Working with producers Richard X and Ian Masterson, Bananarama achieve an interesting thing with In Stereo, their first full-length album in a decade. They manage to refresh a retro vibe, adhering to the Euro-dance sound that’s been their specialty since the group became a duo, but not sounding precisely like a throwback. Credit goes to how Keren Woodward and Sarah Dallin retain an infatuation with classic girl group pop structure, a foundation that allows for a bunch of glitzy neo-disco and pseudo-house accoutrements. If Bananarama aren’t precisely dealing with new trends in dance, there’s also a certain dignity in how they’re faithful to the sounds of the ’80s, ’90s, and Y2K: it doesn’t feel like they’re outdated as much as sticking to what they know looks good on them.

Legendary pop band Bananarama celebrate 40 sensational years of releasing music, chalking up an astonishing 30 chart hits and 30 million record sales. To mark this momentous occasion the band will release their 12th brand new studio album ‘Masquerade’. The duo reunited with producer Ian Masterson, with whom they also worked on 2019’s In Stereo – their highest-charting album since the late ’80s – and 2009’s Viva, home to the thumping club hit ‘Love Comes’. A disrupted 2020 tour schedule gave them an opportunity to turn an EP into a sleek and cohesive 11-track album. “I love writing songs it’s probably my favourite part. Shutting myself away and coming up with ideas and then telling a story in less than 4 minutes, it really is quite an art”, says Dallin. “Arranging the music, vocals and harmonies really is our forte,” Woodward adds. The result is a tremendously entertaining electro-dance album that sounds both fresh and quintessentially Bananarama.
