Time for Mel C.

Filed under: Melanie C.

melaniec__opt.jpg

Spice Girl Mel C's wonderful new album, This Time, is being released in North America this April, and she's doing it on her own imprint, Red Girl.

Sporty is not only an artist…she's a business woman, too!

She states, "And (after) having experience with a major label, it was nice to be able to do the exact opposite and own the copyright to my songs," she continues. "I was very fortunate with the Spice Girls; financially, I was able to set up my own label and finance my own record."

Mel C. call's the style of This Time "mature pop." The first single off the album will be Carolyna which tells the story of a young runaway.

Love that song. Love this album.

Good for Mel!

Plus, exciting news for Sporty fans: she's planning to tour in the U.S. and Canada in support of the album's release!

      I'll definitely get the CD. I loved "Northern Star" and am ready for the new stuff. Hopefully she comes to the ATL for her tour. I'll be there.

      Why does a beautiful woman like this "ugly" herself up with nasty tatoos?
      Both arms are covered with ugly, black marks and that is the first thing you see!
      YUCK!

      34

      I heard the song "Carolyna" she should have described it as bland, generic pop.

    38. Steph says – reply to this


      38

      Melanie C is amazing!! I really hope she does tour the US because she has many fans out here. Hopefully she doesnt decide to "cut her tour short" and just stay in Canada.

    39. Eternal Skeptic says – reply to this


      39

      I love Mel C, but I seriously can't get over her god-awful Celtic cross tattoo. I am way into body mods myself but that tattoo is so ugly. She should really get it covered up with something much better done!

      OMG!! About fuckin time I love Mel C………..thanks for info :-)

    41. NMNC says – reply to this

      she only announced that she's touring Canada.
      not official on the US, yet, but i can hope.

    42. ashley says – reply to this


      42

      I love her and her music so much!!!!!!
      I hope she does end up releasing her album in and touring the US! That would be AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    43. Jill says – reply to this


      43

      I LOOOOVE HER!!!!! OMG this is the best news i've heard in a long time. She has ALWAYS been my favorite. The Spice Girls show was INCREDIBLE and I am SOOO going to see Mel when she tours here. How amazinggg

    44. Mack says – reply to this


      44

      Her album is only being released in Canada at this point and only touring Canada. She did two shows in the USA during the Spice Girls tour…saw the NY one and it was GREAT! Also, noticed it's not her label in Canada releasing it but Bristol Sessions.

    45. john says – reply to this


      45

      she isnt a lesbian - god every american thinks just because a person isnt sleeping around or dressing like a slut shes a lezza. she has been with her boyfriend for 6 years, they live together and his name is Tom!!!

      Wow, you're finally realizing that Canada and the U.S are separate countries.

      She's obviously the best singer of the Spice girls, she's the one who dears to sing the high strong notes. I love her! I can't wait to hear her cd. She's truly an artist.

    51. Paul says – reply to this


      51

      Awesome! Her new record is my second favourite. Her last record 'Beautiful Intentions' completely rocked. I love the chilled out feel to the new album, but the first single 'Carolyna' is so damn infectious, great hook and a good lead single.

      I hope it does well in Canada and the US… then send her back over to Europe… I'm missing jumping at Melanie C gigs! Good luck across the Atlantic, Melanie!

      54

      Good! I think this could be a "success" for her here in the states… I've heard 3 songs and liked them all! I'll buy to support!

    55. Gio says – reply to this


      55

      She is the best singer in the spice girls. I love how people call her old what is she 33? 34?

    56. Elizabeth says – reply to this


      56

      Yay! I'm so glad she's coming to the U.S.! "This Time" is an amazing album and more and more people need ot hear it! (I wasn't that much of a fan of her music before this album, but it's just great!) Keep promoting her, Perez!

      Re: BMcG

      You dumb idiot. Melanie C is Sporty Spice, Melanie B is Scary Spice. Get your facts straight before you diss a nice Perez article. Go eat your mom.
