Quite odd review, mentions their being a lot of filler but also says there is plenty of new bangers to satisfy fans.
So I'm assuming the 4 or 5 ballads are uneventful, but the upbeat sound pretty on form. Which is fine with me, though a bit of a shame if it isn't as wall-to-wall great as TOTD.
I hope they are being quite loose with the definitions of ballads and slowies, and can only imagine who would think what is really needed from a modern day Steps album is five ballad cuts.
mind you, I’d call Story of a Heart a ballad and that was EVERYTHING
Wait, there's a song written by Sia on it? Is she a Steps fan?

No, but she has a fancy for Lisa Lee-Scott and also she GOT PAID![]()
N*SYNC, SAMANTHA MUMBA ... LISA SCOTT-LEE. ALL THE GREATS.

We’re getting the album closer, Hold My Heart, on Friday.
It’s a ballad. Sigh.
Based on the random review a few weeks back it seems to me like 7 bangers and 5 slowies. Keeping in mind Under My Skin (and Fathers Eyes, based on the original) are more mid-tempo etc so hopefully only one or two complete BALLADS.
Releasing it in November, several weeks after a single is a CHOICE though
