'You Make Me Whole' is pretty good. Generic but it is rather fun. It almost gives me Eurovision vibes in the chorus.

 

Not a patch on the 'Scared of the Dark' but it is definitely 2/2 so far.

They should announce the second single soon and have it added to new release schedules so people will be aware something is been released.

I just listened to 'You Make Me Whole', and I'm shocked to find it's a cover of this 2016 song by Anna Naklab (who you might remember from the 2014 hit 'Wicked Games' by Parra For Cuva):

 

 

I'm pretty fond of the original but like, it charted nowhere, I can't believe someone came across it and thought to cover it!

This is very much them trying to sound modern/current (well, sort of like 2013/2014esque) and not actually making a bad job of it!

I much prefer you make me whole to SOTD

Scared of the dark is brill, a total win. However the album clips and You make me whole sound terrible, like really naff. Sounds very 2000 Eurovision.

We should start hearing the line up of promotion soon. If they really go for it on promotion the album should get off to a strong sales start.

My problem with You Make Me Whole is that it sounds like they've received an instrumental and tried to put a vocal melody on top of it and not doing a great job of making it match the instrumental. I haven't checked out the original so maybe it's a problem the original has too.

'Scared of the Dark' is a 12/10 life-defining anthem, 'You Make Me Whole' is a 9.5/10 bop. The album is shaping up well so far, I can't wait to hear the rest of it! 💃

Yeah, 'You Make Me Whole' really feels clumsily produced for me! Disappointed in it. I'm not the biggest fan of Steps anyway (although I remember playing Steptacular a lot as a kid), but SOTD really got my hopes pretty high and I ended up being underwhelmed by this. Still curious to hear the full album, but that's all it is now, just curiosity for me.

 

I bought their "Ultimate Collection" today from HMV, was only £2.99, and 'It's The Way You Make Me Feel' is seriously pop ballad GOLD! 'Here & Now' and 'Say You'll Be Mine' are also other faves. But a lot of the production on the others I had no idea they were as badly "mixed" as they were. 'Heartbeat' was a fave of mine, but I don't remember the voices being as all over the place as they are on here! Some verses seemed slightly quieter/tinnier than others and the chorus just felt like it was recorded at a different time, to me! :lol:

We have been playing their Greatest Hits a few times in HMV where I work too and It's The Way You Make Me Feel easily stands out as their best for me! :heart: Stomp is one of the others to have aged the best as well.

QUICK. Before it's gone:

 

Even in LQ this album sounds FAB. Happy sounds HUGE.

 

LARA FABIAN COVER YASSSSSSSSSS.

Happy sounds like an absolute Eurovision reject.

I was secretly hoping Firefly was an A*Teens cover :(

I Will Love Again sounds like it could be great.

Previews of all the songs are also available on their official instagram page

It's all about Scared of the Dark, Story of a Heart and I Will Love Again for me at the moment. Claire's vocal on the latter's chorus is astonishingly good, and the chorus of Story...is easily the closest they've ever been to just becoming ABBA.
