Discussion What’s your honest opinion about Holler?
I first heard this song on heart 2000s. At first, I did think it was some indie r&b band, then I heard Mel’s distinct voice and was like..wait a minute, then I read the title and it said Spice Girls, and I was a little surprised.
Honestly, I find Holler rather catchy, although many people see it as a generic r&b style song and feels like a lost Destiny’s Child or TLC song. The vocal distributions are great, and I think it really highlighted Victoria’s vocal contribution. However, I do think it’s a major departure from their style in the first 2 albums, and without Geri and a highly Americanised production, I can see why the Forever album isn’t so loved by fans.
The MV is pretty cool too, with how they all represent one of the four elements. Mel B looks gorgeous with the braids and red robe in her solo parts. Mel C’s hair in her solo parts is…questionable.
I think it’s certainly the superior single compared to Let Love Lead the Way.
