Masquerade

Product Information

To mark this momentous occasion the band will release their 12th brand new studio album 'Masquerade'. Les paroles de « Forever young » sont fortes et si nostalgiques pour un fan qui les aime de longue date. A disrupted 2020 tour schedule gave them an opportunity to turn an EP into a sleek and cohesive 11-track album. Masquerade sees Bananarama reunite 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'.

From a ground-breaking performance at The Brits, to sold-out world tours, party games with George Michael, hanging out with Andy Warhol in New York, to playing Glastonbury last year- Bananarama’s DIY-style and attitude inspired a generation, obliterating all previous notions of what a girl band was or could be. Bananarama celebrate their 40th anniversary with a brand new studio album, Masquerade and produced by the inimitable Ian Masterson. To mark the album's announcement MASQUERADE, a new song Favourite is released today as a treat for fans.REALLY SAYING SOMETHING is the story of two friends who continue to pursue their dreams their way – and have a great time doing it.

And that kind of led to this idea of 'masquerade': how you present yourself in different ways depending on the situation, but really, you just want people to live how they want to live.Legendary pop band Bananarama celebrate 40 sensational years of releasing music, chalking up an astonishing 30 chart hits and 30 million record sales. 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 Sara.

Bananarama se ha superado y si sus discos de los 2000's estaban bastante bien, con este celebran sus 40 años en la música con su mejor disco. The single was added to the B-List of the BBC Radio 2 playlist and made 'Single of the Week' upon release, before moving onto the A-List the following week.

Bananarama announced that two album launch shows would take place at London Lafayette on 3 and 4 August 2022. They originally conceived this latest project as an EP, but when the pandemic wiped out their live schedule in 2020, they carried on writing and MASQUERADE grew into a sleek and cohesive 11-track album. As well as working with longtime collaborator Ian Masterson, Sara Dallin also co-wrote tracks with her daughter Alice Dallin-Walker, known professionally as Alice D. Bananarama have always had a way with a remake but Keren says it was especially gratifying to cover a song that "is just so personal to us".
