SUPERSTAR MEL B SIGNS GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP WITH EMI MUSIC AUSTRALIA

Mel B needs no introduction. It’s already written in the history books. She not only is part of music history but is also a pop culture icon. She is an artist who has achieved the kind of success most artists can only ever dream of. The statistics speak for themselves… over 80 million album sales, countless No.1 singles & albums around the world – as part of Spice Girls and as a successful solo artist.

EMI Music Australia is extremely proud and excited to announce Mel B is returning back home and ready to join contemporaries such as Katy Perry, Coldplay, David Guetta, Ricki-Lee, Empire Of The Sun and 360 with an exclusive global partnership with the label she originally signed with back in 1994.

Currently recording new material to be released in late 2012, Mel B had this to share about the signing, “I’m overly excited to finally announce this amazing global partnership deal back home with EMI Music. I know I have mentioned doing music in the past but for legal reasons I was not in a position to release any new music. For my fans, I am happy and proud to say my music WILL be heard this year and that is for sure a promise I’m over the moon to say the least. Love me or hate me, scary spice is back, hahahaha!!!”

After Spice Girls recorded their last album ‘Forever’ in 2000, Mel began her solo career in fine style with a massive worldwide hit ‘I Want You Back’ feat. Missy Elliot’ hitting the top spot in the UK and Gold in Australia. Mel went on to sell over half a million albums with Hot (2000) and L.A.State Of Mind (2005) and achieved five Top 20 UK singles. The Spice Girls Greatest Hits peaked at No.1 in Australia in 2007.

Mel’s original and real passion is, and always will be music. She’s making an album that’s going to bookmark another incredible chapter in the career of Mel B.

2012 is all for the taking….

Mel B: I’ve got my Spice Girl body back!

The incredibly shrinking Scary Spice has reached her goal weight! She tells SEBASTIAN VAN DER ZWAN how losing 15kg has made her a better mum.

Slipping easily into a tiny sample-size dress designed by former bandmate Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown lets out a cheer.

“Woohoo!” she grins. “I didn’t have to squeeze into it, there was no huffing and puffing, and I didn’t have to put on a gazillion pairs of Spanx underneath. I don’t even have to constantly suck my stomach in.”

Just six months since giving birth to her third daughter Madison, after 20 weeks on Jenny Craig, Mel has lost a whopping 15 kilos to reach her goal weight of 60kg.

But it’s not just that she’s got her pre-baby body back. In fact, with her miniscule waist and toned arms, she looks as fit and fabulous as she did in her days as the wildest member of the world’s most famous girl band.

If there was a Spice Girls reunion in the next few months, as Mel has hinted, she could be back on stage in those same old racy outfits. No mean feat considering she was just 21 when the group achieved global fame – and these days she’s a 36-year-old mother-of-three.

“It’s crazy,” Mel agrees. “I’m not so keen on the platform heels, hot pants and little bra tops these days. And I’ve got extra tattoos, different hair, a bigger diamond on my hand, and I’m a bit more mature in the face. But otherwise I’m still the same girl from 15 years ago. The six-pack is back!”

Mel B’s joy: I’ve lost the jiggle

// January 2nd, 2012 // 2 Comments » // Blog

A shrinking Scary Spice talks to Sebastian van der Zwan

Admiring her newly svelte shape as she tries on a tight, bright bandage dress for our photo shoot, Melanie Brown is finally happy with what she sees in the mirror.

“Before, I wasn’t completely, 100 per cent comfortable looking at myself,” she confesses, “but now it feels good!”

The X Factor Australia judge and former Spice Girl tipped the scales at 75kg shortly after giving birth to her third daughter, Madison, in September.

Now, after 12 weeks on Jenny Craig and working out with her Fitness First trainer, Mel has lost 7.5 kilos, weighing in at 67.5kg.

Exactly halfway to her goal weight of 60kg, the feisty Brit says she’s relieved she no longer has to wear Spanx under every outfit.

“Everything just feels a lot tighter,” she laughs. “There’s much less jiggle! Before, there was jiggle all over. Now I’m just jiggling in the right places.”
