A Milestone Double A-Side from the Peak Era of British Y2K Pop
Step back into the sunset era of original turn-of-the-millennium British pop with the physical CD single release of "Words Are Not Enough" / "I Know Him So Well" by the legendary Steps. Released in December 2001 as a monumental double A-side single from their hit collection Gold: Greatest Hits, this specific release carries immense nostalgic value for fans as it was their final physical single release before their decade-long hiatus.
This highly collectible release showcases the group's signature musical versatility across two distinct tracks:
- Words Are Not Enough: A beautiful, mid-tempo synth-pop ballad co-produced by Topham & Twigg that captures the iconic late-90s/early-2000s signature sound.
- I Know Him So Well: A brilliant, soaring modern pop cover of the legendary Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, and Tim Rice ballad from the musical Chess (originally a global smash for Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson), featuring spectacular vocal turns by Claire Richards and Lisa Scott-Lee.
As an Enhanced CD, this physical media release also contains the official desktop interactive player software, including the official animated sci-fi themed promotional music video for "Words Are Not Enough". A wonderful nostalgia addition for Y2K pop enthusiasts, Steps completists, and physical chart-single archivists.
