Music’s landscape may have shifted significantly over the last two and a half decades, but what has remained a universal truth is that nobody can deny having a soft spot for the Spice Girls. The pop pioneers and originators of girl group success are thanking fans on the twenty-fifth birthday of their iconic release Spiceworld by gifting us an anniversary edition of the album, Spiceworld 25, complete with never-before-heard demo tracks, live recordings and remixes that you won’t be able to get enough of.
If you’re craving some classic nineties groove, fear not – Spiceworld 25 is everything you could want and more, capturing the dynamism, energy, and spirit of the Spice Girls at the height of their career. Featuring showstoppers “Spice Up Your Life,” “Stop,” and “Viva Forever” alongside a host of the group’s very best and brightest tracks, listeners can also look forward to a particularly special, stripped-back demo version of “Step To Me,” a cult classic with which long-term fans will no doubt be familiar.
The live tracks, dates selected spanning from Toronto to Turkey and everywhere in between, serve to remind audiences of the powerful collective vocal talents of the girls, united by a passion and vibrancy that pervades our speakers, transporting us back through to the heyday of their 1998 tour. As if that isn’t enough to provide us with our Spice Girls fix, the album ends on a high with a fifteen minute megamix of some of Spiceworld’s highlights.
