Melanie C – Sweat

Label: Virgin Music

Release Date: 1 May

Hear the latest single and album releases here.

The album kicks off with the titular track; a pulsing, dancefloor banger that has all of the right ingredients for an anthem. It is pop that is playful, invigorating, and catchy as hell with a drop that insists that the body moves. ‘Drum Machine’ keeps the energy high, ‘What Could Possibly Go Wrong’ shimmers with definition akin to a Robyn pop anthem, and ‘Pressure’ strobes with house sensibilities. ‘Good For Nothing’ high-kicks the expired out, and ‘Free To Love’ is a euphoric release.

Whilst the influence of 80’s aerobic culture is certainly present, Melanie C feels at home in this synth-laden, neon-drenched zone. It’s empowering – staying true to her Girl Power signature – but it’s wholly Melanie C at her most formed with vocals flying and beats jumping. There are moments where it verges on cheesy, but in this context it works.
