Having spent five years as Sporty Spice, one-fourth of the Spice Girls, Melanie C, launched her solo career with the release of 'Northern Star', her Virgin Records debut, in October 1999. Generally thought of as the quitest of the outspoken Spice Girls, particularly before Ginger Spice -- the brazen Geri Halliwell -- left the group in early 1999, Melanie C enlisted the aid of some of the heaviest hitters in the music industry to ensure a successful, aggressive debut. Producer Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers), Bryan Adams, two members of Beck's band, Rhett Lawrence (writer and producer for Mariah Carey) and TLC's Lisa Left Eye al contributed to 'Northern Star'. Citing bands like Blur, Oasis, Hole and Garbage as some of her influences, Melanie C is hoping to move away from ehr commercial pop past and appeal to a more "indie" crowd with her new sound. But a solo career does not mean the end of the Spice Girls. They are currently recording their third album, and will go on tour in late 1999. The Spice Girls are evolving just as Melanie C is going out on her own. Back to Top
