“Every album has a title song, a track that pushes it, and I think that’s the song. People are going to take the time out to know the rest of the song because that’s what people know Spice for.”

When asked if Black Hypocrisy was part of any rebranding, perhaps leaning more towards her calmer, more subtle side (Grace Hamilton), Spice indicated that every artiste has to step away from the ‘ray ray’ every now and then to address some serious issue. She then explained that the latter should not be taken as an indication that the artiste will now be altering the stage personalit­ies they’ve spent years establishi­ng.

“I wouldn’t say I’m rebranding because I’m not going to stand here and tell you that I’m going to stay here and start singing reggae songs because me nah stop sing me slack songs dem, to be honest. That’s what my fans love me for. It’s good that as an artiste, I’m able to attack different areas,” she said.

“People always a say Spice only sing this type of song or that type of song, but the truth is that’s what the fans love me for and that’s what keeps my fan base growing. But there will come a time again where I will see something I need to address, and I’m going to address it.”
