Definitely a missed single opportunity :cry: What a bop! This should have been a single in summer 2001. This was always my favourite Hot album track :cool:

Track 6: Step Inside

Yes it should have been Feels So Good late 2000, Tell Me early 2001 followed by the album in Spring and then Hot in the Summer 2001.

Step Inside has grown on me and I think it's one of those quirkier tracks on the album. It's catchy.

P.S. For those who haven't joined. Shame on you :P

Track 7: ABC 123

 

Step Inside definitely has a catchy chorus :music:!

 

I remember finding ABC 123 forgettable... and I still feel that way during this listen of it!

 

 

Yeah I'm a bit :( that no one else ended up being around for this... maybe Friday wasn't the right day either. I guess we could always repeat this if members suggest a day/time they'd be up for it.

ABC 123 is a good album track but I always felt the production with the other vocals was a bit too much (Mel seemed more in the background)

Yes I'm going to keep going :wub:

 

But yes we should arrange another one for Sunday or something?

Track 8: I Believe

 

I Believe is one of my favourite album tracks :D

 

Is Emma signing in the background at all on this one? It sounds like her sometimes?

I actually quite like I Believe! It's kind of unusual and stands out.

It's quirky. Melanie never did just the typical R&B I do think she experimented a little.

Track 9: I Want You Back

 

The No.1, the original Mel B release from 1998. Still up there as one of my favourite Mel B tracks, but also one of the best solo tracks too.

I have to say, this album doesn't flow very well... I Want You Back initially sounds a bit jarring following on from I Believe :lol:

 

:wub: What a great song this is though. I feel like this song captures Mel's personality far better than most of the other tracks on this album.

 

I can't quite believe this is 22 years old tbh! :o

Yes I agree with the flow, that can be important for enjoying an album.

Track 10: Pack You Sh*t

 

I don't think this was the best song tbh, the chorus isn't Melanie's voice and the door sound effects are a bit dated.

I remember feeling a bit naughty listening to this song when I was 12... it is quite explicit :lol:

 

Even though the lyrics are quite feisty, sound-wise I feel like it's a bit generic / like another artist's cast off.
