5.0 out of 5 stars Step into it!, March 9, 2000

I heard about this group from a Brit friend of mine and during a visit to London last week, bought this CD. What fun stuff! After the first liten, I thought "hmmm, a little cheesy", but then I listened again and found the groove. This is truly good clean dancey kind of pop. The uptempo numbers are wonderfully uplifting and the slower love songs are truly good.

Written and produced mostly by 2/3 of the old Stock/Aitken/Waterman production team (remember Kylie, Rick Astley and Dead or Alive?) now down to just Stock and Waterman, along with various others, this is definitely British dance pop.

Steps is MASSIVE in the UK and recently opened for Britney on her US tour. What you may not know is that every single released by this group has "steps" that one does on the dance floor with instructions included in every single in the UK. To be at a club in London and EVERYONE is doing the "steps" during the choruses was truly a sight to see. While the two gentlemen in the group do take a lead vocal here and there (at least on the UK release I have, which has more songs on it then the US release), the ladies in this group CAN ACTUALLY SING, and very well I might add. Powerful voices in front of some pretty bubbly pop.

Again, as I've said in my other reviews here on Amazon, what is it about European pop with the different/amazingly catchy type of melodies and chord progressions? These great melodies and progressions can be found here as well. "Better Best Forgotten", "Last Thing on My Mind", "One for Sorrow", "5,6,7,8" and "Heartbeat" are THE standout tracks, but there isn't a bad tune on the whole disk. Make no mistake, this is PURE POP music, and you can be certain that I (I'm 38 years old) will be steppin' to this group. Just wait until their second album (Steptacular....yes STEPtacular, not a typo) is released here in the US, in which there is definite growth shown. But this is STEP ONE on what should be a pretty good career.......GET THIS CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dance, Sing and Cry with Steps, April 4, 2000

By 

Jose Angel (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews

If you like Britney, Christina, NSync, or the BSBs, you're going to love Steps. This English Quintent has conquered the world and are on the verge of doing the same in the United States. I first noticed Steps while visiting Singapore, and I fell in love with their music immediately. The girls (Claire, Faye, and Lisa) are gorgeous and extremely talented. The two guys (Lee and H) complement the girls very nicely. I foresee Steps outselling the Spice Girls in America, but in contrast to the Spice Girls, Steps will be around for a very long time. Buy "Step One", then order "Steptacular" (the British version) and "Step One" (the Japanese version) from Amazon. With these three CDs you will get about 30 songs that will make you dance, sing, and cry all at once. To sum it up, Steps is all about Dance music with very deep lyrics. If you have a romantic heart and a wild side, Step One is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for teenagres, February 27, 2000

This album is awesome. I saw Steps on the Disney channel and right away went out and bought it. It is great dance music. Once you've listened to it you will want to go out and buy it also. It's not just for teenagers. I'm 23 and I love this group.
