Geraldine Estelle Halliwell-Horner is an English singer, songwriter, television personality, author, and actress. She was a member of the pop group the Spice Girls, in which she was nicknamed Ginger Spice. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, the Spice Girls are the best-selling female group of all time. Their slogan "girl power" was most closely associated with Halliwell and her Union Jack dress from the 1997 Brit Awards also became an enduring symbol. Halliwell left the Spice Girls in 1998, citing exhaustion and creative differences, but rejoined when they reunited in 2007.
"It's Raining Men" is a song by the American musical duo the Weather Girls from their third studio album, Success (1983).

Paul Jabara wrote the song in collaboration with Paul Shaffer, and produced the song in collaboration with Bob Esty.

Its lyrics describe an excitement and enjoyment of many different types of men.
Schizophonic is the debut studio album by British pop singer Geri Halliwell. The album was released after her split from popular girl group the Spice Girls.

This was the first solo album released by a Spice Girl.
Scream If You Wanna Go Faster is the second studio album by British singer Geri Halliwell, released on 14 May 2001 by EMI Records.
