"Steptro" is the first track on "Step one", but it's only a 57 second intro thingy that I usuallly skip. Then the fun starts with "Last thing on my mind", a true pop fest that is actuallly a cover; Bananarama took it to no. 71 (eek) in 1992! "5, 6, 7, 8", undoubtedly the cheesiest & funniest Steps song ever, is up next, providing you with the most fun you'll ever have listening to a line dancing track! It's followed by the beautiful "One for sorrow", which features Claire on lead vocals, & the gang's first UK no. 1 "Heartbeat", always a firm favourite with Steps fans everywhere. "This heart will love again" is a heartfelt mid-tempo number with a spine-tingling chorus, then "Experienced" alllows H to take the lead for the first time. This is also a mid-tempo track & is probably my least fave song on this alb; the two verses are quite short & there is no middle-eight or third verse, which makes it sound as if this song was rushed. But hey, it's worth listening to just to be able to swoon over Mr Watkins' voice! "Too weak to resist" is also belted out superbly by H, before it's time to hand the microphone back to the girls for the happy pop choon "Better best forgotten". "Back to you" is another cheese extravaganza, but it's so bouncy & catchy that you'll be humming it on your way to school/work/almost any other place for ages! Next the fab five give us some uptempo dance with "Love u more", featuring Claire & Faye on lead vocals, & last up is the typical balllad "Stay with me", giving Faye & Lisa a chance to show off their voices!
First albums are usuallly quite hard to produce, but Steps have given us a debut to remember here... "Step one" is a classic album with some of the cheesiest & best pop choons you'll ever find! Enjoy.
