The album is based on her experiences over the past year and shows a maturing Geri displaying "woman power" over "girl power." "Look At Me" is bombastic pop a la "Livin La Vida Loca," with a bossa nova feel to it that would fit perfectly on an Austin Powers soundtrack. "Lift Me Up" has a Spice-ish quality and features smooth multi-layered harmonies."Walkaway," a wistful, well-orchestrated ballad, showcases Geri's fine vocal talents and is an obvious reference to her departure from the top female group on the planet. The remainder of the album employs a variety of styles, as evidenced by the Latin-inflected "Mi Chico Latino." SCHIZOPHONIC is tightly produced and features magnificent musicianship. Spice fans as well as pop connoisseurs should buy this album immediately. |
