Wannabe still sounds like no other song, it's truly a one off. The video is the perfect embodiment of the song too. What a debut.

Track 2: Say You'll Be There



They got it so right by releasing this as the second single. An incredible video too!

SYBT seemed so cool to me as a kid and still does now. They nailed the video too. Cemented them as the hottest act.

Say You’ll Be There the best single from Spice for me. The video is absolutely amazing and iconic

Track 3: 2 Become 1



Such a gorgeous track and video. A Christmas #1 and selling an insane amount of copies first week... iconic! I appreciate the lyric change, and nice that Victoria got a moment.

2 Become 1 is a stunning ballad which always keeps reminding me of winter 1996.

Awwwww 2 become 1, so lush. Just what they needed a proper balled that was timeless, nailed it again. Another stunning visual to go with it.

Track 4: Mama



It's a lovely song, always such a sweet moment on tour. Spice Girls nailing the Mother's Day market with this anthem though cheeseblock.png

I adore Mama, the live version is always beautiful. I prefer the album version to single version, I love the building choir ending. The video is OK. I love the lyric video that was released this year.
