Steps are back with their new album, ‘What The Future Holds Pt. 2’

The group returned in November with their sixth LP, ‘What The Future Holds’, and later this year they’re set to release a second part to the project. 

Featuring ten all-new tracks plus current single Heartbreak in this City featuring Michelle Visage, the album also includes acoustic takes of previous singles and a bunch of remixes. 

Of the album release, Lisa Scott-Lee says: “We couldn’t have been more thrilled about the reaction to our ‘What The Future Holds’ album last November, and the ongoing love from fans for all our single and video releases since”

Faye Tozer adds: “While lockdown has been really tough, we were fortunate enough to use the time to record a load of brand-new songs for you all! 

“What originally started as a deluxe version of the album has now become a full new record.”

“We see ‘What The Future Holds Pt. 2’ as the perfect companion piece to the original album,” explains Claire Richards. “The new record is classic Steps but also explores some brand-new sounds”. 

Teasing tracks from the set, singer Ian ‘H’ Watkins shares: “Some of our favourites include Take Me For A Ride which has a proper 80s vibe (written by Mark Topham and Karl Twigg, who co-wrote One For Sorrow, Stomp and Deeper Shade Of Blue and is their first joint song in nearly two decades) and A Hundred Years of Winter which is an icy electronic anthem written by our friend, the brilliant songwriter Darren Hayes from Savage Garden.” 

“Lee Latchford-Evans continues, “There’s also Living In A Lie which reunites us with Thomas G:Son who wrote Something In Your Eyes which was a huge fan favourite on Part 1 of the album, and brings classic Steps pop drama and key changes. 

“Another of my favourites is Trouble & Love which was written by Fiona Bevan and Carl Ryden who were behind our 2017 comeback single Scared of the Dark.”

‘What The Future Holds Pt. 2’ is due for release September 10 and available to pre-order on CD, LP and Cassette.
