Thoughts? I really think it's a pretty song and one of the best Spice ballads.
AWFUL song in every way, not to mention it killed her career instantly, who the fuk wants a song 4 Baby Mel? They didn't even want urban Mel, less so MUMSY Mel Beh. I would die to see the execs faces in the office when this was decided as a single over the rest of the album (Mind you, the album was absolute dog shit). I'll never get over the fact this was released over Hotter or Pack Your Shit
Poor Mel's career must have been the most frustrating one; Victoria we all know was going through the motions and everything about her screamed contractual obligation and the minute she got out of it she escaped, but at least Scary showed some passion and ambition in the business. Her debut album collabs sound like a fever dream for any millennial music fan: Teddy Riley, Sisqo, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Jam & Lewis, Darkchild, they mustn't have come cheap back then, and were getting mid returns.
At least she found her niche doing Reality TV so good for her.
Someone pls find that hilarious clip where she thinks she’s beating Kylie in the mids and she goes on about how CGYOOMH is actually not a very good songI do love the consistent rewriting that Victoria never was interested when she was probably the most DESPERATE FOR A HIT OF THE LOT![]()
But !!!! She has such a DRY SENSE OF HUMOUR!!!!!I do love the consistent rewriting that Victoria never was interested when she was probably the most DESPERATE FOR A HIT OF THE LOT![]()

Distinctive voice
I mean, outside of I Want You Back there is nothing I ever go back to as far as this solo Spice is concerned.
Beb, I was only talking about Mel Beh there.Same but add in When You're Gone, Mi chico Latino, What took you so long? at a stretch. I would stream Let your head go too if that stuck-up bitch wasn't blocking the upload.
I quite like Today from LA State of Mind in a background music sunny Sunday morning kind of way.![]()

Yep, that’s what I thought.

I'm so relieved pop music songwriting has improved HEAPS since the faraway days of Solo Spice efforts. It must be very rare for a group to "break up" and all members get a solo deal, when was the last time that happened? One Direction or some K-pop band that I'm not aware of? It must have cost a pretty penny back then to keep all the girls afloat when none of them were raking it; I would guess that 1D's initial deals must have been dirt cheap but worked so well, especially Harry's, that they must be worth millions by now.
My biggest issue with the girls is that they were overworked, exhausted, sick of each other, and didn't want anything to do with the band anymore but to big up their egos when they were all clearly mid at best was foolish on Virgin's end mixed with some of the most stupid and baffling choices led by their irrational logic, case in point releasing Lullaby as a third(!) single by the time the album wasn't even charting anymore and you were on the brink of being dropped but omg you just had your baby and you want everyone to know about it.
Mid? MID? WHAT ABOUT THEIR TALANT!!they were all clearly mid at best
Mid? MID? WHAT ABOUT THEIR TALANT!!
Little Mix seem to have all gone on to solo deals too. Clearly record companies still have money to burn…
