Mel C, the Sporty Spice Girl, is to release her new album in April in America. It is the fourth album of the singer’s and is called ‘This Time’ which she describes as ‘Modern Pop’.

This Time is released under her own record label ‘Red Girl Label’ and she said “I was fortunate with The Spice Girls financially, I was able to set up my own label and finance my own record.”

Mel C parted from Virgin Records in 2003 and went onto say “Having experience with a major label, it was nice to be able to do the exact opposite and own the copyright to my songs.”

The new album deals with some serious themes said Mel, such as being the child of divorced parents, “I think most of the songs on this album are more about relationships and personal feelings and fears and experiences”.
