It took us nearly 20 years, but we’ve finally arrived! In this episode, Chris and Chantel Nicole listen to Rachel Stevens’ cult classic album Come and Get It for the very first time - and we’re going track by track through the electro-pop goodness. From icy-cool bangers to underrated deep cuts, we’re breaking down the production, vocals, lyrics, and legacy of one of British pop’s most beloved hidden gems. Was this truly one of the greatest pop albums of the 2000s? Yes. Yes it was.
