‘Deeper Shade Of Blue’ was a watershed moment for Steps, marking a significant shift in their sound and thrusting them in a bold new direction.
Steps – Better Best Forgotten
‘Better Best Forgotten’ allowed Steps to consolidate their identity as a chart-topping success, while hurriedly recording a new album.
Steps – Say You’ll Be Mine
‘Say You’ll Be Mine’ is a significant – yet oft-overlooked – curio from Steps, as their first single to feature every member of the group on lead vocals.
Steps – Chain Reaction
‘Chain Reaction’ took all the core Steps elements and shoved a rocket up their arse, resulting in one of the group’s most brilliant – and bonkers – moments.
Steps – One For Sorrow
Steps released ‘One For Sorrow’ in the summer of 1998, and just like that, everything fell into place for the group.
Steps – When I Said Goodbye
‘When I Said Goodbye’ saw Steps follow the rule that every pop act must release a ballad once per album, even if no one really wanted them to.
Steps – Last Thing On My Mind
‘Last Thing On My Mind’ arguably lay the first stone for Steps to become a serious pop act – well, as serious as they were ever going to get.
Steps, Tina Cousins, Cleopatra, B*Witched and Billie – Thank ABBA For The Music
It would take something seismic to let Steps, B*Witched, Billie or Cleopatra onto the Brits stage to perform – and it came in the shape of ABBA.
Steps – It’s The Way You Make Me Feel
Steps had flirted with a Swedish pop sound in the past, but ‘It’s The Way You Make Me Feel’ (finally) gave them a chance to do it for real.
