Editorial Reviews

The once and future Sporty Spice has apparently spent a lot of time listening to Garbage over the past few years; that band's techno-guitar meld and sassy female vocals cast a long shadow over Northern Star, Melanie C's first solo album. Complete with cropped hair, a nose ring, and tattoos (real? temporary?), the C-girl leaps fearlessly into alt-rock, admirably ignoring the potential for incongruity. Her vocals are perhaps surprisingly strong, her songs (written in collaboration with TLC's Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes, Ray of Light coproducer William Orbit, and a raft of other pros) less so. Why, indeed, does the rain fall from the sky, as she inquires of a lost lover on "Why"? C takes time out from the slavish Shirley Manson worship to indulge in widescreen balladry ("Closer") and Small Faces-esque Britpop ("Suddenly Monday"). What all this adds up to is hardly an embarrassment, but not a totally convincing style change either. --Rickey Wright
