"Spice Girl Mel C is to release her solo album This Time in the spring. The album, Mel C&amp;#039;s fourth solo effort, will make its US bow on April 8 through the singer&amp;#039;s own Red Girl records. The Spice Girl revealed she started her own label to have more control over her work. &amp;quot;When I was released from my contract with Virgin, I had options. I could attempt to sign with another major. I could go with an independent or start my own label. &amp;quot;Having experience with a major label, it was nice to be able to do the exact opposite and own the copyright to my songs. I was very fortunate with the Spice Girls; financially, I was able to set up my own label and finance my own record.&amp;quot; The singer admitted This Time is a &amp;quot;personal&amp;quot; album. &amp;quot;I think most of the songs on this album are more about relationships and personal feelings and fears and experiences.&amp;quot; Mel C was reportedly snubbed by Victoria Beckham at a recent solo show when Beckham was the only Spice Girl who failed to attend the gig.
