Win Bananarama’s Drama and Viva Expanded Editions

Just pop over to the LoveBananarama Twitter and Instagram for info on how to enter!




Bananarama announce their new album

Bananarama's first material since the 'Now or Never' ep is finally seeing the light of day in 2019!

The album is titled 'In Stereo' and features 10 tracks.  Prior to the announcement, eager fans had already been listening to the Australia iTunes store previews and raving at how ruddy marvellous they are. No dud tracks here, folks.

Sara and Keren are not fans of standing up for photo shoots.
The first complete track is titled 'Dance Music' and it's available right now! It's written by Sara, Keren and Ian Masterson and produced by the legendary Richard X.

Listen to the below previews of each track.




Fans of Sherlock Holmes were speculating if  'Love in Stereo' is the same song as the demo that MKS (of Sugababes fame) recorded and was floating around the internet a couple of years ago.  They were right. It is!

It's also great to see the inclusion of 'Looking for Someone' which we were treated to a clip from, way back. We also finally get to hear the studio version of  'Got To Get Away' which was played at a date on their last Australian tour.

2019 is the year of the 2 Bananas and we've needed this to happen for so long.

What's your favourite track from the clips?  Mine, so far, is Intoxicated. Only cruel people would suggest that I'm perhaps drawn to the familiar name.
