Queen of Dancehall Spice is officially back in full effect after returning to the stage in the Cayman Islands on March 24, reports Dancehallmag.com.
“This was her first time in six months after suffering several medical mishaps that resulted in four surgical procedures and weight loss,” said the online publication said on March 25.
“Patrons who turned out at the ‘Start Di Fun Music Festival’ couldn’t contain their excitement as they awaited the ‘Send It Up’ singer on stage,” it added.
Dancehall mag said chants of “we want Spice” echoed across the venue, “and, as she finally made her way up, the chants turned into screams as everyone had their phones out to capture the moment.”
“Clad in thigh-high blue boots, a body suit of the same color, and a short wig of a lighter shade of blue, the 40-year-old delivered like she had never left,” it said. “’Romantic Mood’ was the starting number that set the tone for the high-energy set.”
“This is my first time on stage for the past six months,” Dancehallmag reported Spice as saying. “I don’t know how you feeling, but I’m gonna show you how I’m feeling.”
Dancehallmag said by the time she touched “So Me Like It”, “Spice benched the heels so that she could comfortably gallivant for her fans.”
There was the usual interactive segment during which Spice invited eager supporters on stage to show off their best moves to her raunchy hits, Dancehallmag said.
It said the night’s selection was “Tik Tak”, adding that “the brave fans did their best to adhere to the beat leaving everyone entertained by their efforts.”
Dancehallmag said the “Tape Measure” singer had also been receiving lots of love all day from her fans for the commendable performance.
It said Spice released her “very own Gospel Reggae song” on Friday, titled” Spice Marley”, dedicated to her late father and a follow-up to “God A Bless Me”, which was released a week before.
She’s expected to release a third song this month titled, “Queen of the Dancehall,” Dancehallmag said.
It said Spice also has other upcoming performances in New York, Jamaica and Bermuda.
