BANANARAMA
Cruel Summer '89 (PolyGram)
Review by Kate Ceberano, Smash Hits Australia, 1989
This has a great cover! The song doesn't sound like it used to at all! I worked with Phil Harding and Ian Curnow (who produced this record) in London. There's a lot of stolen licks here from many good grooves culminating in a good cliched dance song. I think Bananarama have a good advertising company who do fantastic marketing and know what sells. Bananarama always sound vacuous to me, not convincing. I wouldn't dance to this, no!
