Bananarama - A Trick of the Night


Click

Quite possibly one of my favourite Nana tracks ever..."A Trick of the Night" is a ballad written and produced by Steve Jolley and Tony Swain and released as the final single from Bananarama's album True Confessions.
The song was remixed slightly for its single version, adding extra synthesizer lines and vocal harmony layering. It was also given a more "upbeat" remix by the Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) production trio, at the request of London Records.
The cautionary message in the lyrics are directed towards a friend who has gone to seek his fortune in the big city and ended up a rentboy.
The 12 inch single's B-side, "Set on You", was the first in a series of club-oriented songs recorded specifically for Bananarama's single B-sides that demonstrated the group's shift towards the club market.
