1986's TRUE CONFESSIONS is Bananarama's transitional album. Though written and recorded in part with Tony Swain and Steve Jolley, the masterminds behind 1983's DEEP SEA SKIVING and 1984's BANANARAMA, the album's single, a cover of the Shocking Blue's "Venus," was the work of mid-'80s UK hit-makers Stock-Aitken-Waterman. That single-- the trio's first US #1-also inaugurated Bananarama's new, sexier, and more glamorous image.
The rest of TRUE CONFESSIONS is somewhat hit-or-miss in comparison to the earlier albums. The best tracks, like the title song, "Dance with a Stranger," and the slinky second single "Trick of the Night," are nearly the equal of such past hits as "Robert DeNiro's Waiting" or "Cheers Then." Some longtime fans were put off by the Hi-NRG beats and sleeker image, but TRUE CONFESSIONS is a fine example of mid-'80s dance pop.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No ANOTHER TRIUMPH!!!
The girls came out swinging on this, their third release. The original line up had an incredible harmony. Match that to self penned tunes and you make for great occasion. Girl groups come and go,,,one girl in the front,,,two in the back,,,boring,,,not Bananarama. They knew what they were doing and we are better for it. Make sure to get the remastered version of this CD with bonus tracks and b sides from Rhino.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No My FAVORITE
True Confessions is my favorite Bananarama album EVER!! The sound, the look of the singers, it is all so very 80s. "More Than Physical", "Trick of the Night", and of course "Venus" take me straight back to highschool!!!!!!!!! It is a must have for all 80s fans!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Bananarama are just out of this world
This was Bananarama's 3rd album and its great. The sound is similar to the first 2 albums which is great. One thing about Bananarama is that they've never really changed the way they sound which is awsome. Alot of bands seem to change their music as time passes which is ashame but Bananarama have managed to keep their sound the same throughout all of their albums. The songs on this album are relaxing and like slowish dancy type songs if your a bananarama fan then get this CD I have this one on vynal only but thanks to CD universe I now have it on CD as I have been trying to find it on CD.

True Confessions album
 $13.15 
This is a 20-track anthology of hits by the British trio Bananarama, including their debut single with Fun Boy Three, "It Ain't What You Do."
A straightforward singles compilation, Bananarama's GREATEST HITS is a handy summary for fans and an excellent introduction for newcomers. The track selection somewhat unfairly gives short shrift to 1983's DEEP SEA SKIVING and 1984's BANANARAMA, the trio's earliest-some say best-albums, in favor of later singles that were bigger US hits ("I Heard ...

| | Bananarama Deep Sea Skiving CD (1983)
True Confessions album
$9.85
Bananarama's first album is by far their best. Before they fell in with the lucrative but often boring Stock, Aitken & Waterman assembly line starting with 1986's True Confessions, Siobhan Fahey, Sarah Dallin, and Keren Woodward were unashamedly poppy, but they had enough artistic credibility to create a debut album that, barring a couple of small missteps, actually works as an album instead of a collection of singles with some filler. (They were even hip enough for their first single to be produced by ex-Sex Pistol Paul Cook.) Of course, the singles are terrific. There are four British chart hits in these 11 songs, and every one of them still sounds terrific, where later hits like "I Can't Help It" are terribly dated. The slinky "Shy Boy" and a rattling cover of the Marvelettes' "He Was Really Sayin' Somethin'" (co-starring the trio's early mentors ...

"Leavin' Detroit" is written as a musical short story reflecting the hard times that have come, particularly, to Detroit and Southeastern Michigan which has been home to auto factories for decades. For most who live in our region, the majority of jobs are directly or indirectly tied to the auto industry. Recent declines in car and home sales has forced many to accept buyouts or take early retirements forcing many to move out of Michigan. Unemployment is very high and the prospect of finding a job is remote. The day to day economic news is dire and dominates newspaper headlines and conversations withfriends and co-workers.I had no intentions, initially, of making a theme out of the entire "Leavin' Detroit" EP. The first song written (track 3) was the title cut. Actually, I was helping to produce a local band (Apollo) in my home studio and was working daily on their project. They had to take a break for a short time which gave me an opportunity to do some writing. The lead singer of Apollo, Tabe Harold, spent time helping with the arrangement of "Leavin' Detroit" and also laid down some neat vocal back up tracks. (Coincidentally, my first title choice for the song was "Better Day") After completing that composition and recording, the idea of a short project themed around the job losses and bad economic news came to me. The next composition was "Paralyzed" which told the story of an autoworker losing his factory job. He, Bob, became the fictional subject of the project. In "Paralyzed" Bob spends time at the vacated plant peering through the door, pondering his plight. He feels let down by politicians that seem insensitive, and by auto executives that aren't feeling the same pain nor similarly losing their own jobs.Of course, in order to complete the bad news, Bob had to lose his home in "Take it all". This ballad really defines the essence of what it's liketo be in the position that Bob found himself in. "What the hell did I expect? Here, take the front door key!" sums up the frustration and anger that manymust have felt when losing their own jobs and homes in recent months. In response to all of the unforseen events, Bob packs up his family and they head for the south in search of a decent paying job and, hopefully,a better life. Bob is a tough Detroiter and determined not to let the facts and circumstances get in the way of supporting himself and his family. So hedoes what able bodied Americans do. He heads out of town, gets a job and starts over. He knows that his fate, ultimately, is in his own hands.Ultimately, they all adjust to their new homeland all the while missing Detroit. "Report from Raleigh" is an email title that Bob has sent to friends and family. It's a mixed bag of emotions for Bob. His new home and state has some clear advantages, but nothing will ever replace ...
