Spice, Spice Girls

With a debut album like Spice, it's no wonder the Spice Girls solidified themselves as one of the most iconic and bestselling girl groups. Spice has all those delightful 90s pop qualities: the drum machines, the anthem lyrics, the electropop production. But I have to say, Spice has a lot more substance to it than I expected it to.

The album starts with a bang with "Wannabe"-- no surprise that this song remains as popular as it is. It stays strong with boppy, witty "Say You'll Be There." Emotion pours out of tracks like "2 Become 1" and "Mama". Fun theatrical edits in songs like "Naked" and "Last Time Lover" add attitude and fun to tracks that would otherwise be looked over as filler tracks. The album closes with one last upbeat, hip-hop inspired track with "If U Can't Dance."

Stand out tracks: "Wannabe" "Who Do You Think You Are"

My favorite tracks: "Say You'll Be There" "Love Thing"

This is a feel-good album, no doubt about it. It seems like it would be best paired with a feather boa, platform boots,

rhinestone hair clips, lip gloss, and a strut. Spice deserves every bit of hype it comes with. It's is catchy, dancy, clever, sassy-- all the exact right things a 90s pop girl group album should be.
