True Confessions (LP)

Bananarama’s True Confessions is a vibrant and polished gem from 1986, marking the English trio’s third studio album. Released on January 1st (though some sources cite June 30th) by London Records, this 19-track collection delivers a solid 1 hour and 19 minutes of high-energy hi-nrg pop, blending infectious hooks with catchy synth-driven production. The tracklist is a mix of bold originals and dancefloor-ready remixes, featuring standout tracks like the spirited title song, the playful A Trick of the Night, and their iconic cover of Venus—which, with its extended version, became a defining moment for the band. With hits like Ready or Not and Dance with a Stranger, the album showcases Bananarama’s knack for crafting anthems that balance playful energy with a touch of sophistication. Whether you're revisiting classics or discovering them for the first time, True Confessions remains a testament to the band’s enduring appeal in the ‘80s pop landscape.
