The entire album seems to have been pulled from Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, and the like. Did I miss something? What happened?

Maybe she's trying to push the physical stock of the album? :lol:

It is still in the UK store

Do you guys think Room for love is the last single .

^ I wonder! Personally, I'm not sure I see her going further with this era. I'm kind of surprised she's released Room for Love now actually, given how long it was since Hold On and the tour!

This came out a year ago! :o

 

A year on, what do you all think of 'Version of Me'? What are your favourite tracks? Are you happy with the singles run or not?

A year on the album has gone down in my estimations tbh. I love Melanie but I feel like the album is a bit of a chore to get through it's a bit ploddy. Some great moments and most tracks are good on their own but I get a bit bored after listening to half of it in one go. When it first came out I had it down as her 3rd best album but now I'd probably say it's my least favourite after Stages (although I don't think it is her weakest album as I do think the tracks are all strong on their own).

 

1. Northern Star

2. The Sea

3. Beautiful Intentions

4. This Time

5. Reason

6. Version Of Me

7. Stages

I've always said as with the last 2 albums (I discount Stages exists) that her albums are 3 or 4 good tracks and then the rest is woe is me MOR shit. I could make a great 12 track album from TT, TS and VOM.

 

The positive from VOM is the production is better and more interesting, which is good but it just proves the songwriting and subject matter are the problems.

Version Of Me is not her best work but it is still a solid album! I think after we heard Numb and Anymore we were all very excited bout the rest of the album . Melanie kept referring to it as her most electronic album so I was hoping for more upbeat material .

 

I think it's a shame Numb wasn't pushed more .

 

Anymore , Numb & Blame are my fav tracks .

 

I really hope we get to here Peter Vetesse production for Blame one day !!

 

Oh and Hold On was a big mistake ! The only Melanie single that doesn't grip

me whatsoever . To think she spent money on this video ! This and Better Alone - worst single choices of her career when you compare to material that could have been chosen !

I actually think hold on was a great choice and if it had been with Matt Cardle or James Walsh or someone who is actually a name out there (James Bay, James Arthur, Niall Horan, Chris Martin etc) it would have done a lot better as she would have had more opportunities to promote it which she simply doesn’t get on her own.

^ no way

Hold on is crap.

Very good megamix! :wub:

 

I’ve listened to my first solo Spice album and I’m impressed :cheeseblock: I’d only heard Anymore but Dear Life, Escalator, Numb, Our History and Blame were all LOVE and there was nothing bad really. Looking forward to getting into it more 👀

Ooh, your solo Spice journey has begun! Good picks for your fave tracks *.*

 

I haven't heard Version of Me in full for a while actually, I need to revisit it.

Blame is sublime !!

Version of Me was released 4 years ago this week (21st Oct '16), and its final single 'Room for Love' was released 3 years ago (20th Oct '17)!

 

I listened to this album a few days ago.

 

I did enjoy it.

 

But it’s still my least fav album by her (not including stages).

It was an okay album for me.

 

Room For Love is one of the best songs in her discography. I have never stopped playing that song.
