    This is so exciting. I feel as though Mel C’s solo stuff is so underrated. She has so many songs that weren’t hits that should have been

    I'm glad that Mel still active and releasing music (and consistently good). She truly deserves to be considered a legend.

    Some of the B-Sides during this era were better than the songs that made it to the album, namely "I Love Without Trying" (co-written with Rick Nowels) and "Living Without You" (co-written with Richard "Biff" Stannard). Thank you for this documentary! xx

    Reason's a great album but for me the Sea is Melanie's best. When you look at Melanie's solo work there is no doubt she produced a great body of work. Some of my favourite Melanie songs are "your mistake" "enemy" " next best superstar" "think about it" "home" "burn" "yeh yeh yeh" "if that were me" "let there be love" and many more. I love Melanie's pop rock vibe!

      I think her point of view is that she's trying to in her mind that the next opening will be better than this one. Don't think it's because she actually believes that it's because she wants to think that to up herself each time

    Melanie has such a great mind, it's a pleasure to listen to her speak, it's so soothing. She was in such good place in the Reason era, she was her true self, had done a lot of healing. She's always been a true artist, not just entertainer. Her solo carrer has been so complex and impressive 🙏🏻❤️

    I am loving these videos that go in depth to solo careers and album eras that maybe people didn’t get the chance to hear. Some of these particularly Rachel Stevens “Come and Get It” and this album are examples of underrated pop gems that deserve to be talked about and re-examined to a future audience who are missing out. Great job as always!!!

    First off, congrats on your hard work as usual. The quality of this is unbelievable, you truly have put lots of work into this docu (and all of the others as well !). Then , even though I have a soft spot for this , I remember back in the day feeling quite puzzled when listening to the record. It was such a departure from NS… I guess even hardcore fans , as myself, were expecting something quite … different. Perhaps more upbeat , slightly “poppier”, and the Soul Boy , Loose Myself In You kind of knocked many of us up. She was done dirty by Virgin (they all did, after all), but I wonder how they let her get away with change of sound they’d never support . And it was clear from the beginning. Coming out of depression is tough, and maybe a lot of that process went through the creation of this album. She’d later pursue that rocky vibe with variable levels of success . I guess people , even fans , expected something quite different from her. Anyways, she’s an artist and deserves to be able to create anything she likes. I am all up for it , but you cannot expect to recreate the success of something like I turn to you with Melt. Anyways , This Time was even more confusing . I’m glad she’s going back to pop and dance now.

    It's still a mystery to me how this album didn't succeed and she was eventually dropped by her label... To me, this was a very good album after Northern Star ... the songs are all very good, really good! I like this album much more her recent albums that I feel are so polished and worked and reworked.... It ahs all, the rock songs, the pop, soulful songs, very intimate ones! To me, REASON, is a solid follow up to Northern Star ...Beautiful Intention was good too... however all that's after beautiful intention, to me, is 50/50

    The album has grown on me over the years, but unfortunately I can't forget about the existence of Soul boy.😅
    My favorite songs are Home, Melt, Yeh yeh yeh, Let's love and Here it comes again.
    I feel that some of the b-sides, if not all, should have been on the album instead of some album tracks. I mean, seriously, Love to you, Like that (which sounds like The Strokes song), Living without you.. Brilliant songs. Thank you for the video.
    By the way, Here it comes again didn't chart at number 2 in Belgium, it's a bubbling under chart 😢
