Passion (Geri Halliwell album)

Passion is the third studio album by English singer Geri Halliwell, released on 6 June 2005 by Innocent Records. Two singles were released from the album: "Ride It", which charted at number four, and "Desire", which charted at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart. Critics praised Halliwell's improved voice but the album was a commercial failure, peaking at number 41 with only 5,432 copies sold and charting for only one week on the UK Albums Chart. However, the album did manage to become a moderate hit worldwide, selling over half a million copies according to the Daily Mail.

Background

The album was originally titled Disco Sister with Halliwell focusing the album on electropop, EDM and Europop sounds. She recorded many songs between 2002 and 2004 with a number of producers. Songs recorded during this period that did not appear on the final album include "Set Me Off", "Turn It On", "Geri's Got Her Groove Back", "Disco Sister", "My Sweetest Pain", "Gimme Your Love" and a cover version of "100% Pure Love". But in 2004 EMI changed the focus of the album and the title to Passion, replacing most of the dance songs with ballads and pop-jazz sounds, including the new songs "Passion", "There's Always Tomorrow", "So I Give Up on Love" and the dance-pop "Desire" and "Surrender Your Groove".

Passion (music)

In Christian music a Passion is a setting of the Passion of Christ. Liturgically most Passions were intended to be performed as part of church services in the Holy Week.

Passion settings developed from intoned readings of the Gospel texts relating Christ's Passion since Medieval times, to which later polyphonic settings were added. Passion Plays, another tradition that originated in the Middle Ages, could be provided with music such as hymns, contributing to Passion as a genre in music.

While in Catholicism the musical development of Tenebrae services became more pronounced than that of Passion settings, Passion cantatas, and later Passions in oratorio format, most often performed on Good Friday, became a focal point in Holy Week services in Protestantism. Its best known examples, such as Bach's Passion settings, date from the first half of the 18th century.

Later musical settings of the Passion of Christ, such as the Jesus Christ Superstar Rock opera, or Arvo Pärt's Passio refer to these earlier Christian traditions in varying degree.
