Hitting the dancefloor, Melanie C returns to her early pre-Spice club days, embracing house, disco, and everything in between for one of the most cohesive, fun, and authentic releases in her catalog. Described by the artist as the union of all her sides – the athlete, the DJ, the popstar – Sweat is an album designed to make listeners do just that, which she explicitly promises on the muscular, gym-ready title track. As always, these songs excel primarily on the strength of Chisholm's instantly recognizable and ageless instrument, elevating these otherwise straightforward club bangers into her own anthems of joy, optimism, and healing with vocals that show no sign of age or wear. Hitting impossible highs, "Drum Machine" pushes exuberant euphoria like Alison Goldfrapp colliding with Kylie Minogue. In that Kylie vein, "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?" throbs through sparkling atmospherics as Chisholm does some soul searching on the dancefloor, while "Pressure" cranks that persistent pulse to the limit on an arms-to-the-sky, festival-sized standout.
