Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Like her or loathe her, Geri Halliwell can't seem to do anything quietly, which is why her second solo album is appropriately titled Scream if you Wanna Go Faster. Gone are the strings, breathy vocals and Diva like aspirations of her debut Schizophonic, Geri instead settling on a more straightforward pop approach. After the pointless motor-engine samples of "Dragster" (bizarrely a track on their own) she launches into "Scream if you Wanna Go Faster", a 1960s tinged rock track. What follows is a rather hotchpotch of style and influences that refuse to settle into a cohesive whole. Geri serves up helpings of acoustic ballads in "Circle Round the Moon" and "Love is the Only Light", up-beat funk with "Shake Your Bootie Cutie" and "Feels Like Sex". She is again extolling the virtues of girl power in "Strength of a Woman and even slips back into Spice Girls mode for "Don't Call Me Baby", which sounds rather similar to her former group's "Stop". Geri's vocal range is particularly limited but she wisely never stretches herself. The bad apple and easily the worst song on the album is her pointless, tacky cover of "It's Raining Men", which manages to trample all over the melody and subvert the innocent playful lyrics of the original and create something rather more tawdry. Penultimate track "Heaven and Hell (Being Geri Halliwell)" is an enjoyable send-up of her celebrity image and a poke at tabloid journalists but Heaven and Hell is also a fitting description of this brave but ultimately flawed second album. --Duncan Whitlam


CD Description

Second solo effort from former Ginger Spice. Features a cover version of the classic Weathergirls anthem 'It's Raining Men', from 'Bridget Jones's Diary'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Geri's done it again!, 23 Aug 2004
I still think Schizophonic was better (slightly) but this is still astonking album. Geri enlisted the production skills of Gregg Alexander (New Radicals) for this album, that's why "Shake Your Bootie Cutie" and "Strength Of A Woman" sound similar to "You Get What You Give" (by the New Radicals) in places. This strengthens the album but also gives it an overall sound (each track on Schizophonic sounded different to the next). It's also sometimes very obvious where Geri gets her inspiration from, i.e. Lovey Dovey Stuff bears a striking resemblance to "Englishman In New York" by Sting (they both mention tea in the first line and you can sing one on top of the other). This doesn't stop it from being a great album though. It's a shame "Feels Like Sex" was never released as a single - top tune!

5.0 out of 5 stars START SCREAMING THE HALLIWELL GOSPEL, 29 May 2001
By A Customer
With the infamous new figure and the love/hate cover version of It's Raining Men, the original princess of pop returns with a surprisingly cracking album. Scream if you wanna go faster is an up-beat, storming pop album. Geri plays to her strengths in her second solo albu, and if this is anything to go by, far from last. Opening with the 60s retro title track Scream if you wanna go faster, things take a slight dip with the next track, Shake your Bootie Cutie. Although it's not a bad song, her referances to sexy daddies and hot mammas are laughable. Things pick up with the belt-it-out ballad Calling, and reach further heights with the infuriatingly funky soon-to-be single Feels like Sex. Circles round the Moon is next, a delightfully summary song rumoured to be on the Harry Potter soundtrack. Things take a more mellow approach with Love is the only Light, which is very pleasant rather than cracking. However, it is made up with the GIRL POWERness of Strength of a woman, a mix between Emma Bunton and Ronan Keaton. Don't Call me Baby arrives next, a brilliant Motown-esque track, followed by the frankly annoying reggae attempt in Lovey Dovey stuff. It's Raining Men storms out of your sound system next, sounding better with every listen. Next, Heaven & Hell (Being Geri Halliwell) pops out of the blue, a punk rock/pop track full of humour and good messages. I was made that way floats nicely away and calls the end to an irrisistabley addictive album. For fans of Schizophonic, you will only grow with love for Miss Halliwell. For those of you who wanted to slap her whenever she popped up on TOTP, you will be eating an enormous slice of humble pie. Geri has finally found her level musically and lyrically, and has crafted a delightful pop album which you can simply not ignore. Bravo Miss Halliwell!

5.0 out of 5 stars Geri excels herself, 17 May 2001
By A Customer
1 - Scream If You Wanna Go Faster - The title track and rumoured to be the next single. It's a rockier track than Geri is used to, obviously influenced by George Micheal. A high energy song, with a cathcy chorus. 8/10

2 - Shake Your Bootie Cutie - Alike to Bag It Up, this is probably the catchiest song on the album and is probably the one that will stand out at first. The whole song is tacky, the lyrics are awful 'Sexy daddy baby', but it all bodes together really well and one of the best on the album. 9/10

3. Calling - A big, Latino influenced ballad that shows Geri's voice at its best - her limited voice fares well in these slower songs. This song has been hailed by many as the best song on the album, not my personal favourite, but then again it isn't my type of song. I like it, just find it rather boring if not in the right mood. 7/10

4. Feels Like Sex - Geri's raunchiest song 'Ever felt too hot to go to bed, touched yourself instead?'. This was going to be the first song released, but then Raining Men came along and to coincide with Bidget Jones Diary she had to release that instead, so almost a definite bet for a single. Cool and funky, another great song. 8/10

5. Circles Round the Moon - Called the albums 'Lift Me Up', but for me pales when compared to it. It seems to lack any real emotion and is far too laid back, then again it is a nice song. This is rumoured to be put on the 'Harry Potter' films sound track as the song is influenced by the novels. Not my favourite, but still good. 7/10

6. Love is the Only Light - As sung on TOTP. Another ballad, a slow song that sticks to the same pop song routine and explores no new ground. Probably the best ballad on the album in my opinion. Simplistic and very natural sounding. 8/10

7. Strength of a Woman - My personal favourite on the album, it's very catchy and cheerful - the type of song that the Spice Girls would sing before they attempted R&B. A typical Geri song and another typical pop song. I don't really know why this song appeals to me so much, it is just so 'good!' 10/10

8 - Don't Call Me Baby - This is very alike to 'Stop', but sadly not as good. An obvious filler for the album, but still good. And no it is not a cover of 'Madison Avenue' 7/10

9 - Lovey Dovey Stuff - Geri doing reggae - *shock*. A nice laid back song that just drifts away, sadly it drifts away so much that it's instantly forgettable. The worst song on the album for me. 6/10

10. It's Raining Men - The critics call this the worst song on the album, but in my opinion it is great. I don't really need to explain it much as I'm sure most of you have heard it. Very catchy and well produced. 10/10

11. Heaven and Hell (Being Geri Halliwell) - Geri talks about the disadvantages of being famous, it is all really a big mickey take out of the media and herself. It is Geri just having fun, an obvious bonus track. Catchy albeit disjointed. 7/10

12 - I Was Made That Way - One of the bonus tracks to 'It's Raining Men' - a ballad. This is a half hearted, tired sounding song is actually good, but not great, it lacks something special that most of the other songs have. 6.5/10

Overall - This is far better than Schizophonic, Geri's lost the breathy diva style voice and just gone for attemtping pure pop songs that will appeal to her fans. It lacks any sense of depth, but that is why it is such a great pop album. It wont go down in history, but will be remembered by her fans as being a good pop album. If you like pop you will love this, Geri isn't trying to be something she is not, her voice suits these songs much better. But if you hated Raining Men, don't be discouraged as it has been hailed by far the worst track on the album, but if you loved Raining Men you will probably love this album. Geri at her best!
