Northern Star - UK Promo Interview CD Catalogue Number: MELCCDINT1 Tracklist: 1. When and why did you decide to change your image and is it a bid to break away from the Spice Girls image in some way? 2. Did you feel you needed the freedom of a solo album to reveal your true musical self? 3. How does the music on this album reflect your individual personality? 4. There's a variety of musical styles on this album; how did you decide wich tracks to put on there, what order to put them in and what do you think holds it all togheter? 5. When you started work on this album did you have a musical game plan? 6. How would you describe the Melanie C sound? 7. Being a Spice Girl, you must have people queuing up to work with as well as a ready-made audience... 8. Which producers did you choose to work with? 9. You've been very involved with the songwriting for this album, who did you write with? 10. After the success of your big hit duet with Bryan Adams, have you done any more writing with him? 11. Why did you decide not to put "When You're Gone" on this album? 12. Why did you decide to record the album over in Los Angeles? 13. You say LA suits you - what is it about the city that you really love? 14. Was the song "Fell The Sun" inspired by your experiences there? 15. Did you do much mixing with the stars while you were in LA? 16. Is it true you went out to dinner with Madonna? 17. Is she still a great idol of yours? 18. I hear you jumped up on stage and did your Sex Pistols impersonation in LA - how did that come about? 19. Do you ever get nervous about meeting famous people or getting up on stage in front of huge crowds or has all your experience with the Spice Girls cured that? 20. Going out on stage on your own must be a very different experience from performing with the Spice Girls - does that make you feel more nervous than ever? 21. Tell us about your band? 22. What tracks on the album are going to be singles? 23. Why did you decide on "Goin' Down" as the first single? 24. The title "Goin' Down" might just be misconstrued - or was that perhaps your intention? 25. What's the video for "Goin' Down" like... 26. By releasing one of the rockier tracks first you're strengthening your reputation as a bit of rock chick, aren't you? 27. Let's talk about your next single "Northern Star" which is also the title track of the album. What's the significance of that title? 28. Lyrically it deals with the down side of fame - does the continuous hounding by the press still get you down or have you become hardened to all that? 29. Do the lyrics of these songs give us an opportunity to get to know the real Sporty? 30. Does it help you to deal with your emoticions by putting them into songs? 31. What inspires you to write, especially the love songs like "Be The One" for example? 32. "I Turn To You" could be a romantic love song but it sounds more like a song for someone who's supported you through thick and thin, is that the case? 33. How much do you think your experiences in life before you became a Spice Girl, especially your childhood, have influenced this album? 34. What about that ambitious little girl who used to stand in front of the mirror pretendind her TV remote control was a microphone - does she still exist? 35. Why did you decide to write a song about homelessness - "If That Were Me" - and do you expect some criticism for daring to deal with the subeject? 36. The line that stands out is the one that goes "I couldn't live without my phone but you don't even have a home" 37. Do you think people will be surprised at the R&B direction you've taken on "Never Be The Same Again"? 38. And you take yet another musical direction again with "Suddenly Monday"... 39. Do you have a favourite track on the album and if so what's the reason for picking it as your favourite? 40. Now you're back in the studio with the Spice Girls, what impact do you think your experience of making a solo album is having on the third Spice Girls album? 41. Is fitting in the Spice Girls work with your various solo projects quite a juggling act? 42. How far have you got with the Spice Girls album and which producers have you been working with this time? 43. How is the Spice Girls cartoon progressing and are there any other Spice projects in the pipeline? 44. With the approach of the millennium are you doing a lot of looking back or are you the sort of person who's always looking forward? 45. Looking ahead to the rest of this year and the first half of 2000, what plans do you have? 46. How are you going to celebrate the millennium? 47. How do you feel about being part of one of the biggest musical phenomena of the 20th century? 48. ID: "Goin' Down" 49. ID: "Northern Star" 50. ID: Christmas 51. ID: Millennium
