Geri Halliwell | Ride It (2004)
07 December 2007 // 5:23 PM
After a three-year hiatus from recording and releasing music, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell returned to the studio to record her third album for EMI.
One of the first songs to be recorded was "Ride It." Produced by Quiz and Larossi and Ian Masterson, the track was a fun, camp dance tune that was sure to garner some attention.
EMI wanted to release Geri's cover of the Crystal Waters classic "100% Pure Love" and even commissioned mixes and a video concept. Geri was having none of this, however, and set everything up for "Ride It" to be released. Geri came up with the video concept, the choreography and promotional gimmicks.
Depsite her desperate for a fourth UK #1, she was trounced by Lemar, Destiny's Child and Girls Aloud - a band that Geri herself had helped to put together! The single limped into the charts at #4 and dropped only spent three weeks in the Top 20. "Ride It" went on to sell 51,400 copies, and was the 143rd best selling single of 2004.
