News - Melanie C returns with new album 'Sweat' after a six-year break

Melanie Chisholm, famously known as Melanie C or Sporty Spice from the iconic Spice Girls, is making a triumphant return to the music scene with her ninth studio album 'Sweat,' set for release on May 1. This marks her first solo album in six years since 2020's 'Melanie C.' Melanie's latest project features the newly dropped single 'What Could Possibly Go Wrong?', an upbeat track that reflects on the daring pursuit of risk-taking and self-trust in both music and life. Describing the song as a playful exploration, Melanie believes many listeners will connect with its message. Her previous single 'Sweat,' a vibrant dance anthem, draws from Diana Ross' classic 'Work That Body' and is a celebration of the freedom and joy found in dance culture. Recorded between Stockholm and Los Angeles, the album will be released under Virgin Music Group and Melanie's own label, Red Girl Records. Teaming up once more with Virgin Music Group is a nostalgic yet promising venture for Melanie, who reminisces about their past successes with the Spice Girls and her initial solo ventures. She expresses her eagerness for what the renewed collaboration can achieve internationally. Melanie C rose to fame as Sporty Spice, a pivotal member of the Spice Girls, alongside Emma Bunton, Mel B, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham. Shock waves of the 90s saw the Spice Girls redefine the pop industry with mega-hits like 'Wannabe' and 'Spice Up Your Life.' The group's disbandment in 2000 marked a new chapter for Chisholm, who then embarked on a successful solo career. Now at 52, Melanie's career spans multiple solo releases, occasional reunions with the Spice Girls, and appearances on popular shows like 'Dancing with the Stars.' She's also ventured into DJing, all while continuously exploring her musical passion. Looking forward, Melanie seeks to resonate with audiences once more, infusing her new music with energy that invites global fans to dance. As she delves into a creative resurgence, 'Sweat' promises to be a captivating chapter in her illustrious career.
