"Are you ready??? Mel B's New album already release, I wait for this Album almost 2.5 years...She is SO HOT ,good Hip/hop and R&B voice.... This album record the first single "I want you back"...but, Unfortunely, they don't have "WORD UP"... I will buy her all import single and album...I like "Tell me" this song very much....How about you???? If you are Mel B's fans...you have to get one... SO HOT Cover, voice and tone skin color...."
""Tell Me" is a massive hit, one of Melanie's best up to date! I did not like her album that much, but boy, does she have it for the singles! All good...The producer of this song is Darkchild. Therefore, you know what you get, right here... Nothing really new, but he always delivers the goods, and he sure did not miss out with Mel B here. Neither did she, because she proves here that she handles singing solo very well. I would say that out of all her singles, "Tell Me" is probably the one that depicts her personality best.The two remixes are good and typically Melanie B, one dance remix and the other one is more RnB, urban-style with rap.The video is lovely, very convincing and entertaining. The choreography and set-up are perfect for the song and Melanie is also gorgeous. It's a shame that this song did not do very well in the charts, but it's defintely among my personal faves!"
"Tell Me" 's a Hit!

"First Track Listing as I've received. (1) TELL ME (RADIO EDIT) (2) TELL ME (SOUL CENTRAL REMIX (3) TELL ME (SILK'S HOUSE WORKOUT 7-INCH REMIX) (4) TELL ME (ENHANCED VIDEO ELEMENTS).Melanie didn't do to well with her last solo single "Word Up." She remade Cameo's hit, and didn't do too well. I think "Tell Me" will make up for it! The song "Tell Me" itself is a hack back at her soon to be ex-husband... , basically telling the listener that he consistantly lied to her about things, and was only there to steal her money. The Soul Central Remix is a bit slower, and starts with a male voice (counter part) as Melanie sings. There is a bouncy bass line, but a definate rap feel, I'd say...but she's added a bit of "Spice" to it...as if she'd made it back in the 70's. It's got a 70's feel to it...funk like, maybe it would be something you'd hear off a 70's movie. Stringed instruments are involved. The ending is quite unique compared to the rest of the song, and ends without the aid of Mel's lyrics.The Workout Remix is a quicker pace than the original. The introduction is very fierce but straight. The Bass line is similiar to the bass line in the duet song by Mousse T. vs. Hot N Juicy. It's definately got that workout/dance beat and rhythm to it. Piano counters the bass line during the chorus throughout the majority of the song. The interlude is similiar to the intro, but adds some unique beats and sounds, which creates a lasting effect, then fades to end.The Video is also very unique...but rather to spoil it, I'll let you buy the single so you can form your own opinion!This is a MUST buy, just for the remixes, even if you HATE "Tell Me!

""Tell Me" by Scary Spice, Melanie B is a great track. This CD also comes with the video to her No. 1 R&B single. It made No. 4 on the pop charts but that is pretty well. If you like R&B and awsome lyrics that go along with her life then this is the song for you. Mel has gone on her own to make her flavor of music which was previously unheard from the Spice Girls"
