UP BRASIL

---

        The expectation was huge around the hole Europe to know where were the SPICE GIRLS going after a first album which was a enormous success everywhere in Earth. When it finally arrived at the beginning of November 1997 we could notice a compilations of tendencies inside world pop music. The tracks go from a cocktail of latin rhythms incorporated to the pop/dance (Spice Up Your Life), guitars and electric guitars that make Hispanic sounds (Viva Forever) and a sweet and lighter melody (Too Much e Viva Forever) or even a little rehearsal of the old and longing style from the old Motown times (Stop), recorder company of theJackson Five and many others whose names are unquestionable, passing through Louisiana's jazz mixed with 90's pop music (The Lady is a Vamp). We can also verify a tiny spice rock'n'roll (Move Over e Step to Me), increasing SPICE GIRLS' music variety in SpiceWorld. Their irreverent style isn't absent and in Do It we can hear it allied to the purest GIRL POWER.

        After having presented the new album in Granada, which took a few months of work to get ready, the greatest challenge was coming up: the popular approval. Sales released SPICE GIRLS' name into the world music scenary, and depended on them its consolidation. The thing that many critics always unsatisfied with every single work happened, SpiceWorld, as well as its first single Spice Up Your Life, wasn't that good on sales as it was expected. It reached number one in the UK, (where it stayed for a considerable time) and in Europe. But it was really really under the girls' expectations. As a consequence, the manager Simon Fuller (on the picture above with the girls after winning from the tabloid The Sun the award for Best Newcomer. Pay attention! It's the same newspaper that is always making gossip on the girls' private and personal life) was fired.

        After this incident, they become their own manager, but, of course, they count the help of many advisors, otherwise they wouldn't be able to conciliate concerts, interviews and TV appearances with the life as business girls. At the same time people and press were talking about SpiceWorld and company failure, it was also said that the girls would split and that they were having frequent intern fights but it was only more gossip. SpiceWorld reached very high level of sales, making normal again the life and the relationship between them and the British and international press and their more than faithful public. This album is also a soundtrack to SpiceWorld: The Movie, as Victoria said on the special Behind the Scenes SpiceWorld: The Movie at E! Entertainment Television, which in Brazil it's broadcasted by DirecTV and TVA. Check your local cable companies to get further information about it.

        There are two versions of the album SpiceWorld. The worldwide one, with 10 tracks, and the Japanese one, with bonus track (Step to Me). The look is the same between the Japanese album and the Brazilian, British, or American ones. There are, however, a few variations of the regular album as the cover, the leaflet and the CD itself, as the Austrian SpiceWorld, which has got the CD all pressed in black and white, with the globe at the bottom and the girls at the top. A picture is the same from the single Spice Up Your Life.

        For the SpiceWorld album, were released, till now, 3 singles. The first one is Spice Up Your Life, first track of the album, release in October in Europe. The second one is Too Much, the third track of the album, released in December in Europe. The third one, released on 3rd March in Europe and in June in the US, is Stop, second track of the album. The fourth, and maybe the last one from SpiceWorld, is Viva Forever, released in middle July in Europe. This is the first single after Geri's left. The criticisms considered this a test to the girls' popularity, but the fab-four didn't disappoint their fans. It went to number one in England and then in the European Charts. This is also the most successful single from SpiceWorld being one of the most sold singles in Europe in 1998. Congratulations!And due to its sales the SPICE GIRLS are almost the number one artists of the decade in Europe. We're all looking forward to seeing them ending the millennium with this great tittle!

       The first single, which is an EP, was released in Europe on December 14th, for Christmas and it's called Goodbye. This one became the 3rd SPICE GIRLS single to reach UK's Christmas number one, a fact achieved only by the Beatles. This is also the first song without Geri on the vocals.
