Melanie C., the one and only sporty spice, just dropped her 9th studio album called Sweat on May 1st. It's packed with 13 tracks full of thumping beats, slick vibes, sensual grooves, and pure-style straight dance music that takes her back to her. Rave Roots, and Every Roots, which is May by Outs and Stingles, before she exploded with the Spice Girls, she was deep in the UK's early 90s club scene, chasing that high energy and self-expression she first. Felt on a teen holiday in Spain, she started DJing about 7 years ago, blending those old school Rave memories with her pop career. Rave culture shaped her and the Spice Girls, pushing that fierce individuality and unity across all kinds of people. Even during the band's whirlwind days, she'd sneak in prodigy tracks on her Walkman at the gym, keeping the fire alive. Bands and folks close to her see this as a full circle moment, she's happier than ever, using the album to spread joy amid tough world news.

She's hitting the road this summer and fall across the U.S., Europe and the U.K., bringing that Rave energy live, DJing and performing to keep the good times rolling.
