Geri has set the bar high.

Geri is the first to go solo and she really outdone herself. Listening to this album you will become aware that Geri will never bore you unlike Posh and dreadful scary. The reason why I gave this four stars is because of tracks 7 and 8. Those tracks are too bland for Geri,but the rest of the album is a winner.

Lift Her Up!

When Geri left Spice Girls I guessed that we hear soon about Geri something...a solo album was one choice...and now I have it in my hands. The single tracks are good choices..."Look at Me", "Mi Chico Latino", "Bag It Up", and "Lift Me Up" which is a peaceful ballad. Geri was the best vocalist in Spice Girls because he can use her voice in various ways. I really like the song "Goodnight Kiss". It is nice and peaceful and Geri sings beauitifully. Geri's solo album is the best among Spice Girls solo albums. Geri can also sing in a very sexy way..."Let Me Love" for example. "You're in a Bubble" is a funny track...it is great to see this or hear...this kind of side in Geri.

Stars: Mi Chico Latino, Look at Me, Lift Me Up, Bag It Up

The Death of Ginger...

Of course could Geri Halliwell ever really kill 'Ginger'? Naw but for this CD she *reallly* tried (even having her funeral in the 'Look at me' video) yet later gave up and by 2004 has fully reverted back to her Spice sounding days. But for now let's go back to 1999.

Schizophonic overall has a very 'grown up yet not' pop vibe to it which is truly to this CD and this CD only. Perhaps its all in the name Schizo: split Phonic: listening/music.



Schizophonic kicks off with 'Look at me' her very first single so aptly titled. Geri follows this with some 'deeper then the Spice Girls could ever go' tracks: 'Lift me up' a sweet ballad and 'Walkaway' which is about her leaving the group. Yet Geri doesn't want you to forget what makes her great: her sassy kitch pop. Thus 'Mi Chico Latino' a latin flavored quick paced track and 'Bag it up' a sassy jazz inspired pop anthem appear.



From here Geri decides to try something inspired and new again. 'Sometime' is a angel vs devil type of track thats honestly unique. The verses are sweet and church sounding while the bridge is a devil trying to get out sound, while the chorus is a mix. Honestly one of the better pop tracks of ALL TIME! Geri follows this up with 'Let me love you' a hindi inspired innocent and sweet love song. Again its innovational and really a pop masterpiece!



For the final tracks Geri almost reviews what we all just heard: good ol pop, innovational pop, and of course the inspiring pop. 'Someone's watching over me' is a sweet ballad dedicated to her deceased father and the final track 'You're in a bubble' is again in your face innovational kitsch pop...it's also rumored to be inspired by an ex bandmate though that's never been proven.



Overall 'Schizophonic' was a brilliant start out in to the solo pop world...not to mention before it's time in some places.
