Steps' "Stomp" is the 2000 disco-pop stomper that gave the group their second UK number 1, and in this clip Chris and Chantel Nicole break down why it still hits harder than most of what the era produced. Pulled from our full track by track review of the "Buzz" album, this is the case for "Stomp" as the ultimate turn-of-the-millennium disco revival anthem.
Here's the part most people miss: "Stomp" is built on a sample of Chic's "Everybody Dance," which is why the songwriting credits include Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, and why the single sleeve was dedicated to them as a tribute. So when we call it a disco revival, we mean it literally. Steps went straight to the source. We get into the Chic connection, that unkillable weekend-party chorus, where it lands against "Tragedy" and the rest of the singles run, and whether "Buzz" gets the credit it deserves as the album where the group started reaching for a bigger sound.
For the record: "Stomp" was released in October 2000 as the lead single from "Buzz," hit number 1 in the UK and Scotland, and became Steps' second chart-topper after "Heartbeat" / "Tragedy." It was produced by Mark Topham, Karl Twigg, and Pete Waterman.
Steps fans, is "Stomp" a top-tier moment in their catalogue, or is there a better single in the run?
