Steam — The Title Track of East 17’s Biggest Era

“Steam” is the title track from East 17’s second studio album, released in 1994. Steamy, sleek and undeniably 90s, the song captured the band at the height of their commercial powers and helped the parent album become a UK platinum success.

Sound

Tony Mortimer’s songwriting pushed the group into a glossier, more grown-up pop-R&B direction, complete with sweeping synths, a confident Brian Harvey vocal and that unmistakable late-90s polish.

Why It Still Matters

“Steam” stands alongside “Stay Another Day” as a defining East 17 moment — proof that the band could deliver mood, melody and a hook with equal command. Pick any festival set today and “Steam” is still one of the loudest sing-alongs of the night.
