After the massive success of "Step One" and "Steptacular", Steps took a bold leap forward - working with new writers and producers, maturing their sound, and stepping (pun intended) out of their comfort zone for the first time. The result is an album that feels like a group in transition - more sophisticated, more daring, and more grown-up than anything they'd done before.
Going track by track through the entire album - breaking down the songwriting, the vocals, the production, and the stories behind every song. And because this is Steps, we don't stop there. Also covered: the music videos, the live performances, and yes - the dance routines.
Is Buzz the moment Steps truly grew up? Are these singles the strongest run of any UK pop act in 2000? Does the album hold up over 20 years later?
