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 😜

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.

Forever is my favourite Spice Girls album!
