Melanie C Talks the Spice Girls, the 90s, Raving, and New Album ‘Sweat’

from Zach Sang Show

Can you believe it’s been 30 years since the release of the Spice Girls’ seminal debut single “Wannabe”? Bananas. Now in her 50s Melanie C — formerly Mel C, or known to many as Sporty Spice — joins us on the couch to chat about her new, euphoric album ‘Sweat.’ Born from her abiding love of dance music, which started as a teenager on the Costa Brava in Spain as a teenager and was reignited when she started DJing and hanging out with LDN’s influential queer DJ collective Sink the Pink. We talk to her about all this, her workout regime (abs!), the harshness of British tabloids and the phone hacking scandal affected so many high profile people in the UK for well over a decade. Melanie also reflects on the Spice Girls — both then and now — and if a reunion might be on the cards.Plus, she drops some great stories about Madonna and Liza Minelli, while also discussing some of the collaborators she worked with on ‘Sweat.’Stream "Sweat" ►► https://melaniec.lnk.to/sweatSponsored by Ross — find your nearest store at RossStores.com.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uFollow The Zach Sang Show:https://tiktok.com/@zachsangshowhttps://www.instagram.com/zachsangshow/https://twitter.com/zachsangshowhttps://www.facebook.com/ZachSangShow/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
