Running Wild Masquerade

Bananarama release a very Limited Edition of their ‘Masquerade’ album on the 7th April (available now for Pre-order). '

When Bananarama returned with 2019's In Stereo, it was their first release in ten years. It also followed an elaborate reunion tour with the long-departed Siobhan Fahey that briefly reinstated the group to its original trio format. While Fahey didn't stick around, bandmates Keren Woodward and Sarah Dallin sounded invigorated, if not particularly innovative on their comeback album. Three years later, the duo offers Masquerade, another tightly crafted platter that fits soundly within their Euro dance-pop wheelhouse. Working again with Ian Masterson who produced this album's predecessor, Woodward and Dallin initially planned to record an EP, but when sessions were interrupted by the global pandemic, they continued writing an album's worth of songs.

Masquerade is the twelfth studio album by English musical duo Bananarama. It was released on 22 July 2022 as part of the band's 40th anniversary celebrations. The album was originally conceived as an EP however following the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown beginning, the group began working towards creating a full 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. Favourite was released on 29 April 2022 as a promotional single to launch the album campaign. The track is a cover of Alice D's track of the same name and is one of two covers on the album, the other being "Brand New". "Masquerade" was released on 15 June 2022 as the lead single. 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.

Legendary pop band Bananarama celebrate 40 sensational years of releasing music, chalking up an astonishing 30 chart hits and 30 million record sales. To mark this momentous occasion the band will release their 12th brand new studio album 'Masquerade'. 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'. A disrupted 2020 tour schedule gave them an opportunity to turn an EP into a sleek and cohesive 11-track album. “I love writing songs it’s probably my favourite part. 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. "Arranging the music, vocals and harmonies really is our forte," Woodward adds. The result is a tremendously entertaining electro-dance album that sounds both fresh and quintessentially Bananarama.
