Masquerade

Bananarama

Polished electropop and shimmering synth-pop from the duo's 40th anniversary. A sophisticated, late-night record that balances club energy with mature reflection.

It's like the 80s grew up, got a penthouse, and started drinking better wine.

A sophisticated blend of late-night confidence and shimmering electronic nostalgia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The pulsating bassline of the title track that feels like a direct nod to their Hi-NRG roots but with a 21st-century polish.
The shimmering, almost ethereal synth pads that open Favourite, setting a mood of sophisticated longing.
The way their signature unison vocals on Stay Wild sound more lived-in and resonant than their 80s output.
