Dear oh dear. It's a long time since I've heard this all the way through (if indeed I ever have) and it doesn't appear to have improved with age. Geri's second solo single after quitting the Spice Girls picks up on the year's vogue for "Latin" music - it was in fact deposed from the top of the chart by Lou Bega - and to be fair to her she did actually live in Spain before she was famous so she can at least speak the language. This doesn't excuse the fact the the song is pretty much 'La Isla Bonita', nor the painfully thin vocals. And speaking of painfully thin, why do we have to look at everyone's ribcage in the video there?
Of course, this record did what it set out to do: it gave Geri a solo Number One single and doubtless satisfied some urge on her part to prove that she had a future outside the group. But it's a pretty joyless experience for the rest of us.
