New Wave Outpost Forum

I know this one is real poppy and not everyone's cup of tea, but they are back just in time for Christmas with a Europop goodness of Baby It's Christmas.

I wish vocals were better, but still nice tune. Real catchy chorus, kinda like something from ABBA with a more modern sound [:D]

Hey everyone!

Real poppy indeed. While it's nice to hear something that's unlike most of the crap put out these days, from people who can actually sing, this music isn't the slightest bit related to the new wave Bananarama up to "True Confessions". I respect them for their work, and don't blame them for going in a direction with their music that brought them lots of dough, but they left new wave behind after "Venus" and we shouldn't pretend that they have any connection to that style any longer.

High five to Karen and the rest for plugging away after all these years though! You go, girls.

Shout out to all my old NWO friends from all those years ago! Another decade gone by. Alms to Mike. A candle for the late great DJ Jim Dunlap.

Amen to that.

Very cool InvisibleMan. Although the vocals aren't stellar, it sounds like they are being themselves. My gosh, Keren still looks absolutely beautiful.

Geez, download only? They can't even press a thousand cd's?!?

their new EP "Now or Never" contains 2 new songs, and a cover of Maroon 5 Moves Like Jagger..[:)]

I heard this and was simply amazed.

Didn't think it was possible but they sound even more vapid now than they did back then.

I bought this on I tunes about 10 days ago. I wish for CD singles but those days have gone folks. Look no further than all the remixes from the latest excellent Madonna album. The CD Singles that were released were awful 2 mix affairs for £3.99. No new CD singles from Madness, Gary Numan or many 80's (based) artists. I had to order the last PSB single, 'Winner' from their website. £6.44 inc. postage and so much hassle for ONE CD single! Everything Bananarama have released in the last 6 years has been great BTW and this is no exception!

Listened to it. Indistinguishable from any number of banal, interchangeable, lame songs. Never would have known it was Bananarama. Production tech has advanced to the point where it eclipses any talent or imagination the band previously had.

it's not that surprising, cause Desireless original was a top 10 hit all throughout Europe, and even in UK it peaked at 5

That's not my point: I was surprised to find it existed. Probably the only thing that they've done in 20 years that doesn't make my ears bleed. Not the steaming turd that you posted.

Sugoi !!!
