Background

After releasing their debut album Spice to huge success, later becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time, the group announced they would be in the works of a second studio album.[1] During the recording and writing of Spiceworld the group also filmed Spice World, a musical comedy film with the Spice Girls playing themselves. The album worked as a soundtrack to the film, with many of the songs from the album appearing in the film.

During 1997 the Spice Girls received massive media attention, which also came with some controversies. The group performed their first time live for the Royalty of Great Britain. At the show, they breached royal protocol when Mel B and then Geri Halliwell planted kisses on Prince Charles's cheeks and pinched his bottom. Because of this, it received ultimate controversy throughout the media. The group were criticised in the United States, because of the album just releasing nine months after its debut. They were later criticised because of the impact and amount of sponsorship deals they had signed.[2] They also made a decision to fire their manager Simon Fuller in November 1997, which was front-page news around the world.[3]

In October 1997, the Spice Girls held a two-date concert in Turkey named Girl Power! Live in Istanbul, sponsored by Pepsi. During the concert the group premiered three new songs from Spiceworld: "Too Much", "Stop" and "Saturday Night Divas". Two promotional singles from Spiceworld was released prior the album release in 1997; "Step to Me" and "Move Over (Generation Next)". Both songs were used in the Pepsi advertising campaigns and were also given away free with special ring-pulls. The album version of "Step to Me" is slightly different from the original release of the song, while "Move Over (Generation Next)" was only released as an live version during its promo release.

The album consists of pop music with dance-pop songs and production. According to AllMusic, the album's music is "catchier" and has an "intoxicating sense of fun".[4] The album was also used as a possible soundtrack of their 1997 film Spice World. "Spice Up Your Life" is an uptempo dance-pop song, with influences of Latin rhythms such as salsa and samba.[5][6] The first verse follows, the lyrics are an international rally cry, targeted to a global market,[7] as Melanie Chisholm described it: "We always wanted to do a carnival tune and write a song for the world."[8] "Viva Forever" is a pop ballad with influences of Latin music. "Too Much" is a pop ballad, with influences of R&B music and doo-wop sounds.[9] "The Lady Is a Vamp" has influences of jazz, whereas "Never Give Up on the Good Times" is a dance-pop song with influences of disco. "Stop" is an uptempo dance-pop song with influences of Motown's blue-eyed soul,[4] and is reminiscent of classic singles by The Supremes or Martha and the Vandellas.[10] Lyrically, the song calls for a slowing down on the courtship process, and it is particularly addressed to appeal to the young female audience, as the female to female bonds are not threatened.[11]

Spiceworld received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic gave it a praising review, awarding it four and a half out of five stars. He mostly praised the new fun formed of the groups new album, saying it is "intoxicating sense of fun" and "even catchier". He even praised the group for improving their vocal skills, as he concluded "The girls—Mel C. in particular—are actually turning into good vocalists, and each song plays to their strengths, giving each Spice a chance to shine. Best of all, each song has a strong melody and a strong, solid beat, whether it's a ballad or a dance number. It's a pure, unadulterated guilty pleasure and some of the best manufactured mainstream dance-pop of the late '90s". David Browne from Entertainment Weekly gave it a B+. He had said "Trading verses in this and other songs, they transform the numbers into audio pajama parties full of sisterly advice, support, and warnings. Part heart, part mind, all cotton candy, Spiceworld may just be the answer to one of life's most vexing quandaries."

Rolling Stone said: "To get to the toppermost of the poppermost, the Spice Girls have traded shamelessly—which is not to say shamefully—on their much-vaunted Girl Power, selling themselves as feminist cheesecake. On Spiceworld, they've added a sexy new curve to the mix—a learning curve. The act behind the smash 'Wannabe' sounded like wanna-be's themselves on some of their hit-and-miss debut effort, Spice, an album that made Hanson's weightier Middle of Nowhere look like Robert Johnson's King of the Delta Blues Singers. Spiceworld is, relatively speaking, a masterful effort; at its best, it reaches creative heights that are downright Bananaramian."[15] The Houston Press gave the album a mixed review saying: "Anyone expecting a maelstrom of artistic evolution from these women ought to relax a little; it's only music, for chrissakes. And the Spice Girls and their handlers deserve bonus points for showing a little common sense. After all, if this were seven years ago, they might have taken their precious time releasing Spiceworld, while the group's hype was irreversibly extinguished. You go, girls!"[14]
