As requested by a 'friend' I will listen and review 'Spiceworld' by the Spice Girls which I believe was the soundtrack to the movie of the same name and came out at the height of their fame in 1997.
'Spice up your life' gets the party started with a tropical upbeat vibe and catchy ridiculous lyrics. Not a bad song. 'Stop' is the second track and uses horns and harmonies to complement the dance which I seem to remember going along with it. A decent enough pop tune and it probably works quite well with the opening track at hen nights all over the world. 'Too much' is a smoochy ballad which is supposed to sound sexy but fails to do so. 'Saturday Night Divas' was never released as a single which marks it out as one of the weaker tracks. 'Never give up on the good times' tries hard to be funky and catchy but doesn't quite work. 'Move over' sounds like it should be used to sell cola of some sort. 'Do it' implores me to do it - not certain what. 'Denying' just passed me by without leaving any kind of lasting impression either way. 'The lady is a vamp' leans towards a Chicago (the musical) kind of feeling but feels too forced. 'Viva Forever' has classical guitar playing and a slightly latin vibe and is an understated ballad which has pleasant vocal harmonies.
Not something I'll likely listen to again of my own free will, but okay for what they were trying to do. Considering it sold something like 20 million copies around the world I'm sure the ladies won't lose any sleep over this review.
In answer to the inevitable questions: Geri 'Ginger' Spice.

Did I not suggest Spice Girls - the orginal album? I don't remember asking about Spice World though perhaps I did.
ReplyDeleteI think you should review the first album too just to make sure.
Can't do it as too much Spice Girls has been shown to cause tooth decay. Sorry.
