Bananarama - Viva

Reissue of this 2009 album by the British pop/dance divas. Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward found a perfect foil in Ian Masterson, a producer whose credits range from Pet Shop Boys to Girls Aloud and whose instinctive grasp of the Bananarama spirit resulted in some extraordinarily good music on this album. "Seventeen" is an undulating, low-slung electro number which pleads "kiss me like you do in my dreams, make me feel like I was seventeen", then there's the seductive, ice-cold "Extraordinary" and the single "Love Comes"-a dancefloor belter with no strings attached.
