Heat Interview Claire

Exclusive: heatworld interviews Claire from Steps

Steps reunited! Does this all feel very surreal, or quite natural?

It does feel quite natural actually. It doesn’t so much feel like we have picked up where we left off but it doesn’t feel like it has been 10 years either. I think if I let myself think about it too much then it will start to feel surreal.

The album is doing very well in the mid-weeks (No.2.) Are you surprised by this, considering the content of the album?

Yes. The response to the show has been over-whelming. I just don’t think we could have ever imagined the response to be so good and that there are still people out there who want to hear us so it’s great, especially as it’s another greatest hits of the same material.

Many bands have reformed and failed, and yet Steps have instantly launched with a nationwide arena tour. What is different about Steps?

I think with Steps the difference is that we went away for 10 years and no one saw us together at all in that time. These other bands like Blue never really went away, and came back with new material that changed the memory of the band’s image. With Steps there is no new material really, it’s just a celebration of what we achieved 10 years ago.

Do you think you have to go away completely to come back again?

Maybe. I think also its 10 years. It’s a long time.

It seems to be the magic number.

Yes.
