Have to say, i am surprised i quite like it, its better than 'Headlines' anyway.
Really wish it was all 5 of them though would it really have hurt Victoria just to do one last hurrah with them all. Dont forget where you came from Adams!!

Actually this is pretty decent. It's not what I expected. It has a slight Saturdays or Fifth Harmony vibe IMO.

I actually really like it 100 times better than Headlines. I really wish they released a song like this when all 5 of them reunited in 2007 then they could have had another hit on their hands

Unfortunately though as good the song is, I don't think itll achieve much with just 3 of them on board

It's very catchy but not very Spicy. Hmmm. Parts of it sound like 'Dynamite.'

Pleasantly surprised... the verses are a bit forgettable but the chorus has an instant hook to it. Sounds very Eurovision!

It's a catchy pop tune. I don't really miss Victoria or Mels voices either.

I hope the three just go for it and release a three piece album as the Spice Girls. The potential is certainly there. Why not.

I was against GEM at first but this has won me over. Really solid pop track but that's not surprising as Geri and Emma have always been decent song writers so together it makes sense they would have created something good.

Has it leaked or did they put it out themselves? if its leaked I feel bad for them as its probably just ruined the campaign.

Lets face it all they needed Victoria for was the image. As far as vocals go it was always the other four who made the Spice Girls sound which is proven here just by 3 of them. Oddly I don't think Mel C is missed either which isn't something you would expect!

Geri has quite a few parts throughout. Emma is just a stronger singer so you hear her more in the joint parts.

I don't agree. In the beginning, Geri was the weakest singer. People forget that and use it as a stick to beat Victoria with. Geri has since worked on her voice and so now probably is the stronger of the two.

I think it's great. Really glad Mel C isn't involved as I cannot stand her voice and Posh doesn't really bring anything apart from pouting and looking miserable. Good on them for going for it and trying something different.

Geri album leaked too? I wonder what is going on.... Sometimes these are deliberate strategy ideas to gain buzz...but a whole album is never a good thing.

I guess I can now ask for the apologies from the users calling me a liar when I gave now irrefutably correct early information about Song For Her back in July...

I won't hold my breath!

It is indeed as is Love and Light.

Geri's voice has improved so much. I hope she's not too upset the album leaked.

She's pretty upset. And hurt.

Such a shame

I can only find 8 songs for Geri's album was it just an extended EP? That is equally as good as the GEM song.

Shame its leaked but Geri seems to have had this album on hold for about 3 years. The longer you wait to release something the more likely it is to leak. Wonder if it will be shelved now. Huge shame if so.

The chorus is great but I find the verses quite weak.

The choruses are really catchy after a few listens. A real Eurovision vibe

a. re: Song for Her

Lovin
1. they are using the GEM tag. It gives them a little more freedom.
2. This is a return to fun honest pop sound of Spice Girls. The track wouldn't sound out of place on a greatest hits collection either.
3. That they wanted to do something for the fans at this anniversary time, even when their own solo music could have been released.
4. headlines - i liked but we wanted an uptempo sassy spice girl return and this song is that

re: Geri Halliwell

The 12 songs sound very world music pop. It is a great area to go in.
- jazz; folk; cabaret

Stand out songs: love and light; get involved; phenomenal woman, man on the mountain, beautiful life, without love (very poignant lyrics)

I am so hoping that this is due to go to a producer to be further produced and remastered and released in the late January. This has such potential to be the best Spice girls solo album.

I am so sad for the leak but it is great to know that the music is there ...she needs to release it soon.

I'm so bummed for Geri. Without You is officially my favourite ever solo spice song.

I hope her team can some how rush this album out for release.

I've always had a softspot for Geri, Half of Me was dire but I really liked a lot of her solo stuff and this is really nice.

Re: Song for her, its actually really surprisingly decent, whether or not this is going to be an official single I guess we'll see but its fun, catchy and upbeat and doesn't sound too dated, pleasantly surprised.
