Warm and with abundant disregard for time. That's how new album ‘Still’ by Steppe (the band encompassing radio-maker Lies Steppe) sounds.

 

The beauty is in the vulnerability. Steppe goes for simplicity without avoiding experiment.

The songs on ‘Still’ are more compact and refined.

Steppe sounds sultry, like in the world of Sade, but can also appreciate the power of Stevie Nicks and a wink to Suzanne Vega.

               

The band sounds solid and in possession of restrained power, with the driving basslines of Mirko Banovic and the finesse of Karel De Backer on drums.

Producer and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Steenaerts signed on for the arrangements and the silky smooth, radiant voice of Lies Steppe, in various forms, tops it all off.
As if she sings for you alone.
