Steps - What The Future Holds Pt. 2

I'm loving the brand new Steps album "What The Future Holds Pt. 2". It's so catchy. It was originally intended to be just an expanded edition of their 2020 album, but they recorded so many good songs that it became a whole new studio album. Lucky us!

Included are the amazing singles "Take Me For A Ride" and Five Star cover "The Slightest Touch". They've also included the Michelle Visage duet version of "Heartbreak In This City", although I personally prefer the original album version.

Highly recommended!

Five Star - Luxury - The Definitive Anthology 1984-1991

Look what arrived the other day, the beautiful box set "Luxury - The Definitive Anthology 1984-1991" by British pop group Five Star. I'm a huge fan of their music so I'm very happy to get their albums "Luxury Of Life" (1985), "Silk & Steel" (1986), "Between The Lines" (1987), "Rock The World" (1988), "Five Star" (1990) and "Shine" (1991) remastered to perfection, plus loads of rare 7" and 12" mixes and finally the DVD with music videos.

I bought the Amazon exclusive edition which comes with a signed photo by fabulous lead singer Denise Pearson. There are still copies available if you're interested. You can also order the standard edition from Amazon UK. This set is a most for fans of R&B-pop of the eighties and early nineties.

Sheena Easton, Five Star & Aretha Franklin reissues

I received some new CD's the other day. The brand new reissues of Sheena Easton's four studio albums "You Could Have Been With Me/Madness Money And Music" and "A Private Heaven/Do You", both packed with bonus tracks like B-sides and remixes. I really recommend them!

I also received "The Remix Anthology - 1984-1991" compilation by the amazing Five Star, including two discs filled with digitally remastered remixes and rarities. And finally, the reprint of Aretha Franklin's 1985 album "Who's Zoomin' Who?", also remastered with a bonus disc with remixes.
