New Spice Girls song!
>> Spice W.O.M.A.N <<
They're back. Older and, er, wiser
Ten years ago this week, a record called
Wannabe was released. It became the biggest
selling debut single ever, was number one in 31
countries and unleashed a new plague on the
world, otherwise known as the Spice Girls.
Two years before the single release, thousands
of girls had answered an advert in The Stage,
"R U 18-23 with the ability to sing/dance? R
U streetwise, ambitious, outgoing and
determined?" Geri, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria and
Emma were eventually chosen.
All five have refused to take part in
interviews marking this 10th anniversary but
later this year the Spice Girls will, at least
briefly, reform. Except for Geri, the girls
are still signed to Virgin and contractually
owe a Greatest Hits album which will come
out in November, a week after the group
do this year's Children In Need single. And
you'll be delighted to know that there
will also be one new single on the album.
Called W.O.M.A.N., it is cringemakingly
autobiographical - trying to link Girl Power
to their new "maturity". The lyrics include;
"The early years were a lesson
Now we know what's goin' on
This time we're strong in our feets
And now we're INDUSTRY PLAYERS
We're wearing G-strings, taking meetings,
feelin' music to beats.
W O M A N can you truly love a woman
Louder baby, louder baby
W O M A N can you be better than a woman
Madly, deeply, yeah."
