new bananarama single soon
I like it. Is it cool? No; but since when have the nana’s been about ‘cool’? Is it autotuned beyond words? Um, sadly yes - the danger of a seriously bum note was always one of the thrills of a ‘rama record. Is it wave your bottle of poppers aloud in a tent at a suburban gay pride ‘festival’? Clearly: Which makes it fantastic. Will it be a commercial success? I have no idea - I’m older than 16 and therefore have no right to an opinion on what should or shouldn’t chart in the popular music charts. But what I do know is that the “Drama” album - several years after release - is still on my ipod play charts from time to time. Pop, pure and simple, without pretention; and all the better for it.
