Spice celebrates her newly acquired freedom on her brand new album ‘Emancipated.’

The LP, which follows 2021’s ‘Ten,’ serves as the first independent offering from the reigning Queen of Dancehall.

Home to new bops such as ‘Clap Clap’ and the highly viral ‘Tape Measure,’ the project re-affirms the GRAMMY-nominated chanteuse as one of music’s most creative and exciting talents.

Speaking on ‘Emancipated,’ Spice said:

“It means absolutely everything to me to be at this place. To now be free and to be emancipated. It’s the most powerful thing any artist could have in their entire career, to be free or independent or to be able to put out what you know. This is me. This is what’s coming from me. This is my art. This is my creativity. This is who I am.”

During the raunchy sit-down, Meg told Miami “I like what I like. I like you” – setting off an interview-long flirt-a-thon.

Indeed, weaved between the talk about the LP and their respective career journeys, the pair playfully teased being “girlfriends” and debated who would be “on top” during their encounter.

Elsewhere, they waxed honest about thinking they had tension in the past, sex, and a whole lot more.
