Debut solo album for artist aka Posh Spice. 12 tracks including the first hit single, 'Not Such An Innocent Girl', 'A Mind Of It's Own' & 'I.O.U'. 2001. Album Description

Best album from all the solo Spice Girls!

Victoria Beckham/Posh Spice was always my favorite member of the Spice Girls. I also thought she was the most attractive out of all of them too! Well it just so happens that her solo debut album is the best solo debut out of all the Spice Girls! I like every song, especially "Not Such An Innocent Girl" and "A Mind of It's Own", both hits in England. The songs on this album are well written and she sounds great! I don't know why a lot of people say she can't sing, I think she has a good voice. I think she deserved more solos when she was with the Spice Girls. So anyway if you're a Spice Girls fan or like Posh you'll like this album like I did. It's definately worth the price! March 4, 2008

I Was Surprised...But I Actually Enjoyed This Album

I first came across Victoria's solo work thru Youtube and I decided to check out some of her tracks. Let me just say that, whoever thought that Victoria couldn't sing and was just the girl in the Spice Girls' that wore short dresses is seriously mistaken. This girl actually has talent and gave a decent vocal range and songs that females could relate to.
Her first two singles "Not Such An Innocent Girl" and "A Mind of Its Own" are very poppy songs with good videos to accompany them. Then there "Like That " where Victoria is telling women not to accept & make excuses for behavior from their no- good men. "I.O.U." is dedicated to David of her professing her love to him. "Girlfriend" is involving Victoria meeting a guy at the club and his woman finding her number in his pocket & telling her to back off of her & handle her man. "Every Part of Me" is dedicated to her son, Brooklyn and how much is existence has changed her for the better. " Whatchu Talkin Bout" is clearly about Geri leaving the group and you finally get to hear how she really felt about her.
While there are many good tracks on the album, there are a few that could've been left off the album like the bland "Unconditional Love" and "No, Trix, No Games" otherwise everything is satisfactory or better.
Spice Girls fans wouldn't be disappointed and pop fans could appreciate it also. And if you get a hold of her other two unreleased albums "OPen YOur Eyes" and "Come Together" you wouldn't be disappointed.

p.s. You can find her second unreleased album "Open Your Eyes" on [...] March 3, 2008

What a Great Surprise

I didn't know that Victoria had recorded solo work. I only recently discovered her music while checking out other music on [...]. I noticed that someone had Victoria Beckham on their playlist. I was trying to figure out why she was on someone playlist so I checked on the song and fell in love with the song. I don't remember the exact song now because I searched IMEEM.com using Victoria's name and found all of these songs which I really, really enjoyed listening to. So I decided to see if I could get at least one of her CD's on [...], which I was able to do. I got the VB CD and I LOVE ALL OF THE SONGS on that CD. Now, I trying to find out how to get the songs "Full Stop," "Gone," "TheHustler," and many more. Believe me, you won't be dissapointed. To be honest I didn't think that Victoria could really sing, but boy was I wrong. January 18, 2008

The Second-Best Solo Spice Album

It would be hard to outdo Emma Buntons' epic "Free Me" album. That CD remains to me perhaps the best thing to come out of the entire Spice Girls franchise. I have had Victoria's album in some form or the other for the last four years or so, and have found that despite its' many minor flaws, it is as fresh and listenable as it was all those years ago. Remember that this is a rarity in Britpop, a genre that sound immediately dated once a record is about two months old.

"Not Such an Innocent Girl" was the lead single here, and though it has a fine hook, it is certainly not the best track on the album. Simple choruses and hugely infectious beats are the mainstay of the album, and its fairly obvious that they wanted to mass-market this as much as they could. The album officially flopped in the UK, but I must say that this is certainly better than most of the albums put out by some of the other Spice Girls. For starters, this is better than Geri Halliwells' "Schizophonic", and light years ahead of Melanie B's "Hot".

Personal favorite here is "A Mind of its Own". This is a song that deserved great chart success but is instead relegated to second rung - though I can't imagine why they didn't promote this entire album more aggressively. On tracks such as "No Trix" and "I Wish", its evident that this is an album topped up with potential singles - and the failure of this album will always remain a surprise to me.

Victoria Beckham is not the greatest vocalist. But hey, neither are Madonna or Kylie Minogue. Victoria actually recorded TWO follow-up albums to this - one entitled "Come Together", and the other was "Open My Eyes", but due to some reason or another, both remain unreleased. Pity, because for all her supposed pretentiousness and celebrity allure, the truth is Mrs. Beckham is a solid solo pop star, and if this remains the only album she records, then I'm fine with that, because at least she put out one spectacular record.

Its mighty hard for ANY British female pop star to make a record better than Emma Buntons' "Free Me", but with this album Victoria came pretty close. If you're a pop fan at all, this is essential listening. Try to get it off Amazon's UK Store, as the price there is far more reasonable.

Four Stars. December 18, 2007
