Faye Tozer – Secret Room
In a post-steps world you’d be expecting 5 solo recording deals with varying degrees of success.
In a strange turn of events that is not the case.
Faye Tozer spen her pre-steps life singing cabaret, so we already knew that this girl could hold a note. Her contribution to steps albums and tours proved she had the song-writing and production skills to carve out a solo career.

Just stick to looking hot…
You’d be forgiven for thinking that Lee Latchford Evans was just there to make up the numbers and give the teenage girls (and gay guys) someone to lust after.
The casual fan may think that Lee’s sole contribution to the group was the faux-rap in debut single 5,6,7,8.
But dig a little deeper and you’ll find some co-writing credits and some half decent songs which were performe dlive on tour, and in one case ended up on the Tweenies’ album!
This little gem sees mr Latchford Evans take on a rock style track on the summer 200 arena tour.
Post-steps he now sings with The Latch.

Can’t Take away this feeling we R Dancing.
The first track we feature this weekend became an unofficial anthem during the summer of 2000.
During each and every tour each member of STEPS would sing a solo track, and one track during the Steptacular Tour became an instant fan favourite.
‘R Dancing’ was Faye’s solo effort, which she wrote & produced. Tapping into the current Garage revolution that was taking over the UK music scene, the track mixes pop & Garage.
Rumours were abound that the track had been given to dance outfit Shanks and Bigfoot after the tour and the track would appear on their album. The rumour Mill worked overtime to even suggest that Faye would provide guest vocals on the track.
Unfortunately the track never again saw the light of day.
