The Kelly/Steinberg song writing team were amongst the most successful of the 1990’s but,like many others, their beginnings were humble and shrouded in obscurity. i – Ten’s ‘Taking A Cold Look’ may not have made much of an impact when first released but its arrival signalled a seismic shift in the world of pop and rock. It was the recording debut as a duo of two of the world’s most successful songwriters, a record that came and went in the blink of an eye but containing some of the most impressive songs and musical arrangements of all time.
Produced to pin-point perfection by Keith Olsen (Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner etc), together with Toto guitarist Steve Lukather, the tracks display a healthy appetite for the kind of super glossy hi-tech sound employed by Toto, Steely Dan and Journey; high grade AOR of the finest variety. However, it’s Steinberg and Kelly’s songs that provide the bulk of the cake - songs later covered by the likes of REO Speedwagon, Honeymoon Suite and Heart (‘Alone’ was a #1 hit US single). ‘Taking A Cold Look’ is recognised by those in the know as one of the most complete works of the era and one deserving full reappraisal.
