Melanie Chisholm is preparing to unveil her new album, "Sweat", which will be released on May 1, 2026, via Virgin Music Group. The title single with the clip appeared on October 17.

In the face of global challenges, Mel C sees creating pop and dance music as a way to experience challenging moments and share positive energy. She expresses her joy at releasing Sweet at a difficult time. To celebrate the release of the album, the singer also announced a solo concert at the O2 Academy Brixton on October 23, 2026.
