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. The Unmasked Edition' comes as a double transparent pink vinyl with printed inner sleeve featuring the Masquerade album on Disc 1 and exclusive extended remixes from the likes of Shanghai Surprise, Cahill, Almighty, Lamentis, Sebastian Perez and Until Dawn on Disc 2. 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. 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'. We've done a different take on it but with Alice on backing vocals because we couldn't not use her ad libs, they're just too good.

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. When we were all in lockdown, there were a lot of conversations happening to do with inclusivity, diversity and gender and racial equality," Sara explains. A disrupted 2020 tour schedule gave them an opportunity to turn an EP into a sleek and cohesive 11-track album.

To mark the album's announcement MASQUERADE, a new song Favourite is released today as a treat for fans. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. My 'favourite ' songs are Favourite, Masquerade, Velvet Lies , Stay Wild and Running with the Night. For the past three decades, Bananarama’s Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward have been one of pop’s most influential and revered groups.

Bananarama celebrate their 40th anniversary with a brand new studio album, Masquerade and produced by the inimitable Ian Masterson. The result is a tremendously entertaining electro-dance album that sounds both fresh and quintessentially Bananarama. 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. 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 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".

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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Me encantan "Masquerade", "Favourite", "Running with the night", "Stay Wild", "Velvet líes" y "Forever Young". 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'.
