Review by Andrew_Clarkson May 15, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Even though Mel and Kim were a pop act, there's no getting away from the fact that the production on Showing Out is 'stomping'!

Big beats, synth stabs, and tons of reverb made for a track that just dragged you straight to the dancefloor every time, and it still puts a huge smile on my face every time I hear the tune.

Unfortunately, even though the follow-up single 'Respectable' sold many more singles and became No. 1, 'Showing Out', for me, is one of the the finest dance pop records of the eighties.
