On Friday, 8 March, beloved pop group Bananarama will release their greatest hits package, Glorious: The Ultimate Collection.

While founding members Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward shared the new song, Feel The Love in October, on Friday (1 December), they unveiled two reworked songs: a remix of Robert De Niro’s Waiting by The Reflex and Velvet Lies, remixed by Aussie producer Luke Million.

The new version of Velvet Lies solely exists on the third CD of the deluxe edition of Glorious. You can listen to Million’s funky remix of Bananarama’s 2022 track below and pre-order/pre-save the greatest hits album here.

“We wanted this to be a unique collection, a celebration of all the twists and turns in our career,” Dallin commented in a press release. “We compiled endless lists of songs, album tracks and hit singles and whittled it down to forty: our favourite tracks from the past four decades.

“Leafing through my early lyric books transported me back to that teenage girl writing poems and scribbles that would eventually be turned into songs. Each track is a piece of the jigsaw and a connection to me. Together, they create the bigger picture, the story of us as artists. It has been one almighty journey.”

Woodward added, “At times, we have maybe felt that we haven’t received the credit, respect, and recognition we deserve, certainly sometimes purely down to the fact we were born female. I feel the collection of songs we have amassed over the last four decades hopefully speak for themselves, so I don’t have to. Putting the music together for this project made me realise how much we have achieved and how determined, tenacious, and hardworking we are.”
