The Spice Girls are back – and writing new songs in the studio  

 

It's time to Spice up your life once again because three of the Spice Girls are back in the studio together, working on new music. 

 

Geri Horner (Ginger Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice) and Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) have spent the past 48 hours in London's Play Deep studios recording previously unheard material, with a view to releasing a new album later this year, celebrating 20 years since the release of the band's debut single Wannabe. 

 

It is understood that the band will also play a series of live dates on both sides of the Atlantic in 2017.

 

Mel B yesterday posted a picture on Instagram of the trio, alongside the caption "And I say oohhhh LALA", seemingly confirming the news that the band are back.

 

The Spice Girls' one-time producer, Eliot Kennedy, who worked with the band on their Spice World soundtrack in 2007, and who appears to be working with the girls on new material, tweeted: "Now that was a day for the history books. Like 20 years had never happened. Proper friendship! Hit Song."

 

In an interview with The Mirror, Mel B said: "It's funny, because back in the day people thought we had everything written for us but we've always written all our own songs.

 

"That's why we've won Ivor Novello awards and all sorts. Everything always comes from us, and to do something for our 20-year anniversary is the ultimate dream.

 

"If we do anything, we will be writing everything from scratch. We are all group texting and speak a lot."

 

Despite this, however, The Mirror also reports that Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) will not be involved. The 42-year-old's spokesperson said that Beckham was busy "launching her forthcoming Estee Lauder collection" and that she had not attended any meetings about this year's reunion.

 

Mel C (Sporty Spice) was not at the Play Deep studios, after confirming earlier this year that she would continue to focus on her solo career.

 

This is not the first time the Spice Girls, still the biggest-selling female group of all time, have reunited. There were also short-lived comebacks in 2007 and 2012.

How I wish the Spice Girls would make a comeback. I personally have a feeling that all the girls want a reunion but its Victoria that is not willing because of here designer career and her family responsibilities. Mel B also stated in one of her interviews.

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      "Not found" - this is what you get when you embed a tweet instead of just taking a screenshot.

      Wonder if they will let you go into an Apple Store and have your white glass back swapped for a silver one, will they refuse even if you pay?
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
