Author: Right Back At Ya! June 3, 2026 Duration: 1:04:23
Since we've had a prelude to a "Sweat"-y Summer courtesy of Our Melanie C; it would be crazy and utterly 'ga ga' to not celebrate the most successful Solo Spice Girl album of all time: "Northern Star".Spice, Sporty and Pop fans unite because we are giving you an epic two-parter of Mel's iconique debut solo album, which soared between 1999 and 2001, with a string of global hit singles including two UK No.1s 'Never Be The Same' feat. Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes and 'I Turn To You'. This zesty Part One high kicks the journey off in 1998 into 1999 as we follow Melanie's brewing solo career; from the neo-industrial punk rage of 'Goin' Down' to the tender and autobiographical 'Northern Star' single and our album highlights, b-sides, live performances, fashion and style moments. Where Spice Girls were on a hiatus; Melanie C was certainly going for gold, writing and recording with a string of established dead edgeh hitmakers behind records for Madonna's "Ray of Light", Björk, Massive Attack and more.Stay tuned for Part Two coming real soon!
