Frankee & Britt, better known as Mini Viva, release their follow up to the 2009 top ten hit Left My Heart In Tokyo, with the irresistible new single One Touch, which is out on May 3rd through Geffen records.

Another guaranteed dance floor filler, One Touch takes a cheeky nod at the eighties sound of Chicago house and hi-nrg and looks set to become a massive hit.

Described by POPJUSTICE as ’so amazing it will make your head explode’, One Touch is pop gem that is perfect for dancing round the living room getting ready for a Saturday night out with the girls!

Mini Viva are currently applying the finishing touches to their debut album and last week launched an interactive online show called Viva Mini Viva! featuring the girls online every Friday between 4.30pm and 5pm in the UK.

mini viva - i wish

Pop duo Mini Viva will follow the success of their debut single Left My Heart in Tokyo, with the equally infectious latest release I Wish, which is released on December 14th.

The band name Mini Viva derives from the nicknames that the two girls have chosen for each other-Mini is Britt Love- Because she reminds her singing partner of Minnie Mouse, a bit bonkers and liable to do her own thing.

Viva is Frankee Connolly and the nickname means vivacious – “exotic, cool and beautiful with that face that says butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth, don’t be decieved!” warns Britt.

Mini Viva are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album which is scheduled for release in early 2010. The new single I Wish is available on Geffen Records as a CD or digital download from December 14th.

The video features the sisters looking particularly raunchy and very sexy. Without fantasising too much this track is going to be a massive hit for the girls. 4 Ever is released on September 28th.

Bananarama release new album, Viva Bananarama

Bananarama, the most successful girl group of all time and who formed 27 years ago, have released their new album, Viva Bananarama on Fascination Records, and are now labelmates with the likes of Girls Aloud and The Saturdays.

Two of the original three members, Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward have written and recorded their 10th studio album.  During their illustrious career Bananarama have had phenomenal international success selling over 40 million records. With self penned hits such as ‘Cruel Summer’, ‘Robert de Niro’s Waiting’ and ‘Love In The First Degree’.

The Bananrama story starts a new chapter with the release of Viva Bananarama.  The album is a fresh take on their familiar dance pop formula that has brought them so much success in the past; and as with previous material the new album is strong with a very polished commercial sound production.  It will be interesting to see if Bananarama can still be as commercially successful in 2009 as they were back in the 1980’s.

Viva Bananarama continues to include self-penned material from Sara and Keren who throughout their career have been able to pinpoint and identify the right collaborators throughout their career.

In the early 1980’s they approached producers Jolley & Swain on the strength of their work on Imagination’s ‘Bodytalk’, which resulted UK hit singles like ‘Shy Boy’, ‘Cruel Summer’ and ‘Roberts De Niro’s Waiting.’ A few years later they heard Dead Or Alive’s ‘You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)’ and decided to work with Stock Aitken & Waterman on ‘Venus’, ‘Love In The First Degree’, ‘I Heard A Rumour’ and ‘I Want You Back’, which led to an entirely new phase for the band with 1987’s ‘Wow!’ album.

As recently as 2005 they were picking out Swedish hitmaking team Murlyn and in 2009 they’ve found a perfect foil in Ian Masterson, a producer whose credits range from Pet Shop Boys to Girls Aloud.

Bananarama’s Viva Bananarama is released on Frustration Records.

100 R&B Classics: The Original Anthems

100 R&B Classics: The Original Anthems is released today (7th September) on Warner.  100 R&B tracks on 5 CDs

Before the summer ends, pump up the volume as the temperatures rise with 5 CDs of the hottest R&B classics past and present. 100 R&B Classics: The Original Anthems includes recent tracks

The definitive collection features recent anthems from urban heavyweights such as T.I ft Justin Timberlake (Dead & Gone), Estelle (No Substitute Love), Jennifer Hudson (Spotlight), Flo Rida (Right Round), Madcon (Beggin’) and Ironik (Tiny Dancer) plus classic R&B songs including Luther Vandross (Never Too Much), Usher (Burn), SWV (Weak), TLC (Waterfalls), En Vogue (My Lovin’) and two tracks from All Saints (Never Ever and their cover version of the 1970’s classic Lady Marmalade).

The latest collection follows on from the massive success of its two predecessors in the “100 R&B… series”, and is the perfect summer’s compilation for 2009; if you only buy one this year, make it 100 R&B Classics: The Original Anthems.

It was back in 1982 when Bananarama first appeared, adding backing vocals to the Fun Boy Three song It Ain’t What You Do (It’s the way that you do it), and never looking back.

The girls followed with their own list of never ending chart hits including Venus, Cruel Summer and perhaps the best remembered of all Robert De Niro’s Waiting.

With the current trend of regurgitating eighties music Bananarama are sure to be a huge hit with new and old fans alike.

Here is the promo video of Love Comes performed by Bananarama.
