Dear God yessss 😍

Well there goes me listening to it then, I only ever listen to Victoria's superior version!

Yeah I need them to tell us more about Wannabe's lyrics!

Forever is my favourite Spice Girls album!

Happy 25th anniversary! Also, ugh, 25 years since they last released an album. I still remember being so excited to get the CD, wanting my parents to take me to the shops after school finished on Monday, but for some reason they wouldn't and said we could tomorrow, I was stroppy about it, and for that they made me wait until Wednesday lol. 12 year old me actually had a decent first impression of the album, and Wasting My Time was an instant favourite. I remember playing it and saying to my mum it was my new favourite song, and she said something like "well if that's your favourite than that mustn't say much for the rest of the album" - omg! No taste x I'll always maintain that it's a very good album, better than many will give it credit for. Fantastic production, some of their best vocal performances, and there are great catchy hooks throughout. Maaaybe the track list order could do with some work, and for sure it should have had different artwork to represent it. Also sometimes I feel like it really should have been their fourth album, that there should have been an album between Spiceworld and Forever that helped to bridge the gap in the change of sound.

It is out on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6GWUM9PihEcMCfNX49aMrB?si=MYQUBBIGTImJxqaRyDbuGg

Damn... the single versions are so much better... But I guess the album versions have amassed more streams over the years which is probably why they have included those instead... I shall be downloading the EP though, when it becomes available to download. And hopefully this will increase their Christmas visibility more on streaming platforms, and one day (LOL) they will do a vinyl/CD release of it

They've included the album length versions, and for 2 Become 1 that means it's the Geri rather than Victoria version.

Happy birthday to Forever 🖤 However maligned by the press and the fandom in general (and the industry at the time), it remains one of their best albums in my opinion. Songs like Holler, Tell Me Why, Wasting My Time, Let Love Lead The Way, If You Wanna Have Some Fun, Oxygen and Goodbye all in one album? All gorgeous, perfect songs. Even songs like Get Down With Me and Right Back At Ya could have been singles, with the right single-mix treatment done to them. What are your favourites of this album? And what are your least favourites? Which songs would you wish had been singles? And what type of video would you have given it? Anyway, make sure to stream/download it today and buy the new vinyl 😜

hhhmmm naaa... I would rather proper new music with new producers.

It just occurred to me… If the Spice Girls were to record a brand new original Christmas song and release it as an Amazon Original, they could achieve their 4th Christmas #1! Biff is no stranger to Christmas songs, as he’s behind Leona's One More Sleep. It would be the perfect way to release new music without the pressure of it underperforming. What do you all think?

Notice how the previous line in Wannabe goes: "You got G like MC who likes it on a" On a what?

Agree with the sentiments here. I will buy it/download it/stream it but yeah they could be a bit more inventive I guess... It does make sense to release it as part of the Forever25 'era' as it includes Goodbye which was a Christmas #1 and technically from that album as well... Just wish it would be more interesting than it clearly is. I do hope it does well for their Christmas classics in the end. 2 Become 1, Too Much and Goodbye always get a bit of a boost around this time and Christmas Wrapping as well, so fair play to them for finally putting them together. A vinyl would be a cute Christmas present, thats for sure!

Jennifer Coolidge is watching in the background. 😁

Agreed for sure, this could have been done a loooong time ago easily. Sigh it really is minimum effort from these ladies.

I think it's hilarious "Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady" 😂

I mean it makes total sense... to have done this 5 years ago! I'm really not at all bothered though, hopefully it give's them a streaming boost. They could have at the very least, included the Christmas songs from the Earls Court dates though, they clearly recorded them at the time...

While this release does feel like a kick in the teeth, in a year in which we were hoping/praying for Forever outtakes (wow, they really did mean "we just aren't able to give you that", huh)... ...the concept of this EP is something I'd thought of in the past, as something that could be a good idea for their streaming at this time of year. To have their Christmas related tracks consolidated in one place, it could draw more attention to the tracks than usual. I'd hope that the EP being a new release would perhaps get them added to some festive playlists. Do we know if it's just download/streaming? A physical release could be cute...

What the hell, sure... I hope they AT LEAST bothered to do some Christmas mixes for the 3 singles...

Ginger Spice killed this band.. She never should have left, ans then they woulda had an actual Xmas album.

What a joke!

Christmas has come early this year: Universal will be releasing a Christmas-themed EP titled Spice Up Your XMAS this Friday. Tracklisting: 1. Christmas Wrapping 2. 2 Become 1 3. Too Much 4. Goodbye 5. Sleigh Ride

As an anti-monarchy, I think that is a really disgusting turn of events, actually... I hate how much they lick the monarchy's ass...

With David Beckham having now received a knighthood, Victoria Beckham will now be officially known as Lady Beckham.

It looks really cute: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQoz-HRjFro/
