Free Music Review: The Spice Return That Never Got A Chance...
Hit: 5 Stars
What can I say about this album? It's a masterpiece that never got a chance. The Spice girls made this amazing pop/r&b sound a year before Nsync got the credit for it. That's right Nsync got credit for doing a pop/r&b album and radio loved it, but what many seem to forget is the Spice Girls made this sound and Nsync just stole it, if not from the Spice Girls than the Backstreet Boys because the Spice Girls did an album full of the songs and BsB did a few pop/r&b songs of their own, but as I said above Nsync got the credit.
Now I'm not gonna ramble on about Nsync, but I will say that the main reason this album flopped was because it got little to no promotion, and of course the fact that Geri left, but they still managed a great album and some great songs without her that were VERY radio friendly, Virgin records just wanted to suck what little money they could get out of the girls with spending as little money as possible to promote the record. I'm not sure how well the promotion was for this album in the UK or other countries for that matter, but in the US everyone I know didn't even know they had a new album coming out, and those who did, didn't know when it was being released. I personaly never heard "Holler" Or "Let Love Lead The Way" on the radio, and the only place I ever saw both videos was on Much Music and "Holler" was on the TRL countdown for a short time. I do believe had the girls been backed by Virgin Records then this album would have done better.
Now onto a review on the songs!
1. Holler 10/10 - A great dance track... This track should have been #1 on the billboards, but sadly didn't get that chance. If you listen to the words it's a bit sexual, but it's more fun than anything.
2. Tell Me Why 10/10 - This should have def. been a single. I believe it would have been cosidering promo singles got sent out to radio. This song is clearly about Geri, it's a funky R&B/Dance song. I love this one as much as "Holler" if not more. This one clearly stands out on the album.
3. Let Love Lead The Way 10/10 - A great mid-tempo ballad with a great beat, this was the 2nd single, but was released on a double a-side single with "Holler". This could have really been a big hit for them.
4. Right Back At Ya 10/10 - Another favorite of mine, this actually used to be my favorite song on the album, until I overplayed it lol! This is a funky R&B song basically saying that the girls are back, my favorite moment in this song is when Mel B does her rap about the girls being back, it rox! This also had a radio sound, probably would have made a single also.
5. Groove With Me 6/10 - Well this is actually a favorite of alot of people that I've let listen to my copy of 'Forever'. I personaly don't care to much for the beat, it's really funky. I gave it a 6 out of a 10 b/c it's a good song, just I really don't care to much for it. The chorus is really good though and the girls vocals aren't bad either.
6. Wasting My Time 5/10 - Now this is the only other song on the album I don't care to much for. I guess as I said before the beats a little to funky for me lol and I don't feel it goes that great with the girls vocals. In my opinion Victorias vocals go the best with this song because her voice is best with this kind of music.
7. Weekend Love 10/10 - Another favorite of mine off the album... It's a mid-tempo song, starts off like a ballad and is pretty slow until the end where Mel B breaks out in a rap. It's original sounding and could have def. been a radio hit for the girls.
8. Time Goes By 10/10 - Well this is a really nice ballad off the album, the girls all have great vocals on the album. This would have made a great video, but probably a little to slow for radio, I don't think it would have picked up. All of the girls vocals shine on this song, but Mel B in my opinion owns this one when she sings her part.
9. If You Wanna Have Some Fun 8/10 - Hm well this ones really different and good to, but not a favorite of mine, but I usually find myself listening to it when I listen to the cd. It's a really good song with a great beat and but I don't feel it would have been a single, so I give it an 8 out of a 10. The one thing that stands out on this song is the chorus and the beat.
10. Oxygen 10/10 - I LOVE this song, it's probably my favorite ballad off the album, it's just so soothing. I really enjoy listening to this song when I have the album out. The girls vocals sound so good on here especially when they sing the chorus together, I can't say who owns this song because I feel like they all do!
11. Goodbye 10/10 - What can you say about the song that said 'Goodbye' to the infamous Ginger Spice? It's a great song and will def. go down as one of their greatest singles!
That's my thoughts on this album, I think if you like R&B and PoP music than this is an album for you, and if you like ballads, theres a few on here for you! I do want to add that the girls did an amazing job on this album and for that they get mad respect from me for doing such a great album. Though in most of the songs on this cd you can tell where Geri would have sung, it's almost like they left a spot open for her return one day. I guess if they ever do have a reunion, than theres plenty of room to add Geri's vocals on each song if they did a reunion tour! Hope my review helped!
