S Club 7 have been inspired by Steps to work on new music.
The pop five-piece narrowly missed out on the UK No. 1 spot after releasing their latest LP, What The Future Holds, in November, and their success has compelled S Club to reach for the stars once again and hit the studio.
Singer Tina Barrett tells The Sun she and Jon Lee, Rachel Stevens, Jo O’Meara, Hannah Spearitt, Bradley McIntosh and Paul Cattermole have discussed writing new music and ultimately working on a comeback record.
“We definitely want to do something new together,” she says. “We’re all older now so we could do something that reflects how we are now — not such a teeny-bopper sound, something more credible.
“Looking at a band like Steps who are quite similar, they’ve done new music and they’ve done incredibly well. We’d be silly not to,” Tina muses. “Everyone really enjoyed the last reunion so this time around everyone’s more up for it.
“I’ve chatted to pretty much everyone and I think we’re all up for it. So it’s just about getting it in the diary. I’m pretty sure it will happen.”
S Club last reunited in 2015 for their Bring It All Back tour, which spawned a greatest hits collection but no new material. In the late ’90s/early ’00s, the group scored four No. 1 singles, sold more than 13 million albums worldwide and had their own hit TV show, Miami 7.
Talk of a comeback comes after Rachel Stevens stunned fans by performing two of her biggest solo hits – Sweet Dreams My LA Ex and Some Girs – during her Cabaret All Stars show at Proud Embankment in London.
