Bananarama are back!
Per Eurosolution:
Single release date is September 6th digital, September 7th physical. Album ‘Viva Bananarama’ released September 14th.
Please welcome back to Eurosolution one of our favourite acts of all time Bananarama! You can barely leave your house without tripping over a statistic boasting girlband member but for Bananarama's Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward the achievements speak for themselves: more hits than the Spice girls, more album sales than Girls Aloud, a Band Aid appearance, an entry in the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest girl group surpassing the Supremes with more charting singles, all of which were international hits, four hitting the Billboard Top 10.
It ain’t always what one does - sometimes it’s the way that one does it, and Bananarama are here today with a rather great new album "Viva Bananarama". For the same reason they formed 27 years ago, a singular talent for directing their own fate. It’s a career that’s seen them write for themselves, style themselves and even occasionally manage themselves, all adding up to a whopping 40 million record sales. With 2009’s Top 3-or-bust mentality ruling pop it’s sometimes hard to remember life beyond the Top 40, but in 1981 a debut single storming to Number 92 was the beginning of something rather exciting. From their debut single storming the Top 100, through the multi-platinum studio albums and a million-selling Greatest Hits compilation, Bananarama's story has always been fresh. You might look at what came before and think, briefly, that Bananarama rewrote the pop rulebook; in truth they never read it in the first place and for over twenty years have been calling their own shots, making theirs a name synonymous with bright, sophisticated and authentically brilliant pop music.
The band’s story starts a new chapter this summer with the release of ‘Viva Bananarama’ an exciting, modern new album with both feet planted on the dancefloor. 2009’s new self-penned material is, once again, the result of Sara and Keren identifying the right collaborators for the right point in their career. It’s become something of a habit: in the early 1980s they approached producers Jolley & Swain on the strength of their work on Imagination's 'Bodytalk', resulting in hit singles like ‘Shy Boy’, ‘Cruel Summer’ and ‘Roberts De Niro’s Waiting.’ Then came Dead Or Alive's 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)' and decided to work with Stock Aitken & Waterman on 'Venus', ‘Love In The First Degree’, ‘I Heard A Rumour’ and ‘I Want You Back’, which led to an entirely new phase for the band with 1987’s ‘Wow!’ album.
As recently as 2005 they were picking out Swedish hitmaking team Murlyn and in 2009 they’ve found a perfect foil in Ian Masterson, a producer whose credits range from Pet Shop Boys to Girls Aloud and whose instinctive grasp of the Bananarama spirit has resulted in some extraordinarily good music on this new album.
Now, you have this massive exclusive in the shape of their stunning new single "Love Comes" which we think is easily one of the finest things they have recorded to date! With new home Fascination records too, you just know that this is going to be absolutely amazing and this promo does not disappoint. Check out hot remixes including Ian Masterson's fab Extended Mix, Riffs & Rays who are yet again on fire and a corker or a mix from the Wideboys!
