Steps’ sixth album, ‘What The Future Holds’, came packed with hits aplenty in 2020 – and the group’s set to hit the airwaves for an exclusive acoustic set later this week.

On Friday (Feb 12), the five-piece will stop by BBC Radio 2 for the world exclusive first performance of their latest single, To The Beat of My Heart.

They’re also set to put a brand new twist on one of the group’s classic hits – although the song set to get a make-over is being kept under wraps.

Tune into the ‘Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ on Friday morning here.

Co-written by MNEK and The Saturdays’ Mollie King, To The Beat of My Heart is a massive dance track and an instant highlight from the album, which is preceded by singles What The Future Holds and Something In Your Eyes.

In our review of the album, Retro Pop called ‘What The Future Holds‘ “a cohesive collection that plays to each of the members’ strengths and showcases the versatility of Steps as Britain’s premier pop group… undoubtedly their most confident, polished release yet.”

‘What The Future Holds’ is available on CD, pink vinyl, picture disc vinyl, and individual member cassettes.

In an exclusive interview with Retro Pop, classic Steps collaborators Topham and Twigg revealed they’ve reunited and pitched a number of tracks to the group for their forthcoming seventh album.

“Myself and Mark have penned three or four songs… Which is our first co-pen for about 10 years!” shared Karl Twigg

“We’ve written a new track, which we penned about three months ago now, and it is f**king amazing. It’s probably one of the best songs we’ve ever written.

“In fact, there’s about three that we’ve penned that are just stone-cold monster hits.”

Despite the pair’s celebrated history with the group, Karl insists they’ve “avoided the whole nostalgia thing” on the new tracks, but described the songs as “bangers”.
