Spiceworld

The Spice Girls’ second album zig-a-zig-ahhs with even more bite than their debut, boasting bigger hooks, richer harmonies, and more confidence. The Girls salute positivity on the slinky, samba-fueled "Spice Up Your Life," while the peppy "Stop" apes '60s girl groups and "Never Give Up on the Good Times" delves into the sparkling string vamps of '70s disco. On "Move Over," meanwhile, they call out to "generation next": Like the rest of the album, it's a statement of purpose that doubles as dance-floor manifesto.
