Deep — East 17 Cements Their Place at the Top

“Deep” was East 17’s second top-five UK hit, released in January 1993 from the Walthamstow album. With its sultry mid-tempo production and one of Brian Harvey’s most assured vocals, the single peaked at #5 and confirmed the group as more than a one-hit pop project.

Production and Style

Written by Tony Mortimer and produced by the band’s in-house team, “Deep” blended new-jack-swing rhythms with melodic pop hooks — a signature template East 17 would refine across the rest of the decade.

Legacy

“Deep” remains one of the most-streamed East 17 tracks today, and every live set finds a moment to drop into its smouldering groove. The dance floors of the 90s never really moved on from it — and neither did the fans.
