It does look like he is choosing fan favourites tbf... the fact that they paid dust to Paradise Lost in live shows all the way up until Party tour (and they have continued to) shows they don't really consider it a missed opportunity... Same for Love u more.

 

Happy has been mentioned by Lisa as a potential single before so I am guessing that was intended to be released from the album before it got the re-release treatment. I feel like both Happy and No more tears would have been good singles and are far better than dancing with a broken heart... but the re-release definitely helped push that album over gold. I still think WTFH Part 2 should have been a re-release tbh would have given them another Gold album although I guess Part 1 will get there eventually.

He’s just saying the fan favourites though isn’t he? They’re not *his* choices as such

He captioned it "Steps songs I think should have been singles"? :thinking:

I agree Spiceboy, I think Happy and No More Tears (and even I Will Love Again) would’ve been better than Dancing With A Broken Heart. I guess something had to come from the re-release though. Even if none of the new songs were strong enough to be singles in my view.

September Sun was (and is) better than Dancing With a Broken Heart

 

 

September Sun is my favourite of the re-released tracks. :wub:

I’d agree with that. I think Dancing With A Broken Heart is one of the worst of the new songs. I even think Fool For You is better, actually maybe even Beautiful Battlefield. I’ve never been a fan of Dancing With A Broken Heart though, even the Delta Goodrem version.

They should have re-released with it.

I’m coming around on this idea now. At the time I wanted I Will Love Again, even though it was part of the original album.

Love u more / Back to you would have been a great double a-side after BBF and would easily have got them another top 5 I reckon.

 

Paradise lost is a tricky one as part of me thinks it should have been a double a-side to Here and Now but then part of me thinks songs with less Claire were needed in order to give others a chance to shine too (poor Lee). I'm not sure whether they had the power for another top 5 from that album with Paradise lost as a stand alone single after the H&N/YBS. It could have been a double a-side to Chain reaction but I guess they weren't exactly screaming out for hits to fill Gold lol.

Has anyone seen the teasers that Ultimate Steps are posting…

 

Or as I like to call them, subtle reminders that they think they are superior because they have insider knowledge *oops*

I didn't particularly like any of the re-release tracks from Tears, I thought they kind of tainted what was a perfectly good original album (although obviously I get why the re-release exists)

No, what is Ultimate Steps!? I just think of the album lol :lol: Also what are the teasers?

  • 2 weeks later...

Claire said during her Instagram Q&A that Steps are on a "well deserved break" but "will tour again".

 

Can't remember if this was already mentioned, but Lee recently said that Steps are having a break during 2023 and will be discussing future plans in 2024.

Thanks for sharing. I think that was expected wasn’t it? Great to have it confirmed though.

 

Hopefully a tour means a new album too. Spend first half of 2024 recording it release it Sep/Oct 2024 or early 2025.

We BETTER get a new album, they can't deliver 4 great albums all charting top 2 and then not do another one. They have to try for a 2030 #1 anyway :lol:

Didn’t they do that with their last run?
