Spice Surprise

Not being a person to turn down a freebie, I recently was given the new album by former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

I figured it would be better to accept an album that might not be very good, than to burn bridges with the PR person offering it by turning it down.

I was in for a pleasant surprise. At some point, Ginger Spice learned to sing. "Passion" is a decent little collection of tunes. It's a mix of well-executed torch-song material and "Kylie"-styled electro-pop. Way better than I imagined it would be.

And well worth a listen. Goes to show, you should never turn down a freebie. You never know what you might get.
