Steppin' Out is the second and last album released by Cleopatra. The album was released on 22 August 2000 by Maverick Records.

Contents

The first single to be released from the album in the UK was "Come and Get Me", while in the US it was "U Got It and "Yes, This Party's Going Right" in Japan.

Cleo Higgins was the main songwriter on the album, which was also co-written with her bandmates and sisters and her mother. The album features production from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Dallas Austin and Stargate.

Recording and production

After the success of their debut Comin' Atcha! and gaining attention in the US, including a Top 40 entry for "Cleopatra's Theme", the girls entered the studio to start work on their then-untitled second album. The girls decided the direction of this album would be R&B and not pop like their first album. Cleo again was the main songwriter, having penned the entire first album with her sister and bandmates credited as co-writers.

Employing a variety of production teams including Cutfather & Joe, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Stargate and bass guitarist and background vocalist Debra Killings, the album was recorded across the US and UK as well as in Norway and Denmark.

Cover artwork

Award winning photography duo Markus and Indrani, best known for their work with Mariah Carey and Beyoncé, were brought in to shoot the album artwork.
