Bananarama are back with their storming electro-pop anthem, Supernova.
The track is the second original cut to be lifted from ‘Glorious: The Ultimate Collection’ – the duo’s forthcoming 40th anniversary retrospective – and sees Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward once again reunite with frequent collaborator Ian Masterson.
Listen to Supernova below.
Curated by Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward to collect four decades of material, ‘Glorious – The Ultimate Collection‘ also includes the new single Feel The Love.
“We wanted this to be a unique collection, a celebration of all the twists and turns in our career,” says Sara. “We compiled endless lists of songs, album tracks and hit singles and whittled it down to forty: our favourite tracks from the past four decades.
“Leafing through my early lyric books transported me back to that teenage girl writing poems and scribbles that would eventually be turned into songs. Each track … is a piece of the jigsaw and a connection to me. Together they create the bigger picture, the story of us as artists. It has been one almighty journey.”
Keren adds: “At times we have maybe felt that we haven’t received the credit, respect, and recognition we deserve, certainly sometimes purely down to the fact we were born female.
“I feel the collection of songs we have amassed over the last four decades hopefully speak for themselves, so I don’t have to. Putting the music together for this project… made me realise how much we have achieved and how determined, tenacious, and hardworking we are.”
In support of the new album, Bananarama will play three shows at the London Palladium – on April 3, 4 and 6 – with tickets on sale now and available here.
