Probably old news but on morning tv show RI:SE in UK there was a short item on Mel B (Scary Spice) relaunching her career with the help of Prince.

It mentioned previously recorded songs...surely these are old, 1999 or thereabouts!

No news on release date etc.

Mel B's Future Music Plans (24th June 2002) Worldpop

Mel B is enlisting such big names as Prince to re-launch her singing career in the US.

To help Mel's American plight, she plans to work with such respected luminaries as Ja Rule and Jay Z. First up however on Mel's list, is Prince.

'I'm gonna start it off in America because I've had lots of offers and proposals from people who wanna work me with me out there,' revealed Mel to New Nation. 'One of the people I can confirm I will be working with, which I am really excited about, is Prince.'

The former Spice Girl was dropped from label Virgin after the poor performance of her debut solo album Hot.

Mel has since focussed on her TV career, the singer hosted the talent show This Is My Moment, and has made guest appearances as presenter on Top Of The Pops and in the West End play The Vagina Monologues.

Much like her erstwhile colleague Victoria Beckham, Mel maintains that she willingly left Virgin Records, claiming, 'I don't think I had the right frame of mind and focus for my direction.'

We know how often and how fast Prince changes his mind. Probably she'll find out, too.

All I want to say is that Prince is obviously a supporter of Euthanasia...on his career.

Prince has now become a wasted talent. We all know that Prince is enormously talented and is an asset to the industry. But why is Prince releasing self indulgent albums, some only on the net therefore only reaching a limited number. And now working with pathetic bitches like Mel B?

Its time that Prince shows the world that he is a force to be reckoned with, by releasing a good quality Commercial Pop/Rock album that will set his career flying again.

Mel B’s Prince To The Rescue

In an attempt to re-launch her music career, Mel B aka Scary Spice is set to team up with the very colourful singer/songwriter Prince. The former Spice Girl split from her label Virgin last year due to poor performance of her debut solo album. According to worldpop.com, Mel B is aiming to break into the tough American market with the help of not only Prince, but rappers Jay-Z and Ja Rule. Mel B is quoted as saying: “My music aim is to go to America.” The singer goes on to say: “One of the people I can confirm I will be working with which I am really excited about, is Prince.” In regards to her split with her label, Mel B has said that her decision to split from her label was due to her own lack of focus. “I don’t think I had the right frame of mind and focus for my direction,” she said.

Don't do it Prince! Not only is she talent-less, she's a pain in the arse.

Appolonnia, Mayte and Carmen Electra were talentless, but Prince made them sound pretty damn good.

I wonder if she'll do that "wubba wubba wubba" thing she used to do on Club MTV...
