that it is shown that Geri has talent after all, and can still spice up everyone's life.
A healthy dose of Passion! May 10, 2006

Geri Halliwell's "Passion" is, I believe, her best effort yet. It starts with the light jazz of the title track and never lets go. The singles "Desire" and "Ride It" are instant classics. The album also contains some beautiful slower songs, especially "Feel the Fear." A great pop record that deserved a much higher chart position as well as full-fledged release in the U.S. Highly recommended.
Passion is a good buy... June 12, 2005

Geri's latest is a good buy for the hardcore fans and also new ones. This album spreads her range of pop songs from fun catchy tunes to more mature melodies. Although the album didn't pack the punch like her previous two did, sales wise, Geri is still holding strong as her talent is still blooming. Here's my take on the songs:
1. Passion- Cute, sexy little song that can only be sung in a dimly lighted jazz club while laying on a piano. Perfect for her husky vocals.
2. Desire- 2nd single; Different sound, but a good song, you might have to listen to it again to get used to it. It had to grow on me.
3. Love Never Loved Me- Same message as Cher's "Believe"; sad song, but it's a dance song. It's catchy and rumored to be the 3rd single, though it should have been the 2nd. Very "cruisable" kind of music. Definitely one of my favorites.
4. Feel the Fear- Ok song. Reminded me of "Calling" from 'Scream If You Wanna Go Faster."
5. Superstar- Not her best. In my opinion, this should have been left off the album. Bad lyrics and not very catchy.
6. Surrender Your Groove- It took a couple of listens to be able to "get" the song, and by that I mean sing along and enjoy it. The title makes it sound like a club song, but that.. it isn't. But still a good song.
7. Ride It- 1st single. GREAT song. Perfect for Geri's personality. Lyrics are great & the video is hilarious, done in good ol' Geri style.
8. There's Always Tomorrow- Beautiful song. I'm not sure what genre it would be, I'm guessing slow samba. Slow & perfect for summer; laying on the beach or cruisin'.
9. Let Me Love You More- Another beautiful ballad. REALLY shows of Geri's vocal talent. Producing and lyrics were perfect.
10. Don't Get Any Better- Another that could've been left off the album. Tongue in cheek lyrics. Although this song is the best on the album for REALLY showing off Geri's vocal talent.
11. Loving Me Back To Life- Very good ballad. Kinda sad though, but it's great. 3rd best ballad on the album.
12. So I Give Up On Love- One of the best songs Geri has ever done. Really funny and well sung. Good closer for the album.
All in all, Geri's Passion was good. Not her best though. Take a listen in the sample section, and test for yourself. But I still think that non-Geri fans will like it. It's definitely worth the buy.

I love this album, I wasn't sure about buying it at first so I bought the Desire single first with the remixes and I enjoyed it.
My favorite songs on the album are Desire, Ride It, Love Never Loved me, Surrender Your Groove, and Don't Get Any Better. I played the album over a BBQ I was having and received a great repsonse from my guests; some of them couldn't beleive that it was Geri. I hope everyone enjoyes this album as much as I do.
