This is my favourite album at the moment. I thought ’Will Mel be a success doing a solo album?’ and yes is the answer. Mel has come a long way since the Spice Girls first started, her voice has matured.
’HOT’ is very much r’n’b, with a bit of soul and ballads, and it shows off Mel’s voice. This album is very much about her marriage break-up. There are 11 songs on this album:
Feels So Good - Good song, an upbeat song, something you can dance to.
Tell Me - Very good song, obviously written about her ex. husband, Jimmy. The line ’And all you loved was Mel B’s money’ says it all.
Hell No - Great vocals, and a bit of a love song.
Lullaby - A sweet song, written about her daughter, Phoenix Chi.
Hotter - A very sexy tune.
Step Inside - Great r’n’b tune with a bit of jazz mixed in, cool vocals.
ABC 123 - Another great r’n’b tune, good to sing along to.
I Believe - A chill out tune & it’s got great vibe. Also the echo effects are quite nice.
I Want You Back - Mel’s debut single recorded with the very talented Missy Elliott. Also a smash No. 1 hit.
Pack Your Sh!t - This has got lots of attitude and it’s a great r’n’b tune.
Feel Me Now - This is a slow song, this is the worst song on the album. This album is excellent, as is the production team including Max Beesley (Mel B’s boyfriend), Sisqo, Missy Elliott, and Teddy Riley (ex Blackstreet member).
My fav songs on the album are Hotter and I Believe, but I like all the songs, except the last one. I think this album is for anyone that likes the Spice Girls and r’n’b.
