Steam is the second studio album by English boy band East 17. It was released in the UK on 17 October 1994 by London Records. The album was certified 2× Platinum in the UK. The album spawned four UK top-10 hits, "Around the World" (No. 3), "Steam" (No. 7), "Let It Rain" (No. 10) and the UK Christmas No. 1, "Stay Another Day". The US version of the album added the three UK top-10 singles from their first album ("House of Love", "Deep" and "It's Alright").

Critical reception

AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote, "East 17's Steam is arguably their most consistent album, featuring a non-stop attack of catchy, incessant dance/pop with strong, melodic pop hooks." Jordan Paramor from Smash Hits gave the album full score of five out of five and named it Best New Album, adding, "East 17 have just produced a dazzling second album to rival the brilliance of Walthamstow. Steam is filled with fast funky tracks along with soulful swingbeat ones. You'll skip around to "Set Me Free" and chill out to "Stay Another Day", a very sexy, stylish love song."
