If you are a fan of Stock-Aitken-Waterman music of the late 80's (Rick Astley, Kylie, Bananarama, Sinitta, Mel & Kim) this is for you. Since the Stock-Aitken-Waterman split, Pete Waterman has produced Steps...an incredible act with world-wide success...I have all 3 of their albums. Honestly, though, Mike Stock was the real melody maker of Stock-Aitken-Waterman...and Scooch's songs, on the whole, are superior to Steps. The lyrics are more in the Sinitta/Sonia vein, the melodies are happier! "For Sure" is the best tune of 2000...Friends not familiar to Euro-pop compare it to Gloria Estefan's disco sound. It is a highly listenable, dance-pop masterpiece...BUY IT!

Amazing! Amazing! What other words can describe this single? This brilliant, perfectly harmonized group is going to top the pop music world by storm. This single, "For Sure," is Scooch's latest single from their album "Four Sure." --Almost all songs are written by Mike STOCK and Matt AITKEN, the legend producers in the British music industry, who have developed the stars such as Kylie Minogue and Rick Astley! This single is the part2 (CD2) to the title, and contains three remixes and a music video. Two of three remixes are by one of the hottest mixers in the world, "Motiv8". These remixes are FOR SURE to more than satisfy all pop music fans' urge for great music. I know this import single is certainly steeply-priced, but it's worth INVEST money on this wonderful single. I guarantee you'll LOVE it. In addtion, you'll definitely want to buy the album (unfortunately amazon.com currently doesn't carry this item, though...Who knows? By the time you read this review, they might already have had in stock), which is full of incredible, breezy dance tracks! Some of my favorites in the album are three other singles ("When my baby," "More than I needed to know (another incredible single)," "The best is yet to come," AND "Syncopated Rhythm," and "Third time lucky." Anyways, I highly recommend this single. GET THIS!!! BELIEVE ME! You'll NOT regret it. If you want to know more about British pop music or this type(harmonized, happy dance tunes that is...) of music, feel free to email me. I know you don't want to take chance on these expensive import CDs...

I dont know why the other reviewers seem to confuse Steps with Scooch. They are completely different. One group have talent(Scooch) the other had H(steps). Scooch have since departed from the music industry. David has a successful actor, Natalie is recording her new album with Mike Stock and Matt Aitken and the other two I have no idea. Nevertheless Four Sure is a very large slice of pop cheese that doesnt knock you out with one sniff(like those Steps albums tended to do). Just put this CD and start dancing. My picks?
When My Baby: You'll end up dancing like a cat on catnip but that doesnt matter. Just let the beat take control. The popiest track recorded in the 90s.
The Best Is Yet to Come: Abba eat your heart out
More Than I Needed To Know: Their biggest UK hit and the most dramatic. The melody will slowly penetrate your mind and you'll be singing it on the way to work without knowing it.
Syncopated Rhythm: An attempt to mimic "I will Survive" and it does it quite well. Kylie did the same thing on her Light Years album with So No Goodbye and Cher did it on Believe with Strong Enough. Scooch did it first as this was the first song the group recorded back in 1996.
One Of These Days: Great

Buy it

I am a long time fan of Steps, and no other band can compare to them. However, Scooch come pretty close. When I first listened to this album, I was immediately hooked. The songs are pure pop magic. From beginning to end a delight to listen to. A few songs stand out from the others, such as "For Sure", a song about first love, that I am sure we can all relate to. Also, "More Than I Needed To Know", and "When My Baby" are great as well, all three songs have been singles, and the remixes available are sweet. My favorite song on the album is "Music To My Heart", it kinda reminds me of Steps, "One For Sorrow", but that was the thing I enjoyed most about this album, that they reminded me of Steps, but they are still a wonderful band in spite of that. With so much similar sounding pop in North America right now(Backstreet Boys, NSync, Britney Spears), Steps and Scooch are a much needed breath of fresh air. I highly recommend this to any Steps fan or Pop fan for that matter. If you have the chance to get any of their singles do so also. They do a cover of 'The Littlest Hobo' TV show theme song called "Maybe Tomorrow", and 'The Golden Girls' theme "Thank You For Being A Friend", if anyone can remember those. Just buy it.

I think this is the 4th single from Brit pop band Scooch. Although similar in style to Steps, Scooch are far better. This is my favorite single of theirs so far, it's just a pity they're so damn expensive! (but worth the money, in my opinion).
