Right Back At Ya! - The 2000s Pop Music Podcast

Amidst a puff of smoke machine across a sticky regional gay club dancefloor, Joel and David are meeting you in July 2005, rocking cropped leather gloves for the 'spiritual lead single' of the album. 'So Good' - written by friend of the podcast and brilliant pop songwriter Hannah Robinson and Pascal Gabriel - is a stomping, empowering electro-pop banger. An utterly irresistible way to welcome Rachel's new album and also a key part of Hannah's journey as a songwriter, as we discover.
Your zesty hosts chat to Hannah Robinson about 'So Good' and Barry Stone, the amazing songwriter and producer part of The Alias (previously Jewels & Stone) who did the Adam Ant-inspired single 'I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)'. Plus, legendary director Trudy Bellinger, who did the fun "Bad Girls" prison-themed music video.
Joel and David are joined by music industry legend Peter Loraine of Fascination Management, who was the Marketing Director at Polydor at time, looking after Rachel alongside Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment (now XIX Management).
As far as content goes - this episode is jam packed with value like the single releases Rachel was giving us in this time. Joel and David take you through her unforgettable live performances in this era including G-A-Y and T4 On The Beach, plus the b-side ('Never Go Back') and interactive PC games!

Top up the champagne and don a pair of zip-up boots, dallyn! We are celebrating 21 years of one of the greatest pop albums of the 2000s: Rachel Stevens' "Come And Get It". Featured on The Guardian's "1000 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die" list, this brilliant electro-pop opus has stood the test of time and gained a fervent cult following, taking former-S Club star Rachel into bona fide pop star territory.
Joel and David are coming at you with a zesty deep dive and oral history on the making of one of British pop's most underrated classics of the 2000s. This episode features interviews with hit songwriters and producers Richard X, Hannah Robinson and NERVO - plus an exclusive insight into the project from music industry legend Peter Loraine of Fascination Management, who was the Marketing Director at Polydor at the time, looking after Rachel alongside Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment (now XIX Management).
In Part One, we land in July 2004 for the career-defining hit single 'Some Girls', speaking to the creators Richard X and Hannah Robinson. We reminisce on the infamous clash with Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and also bring you exclusive audio from Rachel's studio session.
We get into the sassy lead single of the album 'Negotiate With Love' with GRAMMY-winning songwriter / producer NERVO and connect with hitmaker Kara DioGuardi on the b-side 'Queen'. You'll also hear from music video directors Paul Weiland ('Some Girls' and one of the co-founders of Comic Relief) and Harvey B Brown (who co-directed 'Negotiate With Love').
Get ready for a real vibrant snapshot of the 2000s British pop star-making machine through the lens of this unforgettable album by the one and only Rachel Stevens.

Ahead of Melanie C's upcoming "Sweat World Tour" coming to the UK and Europe, Joel and David go all the way back to 1999 to revisit Sporty's very first solo tour. You may hear a familiar voice making a cameo somewhere in the episode!
"From Liverpool to Leicester Square" was a tour of intimate venues in 1999 to promote Melanie's debut solo album, the critically-lauded "Northern Star". This was a fresh start for Melanie C and a chance to establish herself for the first time outside of Spice Girls by gigging her own material in smaller venues from her hometown Liverpool to the US, Canada, Japan, Australia and several European countries before wrapping it in London's Astoria. We're treated to singles like 'Northern Star', 'Goin Down' and 'If That Were Me', and deep cuts and b-sides on this run, well ahead of the glorious mainstream success of the No.1 singles to come from this album: 'Never Be The Same Again' and 'I Turn To You'.

Jump on in, pop fans, and get ready to fly with us on Part Two of our "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster" celebrations. The hoverbike engines are revving and we're picking up our Summer of Spice in July 2001 at Party in The Park with Geri around the release of her dead rockeh single 'Scream If You Wanna Go Faster'. We get into the music video and comparisons to Posh's 'Not Such An Innocent Girl' visuals, and all the zesty b-sides.
Joel and David also revisit Geri's super camp, first-ever headline concert in Oman. Picture this: Steps, the British troops out in the desert, Union Jack bikinis, Cabaret-version of 'Wannabe'. We wrap 2001 with 'Calling', the George Michael-approved ballad with a stunning artistic music video, and all the stellar TV promo.
For the history books, Joel recaps all the fabulous Geri pop culture moments post-album - from a book launch to the infamous "Sex & The City" cameo, to serenading Harrison Ford and George Lucas. There's never a dull moment in Geriwood!
