Some former pop stars spend a lifetime trying to escape the image that made them famous. Not Melanie C. Since the Spice Girls debuted 30 years ago this summer, she has never shied away from her past as Sporty Spice. Her ninth album, Sweat, leans firmly into it. Led by its gauntlet-throwing title track, these are work-bitch bangers for the gym, the dancefloor – inspired by her pre-Spice raving youth – and quite possibly the bedroom, sung by a triathlon fiend who forged a reputation as a world-renowned DJ.
Ask Melanie C Anything
You can ask Melanie about her solo career – she is the only Spice Girl still making music – or anything else when she sits for the Guardian's reader interview. Perhaps her new love of the intensive competitive workout Hyrox, what the departure of Mo Salah means for her beloved Liverpool FC, why 90s nostalgia has taken over social media, whether tabloid culture is any less cruel than it used to be, or how it can possibly be three decades since Wannabe changed the world.
