Melanie C would love to reunite the Spice Girls in the studio to record a James Bond theme.

Pop stalwarts including Madonna, Tina Turner and Duran Duran have all lent their vocals to the 007 franchise – and, speaking to Billboard, Melanie teases the movies could do with a little Girl Power.

“I actually think Bond would be a great way to bring the Spice Girls out of retirement to record something new,” she says. “It’s an opportunity we’ve never had, and I think it would be pretty good.”

The singer, who recently released new album Melanie C, previously admitted the group had “discussed” new music, but were conscious that it would have to live up to hits such as Wannabe, Spice Up Your Life and Stop.

“We have such an incredible back catalogue and people love our music; we don’t want to produce anything that’s not of the standard of our other work,” she mused.

“We talk about it tentatively and we’re like, ‘You know what? We’re not gonna force the issue on that one.’ We’d rather it happen organically.”
