Three Spice Girls Reunite To Make First New Music In 16 Years

London: The Spice Girls are back! The iconic girl group has recorded new music for the first time in 16 years, confirming reunion plans. 

Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice) and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) have reunited for a 48-hour secret session at London’s Play Deep Studios to work on fresh material ahead of their 20th anniversary in July. Former producer Eliot Kennedy, who worked with the band on their Spice World soundtrack in 2007, forecast the unheard material was already sounding like a certain chart-topping contender. He tweeted last night: “Now that was a day for the history books. Like 20 years had never happened. Proper friendship! Hit Song.”

Mel B also admitted that the Spice Girls want their comeback to be “from scratch”, saying: “It's funny, because back in the day people thought we had everything written for us but we've always written all our own songs.” “That's why we've won Ivor Novello awards and all sorts. Everything always comes from us, and to do something for our 20-year anniversary is the ultimate dream,” she added.

The meeting comes Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice) became the second Spice Girl to pull out after Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) to focus on her solo music last month. The new record is expected to be released later this year, marking two decades since the original fivesome released their first single Wannabe in 1996.

Live shows for 2017 are expected to be announced in due course.

Adele, who is a superfan of the group was ecstatic with the new and even stepped in to fill in forone of the two vacant sports. Speaking at her gig in Hamburg, Germany, on Tuesday, she said: “I love the Spice Girls. I hear they’re doing a reunion with only three of them, so if you need me to step in girls, I’m on my own world tour right now, but after that I’ll come with you. I would like to be Geri, Ginger Spice.”
