The Spell is a 1997 solo album by singer and songwriter Ivan Doroschuk, the leader of Men Without Hats, recording as "Ivan." The release and songwriting credits used only Doroschuk's first name.
The two singles and music videos from the album were "Open Your Eyes" and "Superbadgirls". It was the only solo album he made; a followup, Mote in God's Eye, was retitled No Hats Beyond This Point in 2003 and released under the name of Men Without Hats.
All songs written by Ivan Doroschuk, except as noted.
Writing for AllMusic, Aaron Badgley wrote that the album was a "disappointing affair", referring to "Superbadgirls" as "embarrassing." He nevertheless described the title track and "Open Your Eyes" as "highlights."
