Not too sure after the first listen, unfortunately. Hope it's a a grower for me!

On first listen it's an absolute banger. Love it just as much as Who I Am.
Yes Melanie. Give us what we want! |

I really like it, a few listens and I'm hooked. Not sure I'd rate it over WIA but its still a solid track!

The video is out... it's very different for a Melanie C video
 love all the little references to her past songs Going down, Too much, Goodbye, 2 become 1, Stupid game etc etc etcI can really see the album being called Who I Am both the singles so far have had lots of references to Melanie through the ages. Still don't think the song is as strong as Who I am however the chorus is totally stuck in my head! This post has been edited by Spiceboy: 27th May 2020, 11:59 AM |

- My strongest suit - Go - Protected - You’ll get yours - Who do you think you are - Weak - Stop - Too much - 2 become 1 - Go (again – no pun intended to song haha) - Move over - Get out of here - You’ll get yours (again – no pun intended… again) - Here it comes again - Move over (again) - Too much (again) - Your mistake - Stop (again) - Going down - Goodbye - Never be the same again - Go (again) - Weak (again) - Here it comes again (again) - Too much (again) - Going down (again) - Too much (again) - Never say never - Stupid game - Goodbye (again) |

3/3 this era, another wonderful song
The dark-dance-pop sound is always a winner *.*Is Version Of Me anything like this era? I love Anymore but I’ve never delved into anything else from that era. |

The video is a dream come true for me as spice fan, anime enthusiast and 90's child. Yes yes yes!

Otherwise I’m not sure, the vibe of the album is quite downtempo even though it has electronic production... but there’s not many bops! |

I love Anymore but I’ve never delved into anything else from that era. Not really, the album is more slow electronica Anymore is the most dance track on there I think. I still like the album a lot though personally, Escalator, Anymore, Something for the fire, Numb, Loving you better and Blame are all fantastic for me. Then Version of me, Room for love and Unravelling are great too. The only tracks I'm not keen on are Dear life (the opening track) and Out history. |

I love Anymore but I’ve never delved into anything else from that era. 'Version of Me' is a bit more chilled. But there are similarities with the types of sounds used. I'd recommend 'Escalator', 'Version of Me' and 'Blame'. But 'Numb' is the closest thing to a dance track. This post has been edited by Michael Andrew: 27th May 2020, 12:37 PM |

Thanks guys, I'm curious now. Will have to give a listen sometime x
I'd rank the songs as: 1. Who I Am 2. Blame It On Me 3. High Heels |

See if you can spot three of the other Spice Girls and Natalie Imbruglia in Room for love (I personally think this one needs a bit more of a beat tbh) Think Loving you better is my favourite album track, it's so smooth |

That's a very enjoyable video!
She's really pushing the boat out with her creativity in this era. As an artist she's coming across very refreshed and energised. She could very easily have stayed in the lane she was in, but it's clear she's feeling inspired and having fun with her music. It's great to see her like this, at this stage of her career!

She's had so many ho hum videos, I'm really glad she's been going the high-concept route for the last several. Looks like she's got a good collaborator in this director...someone who knows how to be creative with a limited budget.
I like the idea behind this one, and it's got some cute bits...but I still think there's a bit of missed opportunity. Certainly they could have had some fun with Melanie/Sam fighting in the office...wreaking havoc in such a dull environment...papers flying everywhere as typically-bored workers are jolted from their routine to watch the chaos in stunned silence. When I watched the first time...I thought this was the direction they were headed. But no. They used the office set for Melanie/Sam...but didn't really go anywhere with it? If the video were telling a story, the first two rounds probably should have been within the realm of the arcade game...and then the surprise be that they've been thrust into the real world to do their final battle in the office. Right? Or maybe I'm just really overthinking this. Anyway. Song's fab. I'm into it. |

Actually really good and strong song, I definitely prefer Who I Am but it's far superior to High Heels and 2nd banger in a row. Wonder when an album will be out
