Thinking back to the spice girls early days, people criticised them for being a pop band, their first 2 albums sold millions worldwide. Since geri left the band and a 'break' was taken. After this they came back with a the number 1 double a-side Holler/Let Love Lead The Way. Yet this album seemed to have fairly poor sales. I was shocked as this is one of the best albums i own. The new sound wasn't the spice girls, i don't think people like the mature spice girls, yet this RnB flavoured pop is far from being dull and not catchy. Lack of promotion from the girls has lead to this being a disaster.
Tracks such as 'Holler', 'Tell me why' and 'Right Back Atcha' have a stronger RnB feel, with the majority of tracks being produced by RnB genius' whp have worked with bands such as destiny's child. Others such as 'wasting my time' and 'get down with me' have a more disco/pop feel to them. Half the album is ballads which i think the girls do their best at, they can become timeless classics. 'time goes by' and 'oxygen' are just tear jerking love songs, the lyrics are superb. The best tracks come towards the end of the album, 'oxygen' a southing ballad and 'if u wanna have some fun' a funky old school track, both being produced by jam and lewis are some of the highlights. another ballad 'weekend love' has a slight Backstreet boys style to it.
Overall this is a great album and it's a shame it's done so badly.
