You Will See
by Melanie C

b. Melanie Jayne Chisholm, 12 January 1974, Merseyside, England. Amid a flurry of solo Spice Girls activity during 1999, Mel C's reinvention as a rock singer attracted the most criticism. Routinely described as the most talented member of the Spice Girls, Chisholm had already enjoyed success outside the band in late 1998. Her highly catchy duet with Canadian rock star Bryan Adams, "When You're Gone", spent 10 weeks in the UK Top 10, reaching a peak position of number 3 in December.
When the Spice Girls announced a prolonged sabbatical, Chisholm relocated to Los Angeles, California to record her debut album with respected producer Rick Rubin, with further contributions from Marius De Vries and William Orbit. Adams, meanwhile, popped up as a guest vocalist on an album which, for all the punk bluster of "Goin' Down" (a UK Top 5 single) and "Ga Ga", was more effective when Chisholm toned it down on several ballads that were reminiscent of none other than the Spice Girls. Chisholm had already premiered material from the album at selective live concerts during the summer, including an infamous debut appearance at the V99 festival in August, during which she was roundly jeered for attempting a cover version of the Sex Pistols "Anarchy In The UK". The singer enjoyed greater success the following year when "Never Be The Same Again", featuring TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and "I Turn To You" both topped the UK singles chart.
A lengthy hiatus followed in Chisholm's solo career, during which time she reunited with the Spice Girls to record their third album. When the group was put on indefinite hold following the poor critical and commercial reception afforded Forever, Chisholm set about recording her second solo album. Despite input from a number of leading pop songwriters, including former New Radicals mastermind Gregg Alexander, 2003's Reason was sunk by a surfeit of average material and ended up as a high profile failure. Chisholm lost her major label recording contract shortly afterwards. She carried on regardless, forming her own label Red Girl Records and working with her live band on a collection of new material. The resulting Beautiful Intentions, released in April 2005, was a marked improvement on her previous album and included the excellent single "Next Best Superstar".
