Melanie C | Never Be the Same Again (2000)
19 December 2007 // 1:42 PM
When Spice Girl Melanie C first ventured out onto her own, guesting on Bryan Adams' hit single "When You're Gone," her future in the music business looked bright. Virgin Records threw her into the studio to record a solo album. The result was a hodge-podge of tracks that didn't seem to go together but somehow made a rather impressive record. The first two singles were Top 10 flops, charting at #4 - a position that any Spice Girl would kill for today.
However, things changed with the release of the albums' third single. "Never Be the Same Again" featured guest vocals from A-list rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who has since perished in an unfortunate automobile accident. Released on March 20, 2000 the single debuted at #1 in the charts, knocking former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell's single "Bag it Up" from the top spot to #4. The single sold 401,000 copies in the UK alone and was the 18th best-seller on 2000. It has also sold over 1.5 million copies in Europe - 900,000 of them in Germany. It charted at #2 in Australia, selling 90,000 copies. The singles' success revived interest in "Northern Star," the album from which it was lifted.
"Never Be the Same Again" is another CD I was lucky to have signed!
