King's debut album,
Steps In Time, is an entertaining collection of new wave dance-pop, highlighted by the single "Love & Pride." Nothing else on the record quite matches "Love & Pride" in terms of energy or hooks, but the album still makes for entertaining listening, provided you are a new wave aficionado. [Oglio's reissue contains all eight tracks, including the three dance remixes of the record's singles ("Love & Pride," "Soul on My Boots," "Won't You Hold My Hand"), that were originally released as bonus tracks on the cassette edition of
Steps In Time.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
