Step By Step

Born in Birmingham to Jamaican parents, lover’s rock queen Audrey Scott began her singing career while attending Southwark College, forming the Sadonians with schoolmate Janette Edwards in 1977 and leading their defining hit ‘Goodbye My Love’ two years later. Debut solo album Step By Step was recorded in 1988 for producer Jah Larry, whose Clarendon Sound label was based between Spanish Town and London. The carefully chosen cover tunes are done over in the romantic reggae subgenre of lover’s rock, with the Heptones on backing vocals, capturing the best of Audrey’s abilities at her peak. A smooth, easy, and appealing LP.
