The F–Z of Pop

The group undertook a series of live dates across the UK throughout 2016 and towards the end of the year decided on recording a new album with acclaimed 1980s producer Mike Stock.

Featuring eight new compositions, three reworkings of old Bucks Fizz songs and four alternate versions, the album was well received by the group's fans and sold well-enough to score a UK top 30 placing, entering the chart at No.25.

[8] A vinyl version of the album was released on 13 October 2017 featuring ten tracks, including the previously unreleased song "I Am the Beat".

[10] Classic Pop Magazine gave the song a rave review calling it "brilliant" and saying that it was "moody, pounding [and] melodious".
