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.

A limited edition deluxe of the album MASQUERADE is released on clear pink double vinyl and Digital including 6 exclusive full length remixes*. 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. A disrupted 2020 tour schedule gave them an opportunity to turn an EP into a sleek and cohesive 11-track album. My 'favourite ' songs are Favourite, Masquerade, Velvet Lies , Stay Wild and Running with the Night. 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'.REALLY SAYING SOMETHING is the story of two friends who continue to pursue their dreams their way – and have a great time doing it. 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. To mark the album's announcement MASQUERADE, a new song Favourite is released today as a treat for fans.

To mark this momentous occasion the band will release their 12th brand new studio album 'Masquerade'. The result is a tremendously entertaining electro-dance album that sounds both fresh and quintessentially Bananarama. Bananarama celebrate their 40th anniversary with a brand new studio album, Masquerade and produced by the inimitable Ian Masterson. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Bananarama announced that two album launch shows would take place at London Lafayette on 3 and 4 August 2022.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. 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. 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.
