Irresistible (Jessica Simpson Album)
''Irresistible'' is the second studio album by American recording artist Jessica Simpson, released on May 25, 2001, through Columbia Records. Simpson, who began working on the project in July 2000, contacted already established writers and producers to collaborate on the project, including Cory Rooney, Rodney Jerkins, and Walter Afanasieff. In contrast to her debut album '' Sweet Kisses'' (1999), which included more ballads, ''Irresistible'' explored hip hop and R&B genres of music. Simpson described the material as " Mariah Carey meets Britney Spears", indicating the soulfulness of the songs as well as their contemporary appeal.
