Bananarama

Bananarama

Shimmering 1984 synth-pop that trades bubblegum for bittersweet urban realism. Detached unison vocals meet humid, drum-machine-driven grooves.

Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic minor-key synth hook of Cruel Summer that perfectly captures the oppressive feeling of a city heatwave.
The sudden shift to a more serious, socially conscious tone in the percussion-heavy bridge of Rough Justice.
The way the three voices lock into a haunting, flat unison during the verses of Robert De Niro's Waiting.
