Bananarama - True Confessions (Edit)


  1. True Confessions (Edit)

Bananarama - Do Not Disturb



A transitional song for Bananarama in August 1985, inbetween the 2nd Album and True Confessions came this stand alone single, it only peaked at number 31 in the UK (Even with the addition of the beautiful shaped picture discs) and it was later included on the 'True Confessions' album but Bananarama never really liked the song. 10 Months later Venus was released and Bananarama's direction changed forever.

Bananarama - Venus (1986 Versions)





Click


I don't think there needs to be said very much about this track, other than pure pop genuis. This track was to change Bananarama's direction in music forever. Sadly Venus only reached number 8 in the UK in May 1986. The track feared better in the USA and gained the girls a number one hit, something they still have not achieved in the UK!

Bananarama - More Than Physical



In order to capitalize on the number-one success of previous single "Venus" (the other True Confessions track produced by SAW), "More Than Physical" was given a UK garage-influenced make-over to sound similar to the dance-oriented chart-topper. The new version's music video further capitalized on Bananarama's new glamourous and sexy visual image by including several well-muscled, topless men in a montage of shots of the group members.

Even with heavy exposure on MTV, "More Than Physical" did not duplicate the success of "Venus", stalling at number forty-one on the UK singles chart in August 1986.

"More Than Physical" was immortalised into 80's pop culture by being featured in the popular 1986 British film Rita, Sue and Bob Too starring Michelle Holmes and Siobhan Finneran. The song is featured in the scene where the girls are babysitting for Bob and Michelle, and they dance around the living room while the video to "More Than Physical" plays on the television

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.
