Yeah... their egos got in the way big time. Their solo careers really devastated the group's chances of success after 1999...

The forum listening party for the 'Forever' album will begin at 8:00pm / 20:00 BST! :cheer:

If you're able to, use your favourite streaming service to play it (it contributes to their sales)! This is optional though, if iTunes is better for you that's ok! I will also post YouTube links throughout the listening session. :cool:

 

I'm here! Intrigued about what's in store with this album but I'm trying not to have any preconceptions!

Ready to go :cheer:

Track 1: Holler

 

Holler was THE moment on tour last year, I've had such a huge amount of love for it since then!! :wub:

HERE and playing x

 

'Holler' is incredible and one of their best singles. Probably in my top 3 :o We have nothing but love for R hollier x

Welcome Liam :cheer:! This is certainly an interesting place to start your Spice journey :lol:

 

Hiya Joseph *___* Edit: and Bal!

Holler hasn’t aged and it’s always been a favourite. Definitely the best on the album

'Holler' is a decent track, but it's hard not to think they lost a lot of their identity with this one. What made 'Wannabe' so special was how different it was to anything else in the charts; 'Holler' jumps on the sound popularised by Destiny's Child/TLC.

Holler :wub: This was love at first listen for me. It certainly divides the fan base! It's actually in my Top 5 singles of theirs, argh! I find it so catchy.

 

As Joseph says, this was a MOMENT on the tour last year :wub:

 

One of their best music videos too! A great start to what would prove to be a very short era :o

Track 2: Tell Me Why

 

I use to find Tell Me Why just ok when the album came out and then I went off it. Now, I love it. It’s really grown on me over the last few years. Emma and Victoria really shine on this one.

Love Tell Me Why, especially the Thunderpuss Remix of it.

Tell My Why is brilliant! Sounds great coming after Holler too.

'Tell Me Why' is brilliant! It's my second favourite on the album :wub:

This one's pretty catchy, I'm liking the bass! :wub:

Holler hasn’t aged and it’s always been a favourite. Definitely the best on the album

Hi! :cheer: Completely agree with that, just ahead of Goodbye for me.

 

Tell Me Why is definitely one of the highlight tracks on the album for me. I feel like it would have made a good single, but the message of it (feelings of bitterness towards Geri) might have been a bit awkward for all of them once she returned to the group :lol: So probably for the best that it was left as a deep cut~. The Thunderpuss remix is a bit of a stomper too x

Track 3: Let Love Lead the Way

 

I loved LLLTW equally as much as Holler when they released the double a side single, but the live version of it on the 2019 tour made me fall in love with it even more and appreciate it.
