Scream if You Wanna Go Faster is the second solo album by British pop singer Geri Halliwell. It was released by EMI Records on May 14, 2001 and yielded the UK number-one single "It's Raining Men". Although not as successful as her debut album Schizophonic, it reached a peak position of number five on the UK album chart. With first-week sales of 35,000 copies and total sales of 155,000, it became the 127th best selling album of 2001 in the UK. It eventually received an American release digitally via the iTunes Store on October 30, 2007.

Halliwell described the album as "bright and colourful";[1] despite the poor sales in the UK (ensuring Gold status only) the album went on to sell 1.3 milion copies worldwide.[2]

[edit] Album information

Scream if You Wanna Go Faster includes a cover version of the Weather Girls "It's Raining Men" (1983) and a continuation of the message Halliwell encouraged when she had been a part of the Spice Girls, "Girl Power", is featured on the song "Strength of a Woman". The album frequently moves away from Halliwell's pop origins as she had begun composing more ballads such as "Calling" and "Circles round the Moon". Said Halliwell about Scream if You Wanna Go Faster, "There's deeper meaning underneath if you care and chose to look. Some of it is deep as puddle, some of it is a bottomless pit, like a well."[1]
