From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

Spice Girls have released a previously unheard single to mark the 25th anniversary of their hit song “Wannabe”.

The ballad, entitled “Feed Your Love”, is the first new song the band has released since 2007.

Originally recorded as a demo, the track was written in 1995 by the group – comprising Mel B (AKA Scary Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Mel C (Sporty Spice), Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) and Geri Horner, née Halliwell (Ginger Spice) – as well as songwriters Paul Wilson and Andy Watkins.

A snippet of the song leaked online back in 2016, but this is the first time it has officially been available on any streaming platform in full.

“Feed Your Love” is included on the Wannabe 25 EP, alongside three different versions of their 1996 hit: the original single, and a remix by DJ Junior Vasquez.

All five members of Spice Girls provided vocals for the track, which was originally slated for release on their 1996 album Spice.

Wannabe 25 will be released on vinyl and cassette on 27 August.
