Y2K POP UNIVERSE

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 [https://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.

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.

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 [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
