Geri Halliwell - "Schizophonic" Part 1: 'Look At Me' and Album Highlights [Solo Spice Girls: Revisited]11 Jul 202501:04:54

Welcome to our Summer of "Schizophonic", pop fans, where what you see IS what you are getting! We are heading back to our school days of 1998 and 1999 to revisit the iconique debut solo album by Geri Halliwell.

Arriving literally just one year after Geri dropped the bombshell of the century that she was leaving the Spice Girls - one of the planet's biggest pop girl groups ever - our Gezza went on to execute the greatest comeback and solo career debut there ever was. With pure bombast, confidence and sense of drama, this episode looks into one of the most exciting PR masterclasses known to our generation of music fans with Geri's transition from Ginger Spice to solo superstar.

Joel and David kick things off with a deep dive into the debut single 'Look At Me' - an unapologetically camp statement of intent - and Geri's accompanying global press tour, before going into personal album highlights from "Schizophonic".

Stay tuned for Part Two where we get into the chart-topping singles 'Mi Chico Latino', 'Lift Me Up' and 'Bag It Up'!

121: Hilary Duff - 10 Years of "Breathe In. Breathe Out"19 Jun 202501:20:19
Pop fans, we totally feel your heart go (*whistle melody*) as soon as you saw this episode's title! It is a big swipe right from us as we break tradition to venture into the 2010s for this super special 10 year anniversary of Hilary Duff's last album, "Breathe In. Breathe Out.".

This album has been on a colourful journey from 2012 through to 2015, resulting in a vibrant melting pot of mainstream Top 40 EDM-pop and country-pop. For Hilary Duff's first album in eight years, she tapped some of pop's best hitmakers from Tove Lo to Ed Sheeran and Toby Gad, ILYA and Savan Kotecha (who have worked with Beyonce, Ariana Grande and Britney). We revisit all the highlights from 'Chasing The Sun' and 'All About You' to 'Sparks', 'One In A Million', 'Tattoo', 'Confetti' and more!

Join the JB - our resident platinum card-holding Hilary Duff stan - and David as we get out the choppy bob and pastel hair chalk to reminisce on this time in pop culture where we've swapped CD:UK for Shazam.

112: Kylie Minogue - “Ultimate Kylie”, “Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour", 'I Believe In You' and 'Giving You Up'13 Feb 202501:15:16
As Our Kylie prepares to kick off the Tension World Tour this month, Joel and David don the old ostrich-feathered headdresses and step back in time for a little Showgirl glamour! 

We pick up our Kylie Ann journey in 2004 with her immaculately presented "Ultimate Kylie" compilation. Together we revisit the stunning Scissor Sisters co-write 'I Believe In You' and the edgy Xenomania gems 'Giving You Up' and 'Made of Glass' - plus a couple lost tracks from this era (shout out, 'Lovin You' and 'Everything I Know').

Next, we strap on the sparkly heels and take you on a glittery journey through highlights from Kylie's epic 2005 "Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour". This dazzling career-spanning concert really had it all, from the 80s crowd-pleaser hits through to the artistic 90s gems and early 2000s renaissance hits! Wall to wall classics: 'I Should Be So Lucky', 'Hand On Your Heart', 'Can't Get You Out of My Head', 'Confide In Me', 'Slow', 'Red Blooded Woman' and so much more!

Pour yourself a little Kylie wine and prepare to twirl with your favourite 2000s pop explorers with this one. But... whatever you do, don't run to the bar during the encore!

22: Dannii Minogue05 Mar 202001:19:18
Dannii once prophesied, 'You Won't Forget About Me'... and never have truer words been spoken. Pop a bottle of bubbly, get your disco heels on, and join Joel and David in celebration of The People's Minogue. They start with 1997's "Girl" era where Dannii's reign as the UK's undisputed Queen of Clubs began. Together they breakdown the singles from the stomping dance hit 'All I Wanna Do' through to the career-redefining "Neon Nights" album and its killer singles 'Who Do You Love Now?', 'Put The Needle On It', 'I Begin To Wonder' and 'Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling'. From 'inventing high-speed broadband' to starring in musical theatre, and performing in front of 100,000 people in Hyde Park (after Beyoncé!)... Dannii Minogue has often been underestimated but, at every turn, emerges triumphant to show why she's a true industry legend.

Things get seriously cheetah-licious this week as David and Joel look into the crossover lives of two iconic 2000s girl groups: 3LW and The Cheetah Girls.

They reminisce on 3LW's debut with the Y2K R&B classic ‘No More (Baby I’ma Do Right)’, their sassy second album "A Girl Can Mack", the shock departure of band member Naturi Naughton, and the new path 3LW’s Kiely Williams and Adrienne Bailon forged by joining ‘The Cheetah Girls’ alongside Sabrina Bryan and Disney royalty Raven-Symoné. Joel takes David on a whirlwind journey of the Disney Channel Original Movie trilogy of The Cheetah Girls. Together they cover the runaway success of the first film and its soundtrack, 3LW’s attempt to comeback with a third album, followed by the even bigger "The Cheetah Girls 2" movie and soundtrack, then The Cheetah Girls (without Raven) recording their debut album "TCG", and the disappointing final film "Cheetah Girls: One World"... and much more!

In anticipation for the Spice Girls' 2019 reunion tour, David and Joel take a wine-filled trip back to the iconic Solo Spice Girls era between 1998 and 2000. After Geri leaving the band in 1998, the stage was set for an exciting and hectic two-and-a-half years which saw 21 Spice-related records fired out, spawning five solo careers, two heated chart battles, and millions of singles sold worldwide. We take a look at the launch of Mel B's R&B-flavoured solo career, Geri's headline-snatching "Schizophonic" era including the unforgettable 2000s Brit Awards moment, Melanie C's confident and critically-nodded "Northern Star" debut, and Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham's tentative first steps out with 'What I Am' and 'Out of Your Mind'... and all that's in between! Prepare to immerse yourself in the chaos and colour of overlapping solo and Spice Girls campaigns as five individuals make their mark, while a third Spice Girls album - "Forever" - looms large.

111: Heidi Montag - 15 Years of "Superficial", the viral hit ‘I’ll Do It’ and 'Body Language'24 Jan 202500:58:07
Are we witnessing one of pop's greatest vindications right now? This month marks the 15th anniversary of Heidi Montag's "Superficial" - a fabulous album of 'all killers no fillers' that was largely misunderstood by the general public at the time. 

Fast forward to 2025 and the album finally cracked the Billboard 200 for the first time this week, thanks to the overwhelming support of fans and a long-overdue reappraisal, sparked by a rogue album track ('I'll Do It') going TikTok viral!  

This iconique body of work features contributions from A-list pop hitmakers like Cathy Dennis (Kylie, Britney), Steve Morales (Enrique Iglesias, Celine Dion), and more! Joel - our resident OG Heidi Montag stan - is coming into the spotlight on this one to share his favourite "Superficial" highlights and give us a guided tour of her pop gems like 'Body Language', 'Fashion' (originally by Lady Gaga), 'Blackout', 'More Is More', and 'Higher'.

Rising to global stardom through MTV's hit reality series The Hills, Heidi Blair Montag and hubby Spencer Pratt have been a power couple in reality entertainment for almost 20 years. It has been wonderful to see the internet rally behind Heidi and Spencer. We are sending their family and everyone affected by the devastating California wildfires so much love in these times.

This week David and Joel revisit two teen vocal queens of the 2000s: Stacie Orrico and JoJo. We dig deep into their catalogue to discover what made them such beloved artists of this era. We explore Stacie's fizzy Christian pop debut album "Genuine" to the glossy crossover of 'Stuck' and '(There's Gotta Be) More to Life', through to her retreat from the limelight and "Beautiful Awakening".  We reminisce on JoJo's iconic self-titled debut album, 'Leave (Get Out)', her Hollywood big break (hello "Aquamarine"!), her confident second album "The High Road" with 'Too Little Too Late', plus the difficult years in limbo with her label, and her absolutely triumphant return.

Are you ready to let yourself go and 'Get Right' with your Right Back At Ya! boys? We're about to sign you up to an all-inclusive 20th anniversary celebration of Jennifer Lopez's deliciously funky R&B album, "Rebirth".

Joel and David hop 'on the 6' time machine and whizz back to 2005, where Our Jennifer Lynn (as she's affectionately known on the pod) is making a fresh start after splitting with Ben Affleck the first time. The Bronx diva came back with one of her hottest records, 'Get Right' - thanks to the funk go-go genius producer Rich Harrison. This instant smash, complete with an unforgettable multi-character music video, symbolised Jenny showing up and showing off what she does best!

With Fat Joe, Timbaland, Brandy, Darkchild, Marc Anthony, Danja and more involved; "Rebirth" really deserved to have been an even bigger album with more singles! #JusticeForRebirth

109: Cheryl - "3 Words"08 Jan 202501:12:13
Stand up, Soldiers! We are kicking off 2025 strong with a celebration of Cheryl's monumental chart-topping debut solo album era. After seven years with Girls Aloud and winning hearts as a judge on The X Factor, our Nation's Sweetheart went all in with 'Fight For This Love' - not only a powerful statement in the midst of the media frenzy surrounding her personal life, but a killer debut solo outing! 

The album that followed, "3 Words", was exec produced by Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am - a major co-sign from one of the planet's biggest hitmakers at the time, which helped Chezza chart in countries Girls Aloud had never had a chance to crack before. 

Join Joel and David as they pick their album faves and break down the singles ('Fight For This Love', '3 Words' and 'Parachute') and their stunning music videos, unforgettable live performances, and b-sides! And while we've got you, pet. Fancy a tipple at "Cheryl Cole's Night In" with Holly Willoughby, Alexandra Burke and Rihanna?

108: Victoria Beckham - 21 Years of 'This Groove', 'Let Your Head Go' & "The Réal Beckhams" Tracks [Solo Spice Girls: Revisited]29 Dec 202401:13:47
"Hi, it's us. You won't believe what we're doing." Pop fans, for our final episode of 2024 we absolutely couldn't miss celebrating 21 years of Victoria Beckham's final solo single (to date).

Join Joel and David as they revisit one of their favourite solo Spice Girls eras: Victoria Beckham's double A-side single 'This Groove' / 'Let Your Head Go'. Two different vibes, two stunning music videos and live performance meauxments that dominated telly throughout December 2003 and January 2004.

Posh went all out with the electro-pop dance banger 'Let Your Head Go' and the silky, R&B siren's bop 'This Groove', giving fans a taste of two potential bodies of work from her new record deal with Telstar Records.

We revisit the lore of this era all the way through to the R&B-flavoured tracks exec produced by hip-hop mogul Damon Dash of Roc-A-Fella Records that were included on "The Réal Beckhams" DVD. Most infamously, 'Resentment', which was later covered by Beyoncé.

What solo Spice Girls project should we revisit next? Let us know in the comments!

106: "The Girls Aloud Party" - ITV Christmas Special "Out of Control" Era10 Dec 202400:57:50
We are kicking off the year-end party season with a recap of Girls Aloud's brilliant 2008 ITV special, "The Girls Aloud Party". With comedy sketches - featuring appearances by Cilla Black, Paul O'Grady and more - as well as exclusive performances of songs from their "Out of Control" album; this was an imperial Girls Aloud era. There was truly something for everyone here - from performances of their well-worn hits like 'Something Kinda Ooooh' to 'Love Machine' through to more 'current' material like 'The Promise' and 'The Loving Kind', and duets with The Kaiser Chiefs and the very dishy (or so David thinks) James Morrison. Hopefully this episode will give you a chuckle and keep you company during this festive season. If you're doing your Christmas wrapping or going on a trip listening to this, let us know where we're going!

105: Discovering: Ellie Campbell & Tata Young27 Nov 202401:02:14
From Huddersfield to Bangkok, pop fans - are you ready for an adventure? Join Joel and David as they kick start a new ‘Discovering’ series where they each pick a hidden gem of an artist from the 2000s and select 5 songs from their catalogue for a taste test!

Signed to Jive Records and launched in 1999, British pop starlet Ellie Campbell looked and sounded like a ready-made pop star here for the GMTV and Smash Hits audience!

Despite having no formal singing or dance training, Ellie’s warm soulful tone and star quality was undeniable.

The Yorkshire songstress worked with same hitmakers behind Steps (Pete Waterman, Mark Topham, Karl Twigg), launched a handful of singles - including the UK Top 30 smash ‘So Many Ways’ - and even found herself performing at the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras! Though she wasn’t in the pop game for long, Ellie’s bops are forever - and her self-titled album “Ellie” is a real gem! 

Before LISA from BLACKPINK, in the 2000s, the world had Thai pop princess Tata Young. Her crossover success in Japan, India, China and across Southeast Asia was pretty much unheard of. Thanks in huge part to her fun signature banger and your new favourite bratty anthem: ‘Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy’ (co-written by legendary pop songwriter Savan Kotecha, who has worked with Ariana Grande, Britney, One Direction, and Dannii Minogue).  

Tata’s catalogue of English tunes is top-tier, as she brings her Main Pop Girl Energy to songs that would be released in the West by Ashley Tisdale, The Cheetah Girls, Play and more. The writing credits on her three English albums read like a ‘who’s who’ of RBAY! royalty - Jamelia, Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield, Samantha Jade etc. 

If you’re liking this ‘Discovering’ concept - let Joel and David know in the comments who you’d like us to cover next!

104: The Veronicas - "Hook Me Up"18 Nov 202401:27:37
Get the eyeliner out, grab your guitars and throw on a pair of roughed-up Converse because we are getting dead pop-punky (but also dancefloor ready) for this episode! Joel and a very back-combed hair David are throwing back to The Veronicas' killer double-platinum-selling album, "Hook Me Up", first launched in 2007. This fun, heady, emotional and edgy body of work summed up the sound of our youth in the late 2000s, mixing pop, rock and electro with incredible, relatable lyrics. It spawned The Veronicas' best-known smash hit 'Untouched', gave them their first No.1 single, and gave us irresistible floorfillers like 'Take Me On The Floor' and 'Popular'. Whether you're rocking out to '4ever' or aching with long-distance love to the Kesha-penned 'This Love', this album has it all. Over a period of two years, this era took the talented Aussie twins to new heights across the globe, from touring the States to playing outside the iconic Hollyoaks pub, Dog In The Pond, and even co-presenting duties with Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale and Zac Efron.

103: Spice Girls - "Spice"01 Nov 202401:41:40
Here we go! Here we go! This year marks 30 years since the Spice Girls were formed and as a podcast literally named after a Spice Girls album track, we simply could not let this milestone slip away without some kind of celebration!

Joel and David are breaking tradition and going all the way back to 1996 to revisit the legendary debut album "Spice". Geri, Mel B, Emma, Melanie C and Victoria completely changed the pop landscape when they crashed into the charts with 'Wannabe' that summer - quickly becoming one of the most recognisable songs in the world! This multi-million-selling album was a global success, spawning further chart-topping hits like 'Say You'll Be There', '2 Become 1', 'Mama' and 'Who Do You Think You Are?'.

We track their trajectory from a couple of 'raw Spices' to global pop stars in this short span of one album. Join us as we reminisce on all the singles, the music videos, photo shoots, album tracks, b-sides, 'lost tracks' (Justice for 'Do You Think About Me?') and unforgettable live performances of this whirlwind 12 months! 

There's obviously so much more we could cover with this era and anything to do with the Spice Girls... so if that's what you want, what you really really want... let us know in the comments!

120: Mighty Hoopla 2025 Highlights with Dannii Minogue, Tom Aspaul, Pixie Lott, Amy Studt and London Gay Men's Chorus07 Jun 202501:06:46
Happy Pride, everyone! After last weekend's joyous Mighty Hoopla festival, we simply had to jump on - with utterly fried vocal chords - to debrief and unpack our highlights with you! We're so excited to have the reactions and reflections from Dannii Minogue and incredible performers (and friends of the pod) Tom Aspaul, Pixie Lott, Amy Studt and Craig from the London Gay Men's Chorus who sang on the main stage with Samantha Mumba.

This is the first time in our seven-year history where your RBAY boys have done a post-festival highlights episode but since there were so many moments that were euphoric and specific to us 2000s pop fans - it called for a special. From A*Teens to Heidi Montag, Ciara to Supersister and many more meauxments... we hope this recap transports you to the glitter and disco-filled ambience of Brockwell Park!

We may be in our triple-figure episodes now but your Right Back At Ya! boys are 'Still Dirrty'! Join Joel and David as they go back to 2006 to celebrate Christina Aguilera's "Back To Basics" album. The incredible, multi-million-selling hit album scored Christina her most No.1s and also her biggest tour to date. 

If Caggie's giving you bang for your buck with a 2-CD collection of original tunes, then so are we! We dive into the huge hit singles, the lavish music videos, the glam, the "Back To Basics" Tour, the fan-favourite album tracks and promo performances. 

From 'Ain't No Other Man' to 'Hurt', 'Candyman' to 'Slow Down Baby' and 'Oh Mother' - this album was the abundant gift that kept on giving with collaborations from Christina Aguilera with Linda Perry, Mark Ronson, DJ Premier and many others who got her vision. This all coupled with some of the most iconic music videos of the 2000s, referencing the 1940s, 50s and 60s.

Listener advice: There are frequent and incessant references to "Caggie Aggie", "Caggie" and "Cagz" on this episode, please note they all affectionately refer to the one and only Christina Aguilera.

99: Jessica Simpson - "A Public Affair"31 Jul 202401:23:26
Grab those cowboy boots and pull on those sexy denim shorts because we are steppin' out for A Public Affair! Joel and David are heading back to 2005 and 2006 to revisit this iconic chapter in Jessica Simpson's career - and arguably, her best album to date!

As the sun was setting on her high-profile marriage to Nick Lachey and the "Newlyweds" series; Our Jessica Ann is hitting a new stride! She bagged her first film role, playing the iconic Daisy Duke in "The Dukes of Hazzard" and released one of her highest-charting singles 'These Boots Were Made For Walking'. Little did we know then that the character would become the launch pad for so many commercial opportunities for savvy Jess, including her billion-dollar retail empire!

"A Public Affair" was released the following year, with the title track grabbing headlines for all the best reasons. The music video and euphoric pop tune saw Jess step out for the ultimate girls night out with Christina Applegate, Christina Milian and Eva Longoria.

Whether she was being real and vulnerable on 'I Belong To Me' or giving you an undeniable "slagbanger" in 'Fired Up', there's plenty to enjoy on this fun and varied album; which samples everything from Dead or Alive to Diana Ross and Fleetwood Mac! We're here for the full spectrum of it.

98: Pixie Lott on 15 Years of "Turn It Up" and returning to her roots with new album "Encino"27 Jun 202401:24:08
This is one of the most special conversations we've ever had on the podcast. Joel and David are joined by chart-topping, BRIT-nominated pop singer songwriter Pixie Lott to celebrate 15 years since the release of her No.1-selling debut single, 'Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)' and the massive debut album "Turn It Up", which sold over a million copies and spawned six Top 20 singles!

But we're going even further back to Joel and Pixie's shared secondary school memories. From train journeys listening to Pixie's early demos with cheeky McDonald's, to her skipping class to sing for music mogul LA Reid and signing her first major label deal; we go back to her teens and talk about her early music influences. 

We look back on the whirlwind years of countless studio sessions with some of pop's biggest hitmakers, music video shoots, a Pixie Lott-branded plane, opening for The Saturdays and Rihanna before embarking on her own headline tour "The Crazycats Tour".

She also chats about her collaborations with Selena Gomez and Stevie Wonder, and a lost Joe Jonas duet; and how she finally created the album she has always wanted to make, "Encino".

Don't miss Pixie Lott Live at London's Hoxton Hall on 11 July - tickets now on sale. Her new single 'Somebody's Daughter' is out now, go pre-order her forthcoming album "Encino" - out on 27 September.

96: Lost Girl Bands Vol. 2 - Neon Jungle, Parade and SoundGirl21 May 202401:46:55
Joel and David are back with a new girl band episode and in a rare move for this 2000s pop podcast, we've opened the time portal and crossed into the future... the 2010s! Get ready, 'cause here comes a hurricane!

Today we're celebrating Neon Jungle, Parade and SoundGirl - three amazing UK girl groups backed by major labels that blasted on the scene between 2011 and 2013, but were sadly gone too soon. 

The vibes are confident! The fusion of electrifying girl band energy with loud fashion and even louder tunes means we are in for a seriously fun 2010s throwback episode.

Ichi, ni, san... kaisu! Neon Jungle - made up of Jess Plummer, Shireen Cutkelvin, Asami Zdrenka and Amira McCarthy - scored four UK Top 20 hits including the No.4 smash 'Braveheart'. Their incredible album "Welcome To The Jungle" is packed with bangers, written by More Mega, CockNBullKid, MNEK, A*M*E and Charli XCX! 

Grab a pair of fake glasses, a stylish hat (or silk turban!), and give yourself a spritz of perfume, 'cause Parade is here. Bianca Claxton, Jess Agombar, Emily Biggs, Sian Charlesworth and Lauren Deegan definitely made a splash on arrival with their vibrant pop bops 'Louder' and 'Perfume'. The self-titled album is the real treasure trove here!

Izzy Bizu, Olivia "Liv Lovelle" Redmond, and Nicole "Little Nikki" Shortland were SoundGirl, a pop R&B trio who worked with Miranda Cooper (Xenomania) and opened for Justin Bieber, Pixie Lott and The Wanted. It seemed criminal that they never got to release an album but we still can't get enough of the singles 'Don't Know Why' and 'I'm The Fool'!

Who would you like to see us cover for Lost Girl Bands Vol. 3?

95: Billie Piper - 'Day and Night' and the "Walk of Life" album [Revisited]25 Apr 202401:30:55
The most comprehensive podcast episode dedicated to Billie Piper's music ever? We'd be tapped in every day and night, babe! 

Depending on your walk of life, you may primarily know Billie Piper as the formidable actress, director and producer she is... or fondly recall meeting her first as a chart-dominating teen popstar of the early 2000s. Since the multi-million-selling "Honey To The B", the sensation from Swindon quickly became a major player in the British pop scene and the follow-up album was when things got super interesting.

Joel and David get into Billie's defining second and final album (to date), "Walk of Life", which was released in 2000. Top tier producers and writers include Stargate, Eliot Kennedy (Spice Girls), Kara Dioguardi, Diane Warren and more!

Among the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party and Smash Hits Tour of the time; we also dive into the singles, album highlights, b-sides, music videos, photo shoots and live performances that saw Billie shine like never before. Even, earning the title as "the UK's Britney". [Yes, we do get into the three different versions of 'Something Deep Inside'].

This is a time capsule about coming of age, pop expression and a whole lot of fun!

94: Britney Spears - "Oops!... I Did It Again"06 Apr 202401:32:01
Hush. Just. Stop. Pop fans, it’s absolutely time that we jumped back into the world of Britney on the podcast! We are travelling back to the year 2000, with location pins dropped from Mars to Miami, to celebrate Britney’s iconic second album “Oops!… I Did It Again” and its accompanying world tour, which saw her in the very same room as our very own Joel Babbington for the first time in London. 

This massively successful, Diamond-certified teen-pop album marks an 18-year-old Britney Jean beginning to evolve after the industry-shifting success of her debut “…Baby One More Time”. Whether it was showcasing a fiercer image on ‘Stronger’ with video director Joseph Kahn, or painting a portrait of a trapped celebrity in ‘Lucky’ - it’s clear Britney has something to say. What U See (Is What U Get). From the commanding MTV VMA performance of her Rolling Stones cover ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’ to the softer, sensual side of the Herb Ritts video for ‘Don’t Let Me Be The Last To Know’; Joel and David are taking you on a deep-dive like no other of this era. (Apologies in advance for the Southern Belle impressions, y’all!)

93: Pop Songwriter Hannah Robinson on Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Geri Halliwell, Rachel Stevens, Dannii Minogue, Annie, Richard X and more21 Mar 202401:22:25
We are delighted to be chatting with one of our all-time favourite British pop songwriters, Hannah Robinson. Over the past two decades; you would've no doubt had on repeat the tracks Hannah worked on. Many of which were hit singles and eternal pop fan favourites like 'Some Girls' and 'So Good' (Rachel Stevens), 'Bittersweet' and 'Me & My Imagination' (Sophie Ellis-Bextor), 'Chewing Gum' (Annie), 'You Won't Forget About Me' (Dannii Minogue), 'Love Never Loved Me' (Geri Halliwell) and more. 

In this very special episode, Joel and David sit down with Hannah to chat about how she went from recording Steps covers to writing with Richard X, and the aforementioned 2000s pop icons. 

She spills about the outrageous and unforgettable lyric from Geri Halliwell she rejected and their colourful sessions, a scandalous Frankie Bridge solo track, Nicola Roberts demos that were buried in the woods, and her career highs working with Lana Del Rey and Kylie! Undoubtedly the best "HR" meeting of our lives.

Ahead of A*Teens' eagerly-anticipated performance at Mighty Hoopla festival, your 2000s pop explorers Joel and David have gone back in the vaults to unearth one of our favourite episodes, celebrating the discography of this incredible Swedish pop group! After starting life as a teenage ABBA tribute pop group, this fab foursome quickly became a fully fledged pop act in their own right with massive bangers like 'Upside Down', 'Halfway Round The World' and 'Floorfiller'. Even opening for Britney on tour and securing appearances on Disney and Nickelodeon, growing a loyal global fanbase along the way.

Back in 2021, we were so much more ambitious by covering three albums and a Greatest Hits release in one episode! So if you're unfamiliar with the work of Dhani, Sara, Amit and Marie - here's everything you need to know and more. We're sure you'd be bouncing off the ceilings by the end of the listen.

In celebration of Kylie's "Body Language" album coming out on vinyl, your fun-loving 2000s pop explorers Joel and David are diving deep back into 2003 and 2004 to rediscover this iconique body of work. 

This is one of Kylie's most underrated albums with plenty of fan-favourites, including hits like the chart-topper 'Slow', 'Red Blooded Woman' and 'Chocolate'. The sensual and confident mix of electro-pop and R&B really took Our Kylie to a new dimension.

From "Kath & Kim" to Justin Timberlake, Britney, Dannii, Cat Deeley, Sean Paul, Ludacris, Ms Dynamite and Alexis Strum... what a truly unique mix of characters and nostalgia connected to the "Body Language" era!

91: Alexis Strum on pop justice for "Addicted" and "Cocoon" albums, plus Kylie and Rachel Stevens15 Feb 202400:48:18
We love a bit of pop justice, don't we?! And today we're fist-pumping through a ton of it in our bubbly and inspiring catch up with Alexis Strum, one of Britain's best kept pop secrets of the 2000s. 

Kylie and Rachel Stevens recorded Alexis's songs, which became everlasting fan favourites. She has written with Billy Steinberg (Madonna, Cyndi Lauper), Brian Higgins and Richard X and yet, tragically, neither of her two major label albums ever saw the light of day... until 2023 when Alexis managed to get them released officially, two decades later. 

At last, fans can enjoy "Addicted" and "Cocoon" - the two contrasting and sumptuous sides of Alexis Strum's 2000s output. "Addicted" - a self-dubbed "sexy, electro bitch" body of work - almost was her official debut. The once-lost album features 'Nothing Good About This Goodbye' (done with Xenomania, later released by Rachel Stevens) and 'Still Standing' (recorded by Kylie on her "Body Language" album). The following album, "Cocoon", presented a more authentic, singer-songwriter artiste - featuring the single 'Bad Haircut', 'World Without Your Love' and 'Go My Own Way'. 

Joel and David find out how Alexis has navigated the ups and downs of being a popstar in the 2000s, how she has harnessed the power of social media to tell her story and re-written her narrative. This is an episode unlike any other!

90: Emma Bunton - 20 Years of "Free Me" [Solo Spice Girls: Revisited]02 Feb 202401:13:20
Pour yourself a dirty martini and get ready to go from Girl Power to Flower Power as we celebrate 20 years of Emma Bunton's "Free Me" album. Widely recognised as one of the best solo Spice Girls albums, this iconic body of work - with its lush 60s pop, Motown and bossa nova influences - completely revamped Our Baby's career with four UK Top 20 hits: 'Free Me', 'Maybe', 'I'll Be There' and 'Crickets Sing For Anamaria'. From sexy Bond Girl vibes to cheeky cruise ship bops, Joel and David will be getting into the singles, music videos, photoshoots, album highlights, live performances and b-sides for a complete, all-inclusive celebration of this Emma era!

This year also marks 30 years of Spice Girls' formation, so if you'd like some more 2000s solo Spice episodes... you better tell us what you want. What you really, really want.

89: Sophie Ellis-Bextor - "Make A Scene" with 'Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)' and more17 Jan 202401:10:42
"Face to face, it's Murder on The Dancefloor. Cut to the chase, just give us what we came for!" Pop fans, we hear you loud and clear. It's a new year and the dawn of the Sophiessance Age! Joel and David are jumping in that time machine with the dials set for 2009 to 2011 for Sophie Ellis-Bextor's "Make A Scene" era - her clubbiest body of work yet!

This all-killer-no-filler fourth album marked the closing of Sophie's club disco chapter in the 2000s but she's not leaving the dancefloor without a bang! 'Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)' with Freemasons, 'Can't Fight This Feeling' with Junior Caldera, and 'Not Giving Up On Love' with Armin Van Buuren - these titan dance collaborations that are still beating strong in her discography were born from this time. 

Whether you're new to Sophie's work or a card-holding member of the 'Murder' cult; we all need to be bumping these tracks and getting them back up the charts. We got classy, Sophisticated offerings like 'Starlight' and 'Bittersweet' ("It's like a £20 bottle of wine!") to grittier indie club-friendly cuts like 'Under Your Touch', and retro Calvin Harris with 'Off & On'... it's time to get on the revolution!
