N°35 LEANN RIMES - CAN'T FIGHT THE MOONLIGHT

Sorry I'm a bit late with the next link but then I've been picking music for a different cause this week. Anyway here we go.

Quutamo is Finnish for Moonlight and since I thought Coyote Ugly is quite an ok movie it reminded me this song fits in perfectly. i'm quite disappointed though that none of my readers/listeners knew any Finnish. shame on you people !!!

LeAnn is an American country singer who started her career at the age of thirteen. Quite young and so she made a numerous number of albums so far in her career. Her first fame came with the song How Do I Live from her third album. This song was actually recorded for the movie Con Air with Nicolas Cage and it was written especially for LeAnn. But her version of the song didn't fit the movie and so Trisha Yearwood re-recorded the same song for the movie and was released back in 1997. LeAnn got wind of the release and released at the same time her recording of the same song. Both became succesfull but LeAnn's was more succesfull than Trisha's. Her name was set.

After this first succes she disappeared from the spotlights. Her fourth album wasn't all that succesfull but she struck back in 2000 with the Coyote Ugly song which you can find here. It was a major over the whole world.



She was a star in country mids but felt a bit compromised in that same scene and tried to change her sound with her following album Twisted Angel. Most songs were written by herself and from this moment on she developed her talent as a song writer. Twisted Angel is her most poppy album and by fans mainly considered as her best album but it didn't get the success it deserved.

Success left the building with little steps for LeAnn and she returned to her country roots with her 2005 album called This Woman. The success returned. Only 29 years old she produced about 15 full albums so far and I'm pretty sure more will follow.
