After The Love Has Gone (Steps Song)
"After the Love Has Gone" is a song by Steps, released as their seventh single, and the third from their second album ''Steptacular''. The track continues the group's pop sound but has clear Asian musical influences. Claire Richards provides lead vocals. Critical reception AllMusic editor Jon O'Brien described the song as "melancholic dance-pop". Scottish newspaper ''Aberdeen Evening Express'' stated that it "has all the trademark Steps piano bits", noting that it "does sound a bit too much" like "Love's Got a Hold on My Heart". Can't Stop the Pop said that the most distinctive element of the track is that it's "proudly dressed up as an oriental number." They also complimented its "beautiful melancholy" lyrics. ''Sunday Mirror'' commented, "Net more ABBA sound-aliking from the Steps crew. This dance routine's a bit tricky though." Chart performance The song spent 11 weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number five. It fell out of the top 75 after nine weeks but rose bac ...

It was the first time that any monarch in British history celebrated a platinum jubilee, as is the case in the histories of the other Commonwealth realms.

They added that the chorus is "deceptively – and enduringly – catchy." Scottish newspaper '' Daily Record'' said it is "their best tune yet. A Europop sound, ABBA-tinged melody and they even supply the dance moves on the CD box". They also wrote, "This song sounds like the band looks - cheesy. The tune ...
