Lead single 'Move In My Direction' put Bananarama back in the UK singles charts for the first time in 12 years reaching #14 in August 2005, then their dancefloor smash, a re-versioning of classic Italo Disco track 'Look On The Floor (Hypnotic Tango)' gave them a #26 hit just 3 months later. "Drama" was also the first album to be released in Bananarama's native UK for 12 years, heralding a British 'comeback' of sorts!This deluxe packaged re-issue, comes with a full colour 20 page lyric and photo booklet including a specially written introduction from Keren and Sara. The album, an upbeat electro-pop blend of elements of 70s disco and contemporary electronica, employed a number of top end collaborators. Bananarama worked with a select team of world renowned producers and songwriters, including Ian Masterson, Mute8 and Sweden's Murlyn; a production team that created an album of eleven newly recorded electropop tracks that were originally released with two bonus tracks re-instated herewith; Marc Almond's Hi-NRG remix of a version of their 1986 smash hit 'Venus' and an all new remix of a version of their 1982 hit, 'Really Saying Something' - which had been an underground club hit produced by Solasso.
