Melanie C – ‘Into You’ reviewed

Against the expectation, nay dread, of an onslaught of claustrophobic ballads penned by non-touring musicians following the Covid pandemic, in true Spice Girl modus operandi, Melanie C has been the complete opposite by releasing an infectious dance track.

Recorded during lockdown, Melanie was determined to write a forward-looking tune. She told Graham Norton on his radio show: “I don’t want to write a song inspired what we are going through. I want to look ahead. I want to be in Ibiza, on a beach, partying ’til dawn.”

Produced by duo Billen Ted, Into You anticipates a return to clubs with what the young people apparently call a “four to the floor” party anthem. An infectious infusion of pop, electronic music and disco, the tracks has hooks and rises aplenty to guarantee suitable dancefloor euphoria.
