Members of The Spice Girls are apparently divided over what to do with their large collection of unreleased material. According to The Mirror today, the girl group are clashing over what to do with the collection of almost 60 recorded but unreleased songs.
According to the paper, both Mel B and Mel C are keen to make some of the material available for fans, either through a download or formal release. However, the two are said to have found opposition from the other members of the band who have other priorities at present.
Speaking to the paper, a source (supposedly) close to the band said: "From a possible 60 tracks, three or four would be guanranteed No1 s and there's definitely a solid album's worth from the songs. Although such a release would generate millions, it's not about the money.”
"Both Melanies want to open up the band to a new generation of fans and keep the memory of the Spice Girls alive. They also believe it's sound commercial sense to keep options open for new work down the line.”
The source added: "But Victoria has a hugely successful career as a designer and is pregnant. She'd rather distance herself from the group to concentrate on that. She's not keen to revisit the Spice Girls days. Also, if Simon Fuller doesn't feel the timing is right, Emma and Geri don't want to go against him. But it is safe to say this divide is causing friction within the group."
Speculation about the group’s potential re-re-forming is bound to become a prevalent issue when their musical ‘Viva Forever’, which is currently being penned by comedienne Jennifer Saunders, eventually enters production stages.
