• Victoria Beckham - A Misunderstood Solo Debut?

  With renewed attention on Victoria Beckham thanks to the hit Netflix documentary, it’s the perfect time to revisit her 2001 self-titled debut album. In this episode, Chris and Chantel Nicole dive into the music, image, and legacy of Posh Spice’s solo era - one that was largely dismissed at the time. Was "Victoria Beckham" an overlooked gem? A misunderstood moment? Or simply not the pop moment it was supposed to be? We break down the production, vocals, lyrics, and the industry context that may have stacked the odds against her. From "Not Such an Innocent Girl" to "Midnight Fantasy", we’re revisiting the album that had ambition, attitude, and a whole lot of fashion...Join us on Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/CCTVPOPSFollow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/cctvpops0:00 - Intro1:49 - "Victoria Beckham" Album Info3:56 - "Not Such An Innocent Girl"10:50 - "A Mind Of Its Own"17:42 - "That Kind Of Girl"21:31 - "Like That"25:52 - "Girlfriend"29:40 - "Midnight Fantasy"34:18 - "I.O.U"40:19 - "No Trix, No Games"43:53 - "I Wish"49:16 - "Watcha Talkin' Bout"54:15 - "Unconditional Love"57:27 - "Every Part Of Me"1:00:40 - Cut or Keep1:01:57 - Overall Thoughts & Final RatingReferences:“Not Such An Innocent Girl” MV https://youtu.be/Dl15xG3cHd4?si=m58Ugsjv5i8dEvUJ“Not Such An Innocent Girl” Live (Both Versions) https://youtu.be/eTNwRB6_XDc?si=mezkQw0ES3X-BbQP“Not Such An Innocent Girl” Live on CD:UK (Evil Version) https://youtu.be/ijAJaityAcU?si=ZYypY_Q2ykpL6kTn “A Mind Of Its Own” MV https://youtu.be/zGZj6lWlzu8?si=QaXUVu5-J4B2X5Q7 “A Mind Of Its Own” Live at Des O’Connor https://youtu.be/terOqvMEzeQ?si=ZIwhaE4KXfWVxsCF“Midnight Fantasy” Live at G-A-Y https://youtu.be/KUspyhrXvds?si=jIXKezTwE-e2ua25“I.O.U” Live at Parkinson https://youtu.be/Tvf04-F47d8?si=6BaG59UdHEqa3nSO “I Wish” feat.
