Speaking to Billboard.com Spice Girl Melanie C. revealed that she'll be releasing her latest album This Time in North America this coming April under her own Red Girl imprint.
She said "When I was released from my contract with Virgin, I had options, I could attempt to sign with another major. I could go with an independent or start my own label."
"And having experience with a major label, it was nice to be able to do the exact opposite and own the copyright to my songs," she continues. "I was very fortunate with the Spice Girls; financially, I was able to set up my own label and finance my own record."
Melanie's solo efforts aren't well known in North America yet except by hardcore fans. This Time follows the succes of her solo debut Northern Star in 1999 which was amazing and sold close to 3 million units worldwide. Her next two albums Reason in 2003 and Beautiful Intentions in 2005 were not released in the US.
Melanie describes the style of This Time as "mature pop". The first single off the album will be "Carolyna" which tells the story of a young runaway.
Aparently she's also planning to tour in the U.S. and Canada in support of the album's release.
I'm sooo there!!
Watch the "Carolyna" video below:
Yeah, yeah, you're welcome.
The Spice Girls ended their comeback tour last night here in Toronto and I was there!! It was the most AMAZING concert I've ever been to. It was totally worth the ten year wait for their reunion!
The Girls opened strongly with two upbeat, dance-happy numbers, Spice Up Your Life and Stop. Other hightlights were the sexy, white feather fan-enhanced Two Become One, the Flamenco-inspired Viva Forever and the black leather/S&M- drenched Holler.
The Girls brought their kids up on stage during Mama and little Cruz Beckham made an impromptu headspinning breakdance.
Two songs into the show Emma said "Okay, this is going to be an emotional one guys -- it already is,"
"I was already crying before we came up," responded Posh.
"As you know, this is the last night of the tour, we never dreamt we'd get back together and be such a success, and who knows if we'll ever get back together again, so tonight is a special night, let's enjoy every minute of it," said Geri.
Later in the night Mel B. said "You're the best audience ever,".
"I have fallen in love with Toronto, I give my heart to Toronto," said Geri.
"We've got some great fans all over the world, but nothing like here in Toronto," added Posh.
"I'm going to find you a boyfriend here later," said Mel B. to single mom Geri, and she later strapped down a male fan picked out of the audience and did a sexy dance around him during her whip-wielding solo cover of Lenny Kravitz's Are You Gonna Go My Way.
Unfortunately Posh didn't sing a solo but instead did a fierce catwalk down the stage to Rupaul's Supermodel (You Better Work) and she sure worked it, snap, snap, snap!
Emma performed her solo to one of my favourite songs of hers Maybe.
Melanie C. did an amazing solo with lasers and all to I Turn To You one of her greatest hits . She's still the voice of the Spice Girls. Towards the end she also impressed everyone by doing her famous backflip and tumble, at age 34!
All the Girls were great in their solos but the one that really got the crowd going was definitely Geri's hilarious version of It's Raining Men where the group's 10 male dancers whipped off their shirts amid blasts of steam, strobe lights and lightning imagery.
At the end of the concert they hugged and kissed a lot. They thanked their crew, dancers, families and most importantly their fans for their continued support throughout the years. And yes I did shed one or two tears throughout the night.
The whole concert rocked and was wayyy above all my expectations. I hope they recorded it and release it on DVD. Thank you Jay for the tickets and for coming along! I had a blast!!
Did you get a chance to attend any of their tour dates? What did you think of it?
Update: Click here to watch video of Cruz breakdancing last night and Click here to watch Melanie C. do her backflip.
The Spice Girls recently announced they would officialy end their reunion tour on February 26th with their concert at Toronto's Air Canada Centre.
Thankfuly that's the concert date I'll be attending with my friend Jay!
Unfortunately for other fans the dates in Asia, South America, Africa and Australia have been canceled.
There have been many rumours going around as to why they've decided to end their tour so the Girls just released this video to clear things out and to apologize to their disapointed fans.
Here's the much anticipated video for "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" the new single by the Spice Girls.
I wasn't really feeling the song the first time I heard it's grown on me. The video is definitely changed my mind.
Check out Geri's abs! And look at Posh! The Girls still got it!
What do you think of their new song or video?
"The Moment You Believe" is the first single from Melanie C 's fourth album 'This Time'
I love how they video is one long single shot. Apparently a total of six takes were filmed, and the final product is the result of looking over those six and picking the best one.
