As introductions go, few made an impression as indelible as Bananarama’s March 1983 debut album, Deep Sea Skiving. Falling somewhere between The Slits and The Supremes, these ramshackle Ronettes blended the notion of the classic girl groups of the 60s and the DIY ethos of the punk scene that spawned them to carve out a niche entirely of their own. ...
Although they had notched up four Top 5 singles by the time they began work on their second album, Sara, Keren and Siobhan still felt they had to prove themselves as songwriters given that those hits comprised three covers and a Swain & Jolley composition while the self-penned Cheers Thenhad missed the Top 40, disappointing them greatly. Despite th...
The band’s third album reflects a transitional time in their history, serving as a bridge between their early rough and ready sound and the polished pop of their union with Stock Aitken Waterman. Though its biggest hit, Venus, doesn’t really represent the remainder of the LP, True Confessionsis nevertheless a strong album packed with well-crafted p...
Following the international success of Venus in 1986, enlisting Stock Aitken Watermanto produce their next record in its entirety seemed like a no-brainer. Once in the studio, however, a tug-of-war ensued when the girls, used to having a hands-on approach with their music, found themselves battling to have their ideas entertained by the producers w...
New decade. New line-up. New sound. Bananarama’s first studio album in four years emerged following arguably the most turbulent and triumphant period of the girls’ career to date. After Siobhan’s departure in 1988, Sara and Keren were keen to continue as a duo but were dissuaded by their record company who believed Bananarama was entrenched in the ...
Following the under-performance of Pop Life and Tripping On Your Love being the group’s first single to miss the Top 75 since Aie A Mwana in 1981, not to mention the departure of Jacquie O’Sullivan shortly after, Bananarama had not only lost a member but also seemingly, their confidence. Now confirmed as a duo, Sara and Keren were majorly disappoin...
Having parted ways with their long-term label London Records, and with Britpop ruling the UK music scene, Bananarama shifted their focus to the territories where they were still enjoying success, Europe and Japan, hence them being missing in action for the remainder of the 90s as far as their homeland was concerned. Their seventh studio album, Ultr...
With Bananarama functioning almost exclusively as a live act in the late 90s and early 2000s, trotting out the hits at European festivals, club appearances and Pride events, the girls found they were missing the creative process of recording new music. However, as they were once again without a record deal and with their profile at an all-time low,...
Another album, another new home, this time on Italian label A&G Records. Though essentially still an independent act, the quality control on Drama is streets ahead of anything the girls had released since Pop Life. Well written and slickly produced with a team that included Ian Masterson and Swedish hitmakers Murlyn, it was their strongest set for ...
Originally envisioned as an album of disco covers, Bananarama’s 10th studio LP evolved into a different entity altogether when the girls, along with writer and producer Ian Masterson, began penning original material during the recording sessions. Now on the same label as Girls Aloud and The Saturdays, Bananarama released Vivain September 2009, a po...
