2000 studio album by Spice Girls
Forever
is the third studio album by English
girl group
the
Spice Girls
, released on 1 November 2000 by
Virgin Records
. It is their only album without
Geri Halliwell
, who later rejoined the group for their
Greatest Hits
album in 2007.
Forever
peaked at number two on the
UK Albums Chart
, becoming the group's only studio album to not top the UK charts. It was later certified Platinum by the
British Phonographic Industry
(BPI). The album also only reached number 39 on the US
Billboard
200
. Worldwide the album has sold over two million copies, a commercial disappointment compared to their two previous albums
Spice
and
Spiceworld
.
The lead and only single, the
double A-side
"
Holler
" and "
Let Love Lead the Way
", went on to debut at number one on the
UK Singles Chart
, becoming the group's ninth number one single. Their 1998 Christmas single "
Goodbye
", released almost two years earlier, was also included on the album as the closer. "
Tell Me Why
", "Weekend Love", and "If You Wanna Have Some Fun" were released as promotional singles from the album, with the latter having a montage music video released exclusively to European music stations.
Background
[
edit
]
During the
Spiceworld Tour
in early 1998, the group took on an initial project to write and record songs for a possible third album and a live album.
[3]
The original concept for this album was to showcase solo songs, duets, and cover songs featuring all five members, in order to promote the idea that the Spice Girls were all individuals, yet could come together as one. The girls went to Dublin's Windmill Lane Studios with longtime collaborators Richard Stannard and Matt Rowe to work on a new album and create master recordings for a live album. With the sudden departure of Geri Halliwell, the project took a major turn, with many of the already produced songs scrapped and the live album cancelled.
The Spice Girls recorded their Christmas single, "
Goodbye
", in July 1998, during the North American leg of their Spiceworld Tour. Once again, the girls teamed up with Stannard and Rowe. The following year, they recorded "My Strongest Suit" for the
concept album
for the musical
Aida
. In the two years between the release of "Goodbye" in December 1998 and the release of
Forever
in November 2000, the group, along with the pop-music landscape in general, changed dramatically. Hoping to cultivate a more mature image, the group teamed up with a team of American producers to give
Forever
a more R&B sound. However, initial recording sessions maintained the pop sound of their previous works.
Recording
[
edit
]
Recording for the album initially began in mid-1999, and the first tracks recorded for the album were recorded at
Abbey Road Studios
with Stannard and Rowe. The group continued working on tracks through August and September, working on tracks with
Eliot Kennedy
at Steelworks Studios and tracks with
Rodney Jerkins
and
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
at Whitfield Street Studios respectively.
[4]
Following these sessions, work on the album was put on a pause.
Melanie Chisholm
began promoting her first solo album
Northern Star
,
released in October, and the group began preparations for the
Christmas in Spiceworld
tour, in which they premiered the tracks "Right Back At Ya", "W.O.M.A.N." and "Holler". Following the tour, Chisholm continued to promote
Northern Star
, and the other members worked on preparing their own solo material. Recording for the album did not resume until April 2000, when further tracks were recorded with Jerkins, followed by the final recording session on 17 July 2000.
[4]
Sessions with Stannard and Rowe were eventually scrapped from the album, and Kennedy's only surviving contribution to the album was "Right Back at Ya", included on the album in a re-recorded, remixed, R&B form that Kennedy described as a "plodding, boring, bottom drawer R&B song".
[5]
In an interview with biographer David Sinclair, Stannard relayed his disappointment in the omission of "W.O.M.A.N.": "I thought that song was really interesting lyrically, because it was making the progression from girls to women, which was something Matt and I thought it was time for them to do. They needed something to suggest that they were still the same group of friends, but they were gaining more maturity."
[6]
Bunton explained that the song was not included because "the sound [had] moved on" in the time since it was recorded.
[7]
Release and promotion
[
edit
]
In August 2000, the album's title was revealed through a poll on the group's official website, in which fans voted for what they thought the title would be.
[8]
The album's cover has the girls "clinging to each other as if they were holding on for dear life", according to
PopMatters
'
s Peter Piatkowski.
[9]
EMI Music Japan
first released
Forever
in Japan on 1 November 2000, with a remix of "Holler" serving as a bonus track.
[10]
It was distributed five days later in the United Kingdom by
Virgin Records
and on 7 November in North America by
EMI
.
[11]
[12]
[13]
The album leaked on
Napster
a week prior to its release.
[14]
To promote
Forever
, the Spice Girls performed "Holler" and "Let Love Lead the Way" on British televised shows such as
The National Lottery Stars
,
SMTV Live
,
Top of the Pops
and
CD:UK
.
[15]
[16]
The group also gave a performance "Holler" at the
2000 MTV Europe Music Awards
on 16 November 2000 in Stockholm, Sweden; before the performance, Melanie C declared that it would be their last appearance together before going on a hiatus to focus on their solo careers.
[17]
[18]
During the performance, the group wore leather outfits, ending with them going through the floor with large orange pyrotechnic flames blazing up.
[19]
Additionally, the band's members hosted
TFI Friday
on 10 November, as part of the album's promotion.
[20]
In October 2000, Melanie Brown mentioned that a tour to promote
Forever
would take place in late 2001 and that it would be global, including dates in America.
[21]
However, the tour never came to fruition due to their solo projects.
[22]
The Spice Girls did not heavily promote
Forever
as much as their previous albums, and the promotional campaign was ceased in December 2000 as the group went on an indefinite hiatus.
[23]
The following month,
Emma Bunton
officially stated that "the record seems to have come to a natural end. I want to concentrate on solo projects and there is no time to release a single now. All our individual projects are scheduled and we wouldn't have time for any promotion."
[24]
Singles
[
edit
]
"
Holler
" and "
Let Love Lead the Way
" were chosen to serve as the official lead single from
Forever
. Released as a
double A-side
single, it debuted at number one on the
UK Singles Chart
and became the Spice Girls' ninth number-one single in the United Kingdom, tying with
ABBA
as the group with the most singles to reach the top of the charts,
[25]
[26]
only behind
The Beatles
,
Elvis Presley
,
Cliff Richard
and
Madonna
overall.
[27]
It also peaked in the top 10 in several other countries in Europe, including Denmark, Ireland, Italy and Spain.
[28]
[29]
[30]
[31]
In Canada, the songs were released separately; "Holler" reached number two, whereas "Let Love Lead the Way" peaked at number five on the chart compiled by
Nielsen Soundscan
.
[32]
The music videos released for the tracks depicted the girls playing one of the
four elements
each.
[33]
"
Tell Me Why
", "Weekend Love", and "If You Wanna Have Some Fun" were released as
promotional singles
in November 2000. An official promotional montage video was released for "If You Wanna Have Some Fun" the same month which was compiled from previously released footage.
[34]
"Tell Me Why" had several commissioned remixes, only one of which was commercially released as a bonus track seven years later on the deluxe edition of
Greatest Hits
.
[35]
The final promotional push for the
Forever
album was a promotional single featuring these remixes that was released in Australia in the summer of 2001 as a competition prize in a cross-promotion with
TV Hits Magazine
.
[36]
Critical reception
[
edit
]
Forever
received mixed reviews from music critics. At
Metacritic
, which assigns a
normalised
rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an
average
score of 45, based on nine reviews.
[2]
In a mixed review, James Hunter of
Rolling Stone
expressed that "
Forever
will probably provoke a reaction somewhere in the middle?with one exception, it's just OK."
[44]
Music critics had ambivalent opinions on the record's change in sound compared to the group's previous releases.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
of
AllMusic
wrote that on
Forever
, the Spice Girls "make all the right moves, hiring superstar producer Rodney Jerkins to helm most of the tracks and attempting to seem mature, but this all results in a record that is curiously self-conscious and flat".
[37]
Andrew Lynch from
entertainment.ie
opined, "The production is as slick as ever, but a huge part of that old Girl Power enthusiasm seems to have drained and fallen away?and with it most of the fun that used to redeem their fundamental tackiness."
[40]
David Browne of
Entertainment Weekly
commented, "Every genre cliche, from homogenized harmonies to delicately plucked stringed instruments to male rapper interjections, is securely in place. The music is so tasteful, restrained, and assembly line proficient that it makes early singles like '
Say You'll Be There
' sound like the rawest punk rock."
[1]
Betty Clarke of
The Guardian
gave
Forever
a negative review, stating it "ultimately makes you yearn for those heady dans when the Spice Girls were pop and proud of it."
[41]
Other reviews were more positive of the album's production. Michael Paoletta of
Billboard
gave the album a positive review, stating it "oozes with timely funk beats and the kind of well-crafted songs that No. 1 hits are made of."
[46]
In a positive review, Stephanie McGrath from
Jam!
wrote that the album was the group's attempt at "toning down their former flashiness and giving their catchy brand of pop music a sophisticated twist." She wrote that the group sounded "more comfortable" with the album's style and described it as being "full of good pop music."
[42]
Natalie Nichols from the
Los Angeles Times
described the vocals on the album as an improvement over those on its predecessor, writing that "the girls muster more vocal passion and authority" when compared to
Spiceworld
.
[43]
A review from The Sonic Net wrote that the album sounded "very professional" but also wrote that "only a hardcore fan can deny that the bloom is definitely off the rose."
[2]
