I can’t say she’s someone I’m particular checking for these days but I’m so glad I gave this a listen because it’s great.

Feels very Jodie Harsh/Purple Disco Machine remix coded which I feel makes sense because she’s been doing the London queer circuit and shit loads of Prides for the last decade where that sound is quite prominent. It’s mature without feeling boring, it makes sense with her sporty brand. Really good release, if you ask me!

holding well on itunes chart (obs low sales but still)

I’m not insinuating it was all down to me… but I downloaded the video on iTunes and it’s now #1 🤣 🤣

Just popping in to say... this is an actual banger cheer

Been a while since she gave us something like this, fun and simple.

Melanie, Shaznay Lewis, Ashley Roberts, Sheridan Smith and Rebel Wilson dancing to Sweat:

The YouTube video is 13k away from 500k and the song will be well over 400k on Spotify when it updates. Very happy with these numbers. I have high hopes for this era

I've got an idea for your Instagram. Check your DMs. ;)

^ Oh wow. I really liked that performance.

I'm one of the people who was iffy on the single choice when it came out, so now I've had a bit of time to think on it. I still prefer everything from the Melanie C album era...but I do have to say I really like Sweat's music video...and I also like how all-in Mel was with this performance. So. We are getting some really good stuff from Sweat.

I guess some of my hangup with Sweat is it reminds me a bit of latter-career Madonna (I'm also a big fan of her). It's not so much that Sweat sounds like her. It's something else. Madonna's been big on defying expectations around being an older artist in music, and she's right for that. Why would you have to just up and turn into Joni Mitchell after 40? Buuut. In her fight against ageism, Madonna's released a lot of songs that are the most simplistic/shallow of her career.

Now. To be fair, Sweat isn't as bad a situation as, say, Madonna's Vulgar or Material Gworrllllllll. And we also don't know if the songwriting simplicity of Sweat represents the full album. Mel may have just wanted to do something pure fun. So. Still looking forward to the album. And if I'm being honest, even if Sweat's not among my favorite of Mel's singles...it does have me more interested in the upcoming album than other lead singles Here It Comes Again and The Moment You Believe did.

The song has gone up to #3 on Australian i-Tunes, not heard anything about any streaming effect though.

I really liked that performance, still not totally sold on the song really but it is growing on me more and more. It's her weakest lead single for me but also her most commercial in a long time too. The video is incredible and I love that she is going all out with the theming.

Jennifer Coolidge is watching in the background. 😁
