Passion is the third studio album by English pop singer Geri Halliwell, released on 6 June, 2005) in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Canada. Two singles were released from the album, "Ride It" and "Desire", which both made the UK top 30. Critics praised Halliwell's improved voice [2] but the album was a commercial failure, peaking at no.41 and charting for only one week on the UK album chart.[3]
Tracks for the album were recorded over an extended period between 2001 and 2004 with a number of producers. Songs co-written by Halliwell during her period which did not appear on the final album include "100% Pure Love", "Set Me Off",[4] "Geri's Got Her Groove Back",[5]"Turn It On".[6]
Halliwell originally wanted to record the track "Some Girls" (written by Richard X and Hannah Robinson) for the album, but the track was given to Rachel Stevens instead who had a Top 3 hit with it in 2004.
