Spice Girls : Spiceworld - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (313 words)
The Spice Girls, as well as their managers and songwriters, are nothing if not clever, and Spiceworld, the group's second album, illustrates exactly how sharp they are.
Conventional wisdom dictates that Spiceworld should be a weak facsimile of Spice, which itself featured a handful of great singles surrounded by filler.
Instead of merely rewriting Spice, Spiceworld consolidates and expands the group's style, adding Latin flourishes ("Spice Up Your Life"), kitschy blues ("The Lady Is a Vamp"), and stomping, neo-Motown blue-eyed soul in the vein of Culture Club ("Stop").
Rolling Stone : Spice Girls: Spiceworld : Music Reviews (661 words)
On "Spiceworld," the Spice Girls take us deep into pop's heart of lightness, a happy place filled not with music of good taste but with music that tastes good – at least to a substantial portion of the planet.
Spiceworld is, relatively speaking, a masterful effort; at its best, it reaches creative heights that are downright Bananaramian.
Spiceworld is not an artistic statement for critics to autopsy – it's well-made music to Stairmaster to, and by that standard the whole thing works rather well.
