Bananarama

Bananarama is an English girl group that has had success with pop and new wave songs since 1982. The group has had ten singles in the top-ten of the UK singles chart to date, as well as three U.S. top-ten hits, one of which hit number one. Some of their biggest international hits include “Cruel Summer”, “Venus”, “Love in the First Degree” and “I Heard a Rumour”. They are known for their unique vocal style which features all members singing the same notes in unison (rather than three-part harmonies). Lead vocals and background vocals were recorded in this way, and much of Bananarama’s early material was recorded with all three members at the same microphone at the same time.
