Bananarama reached the commercial pinnacle of their career with this, their third album, True Confessions, after already becoming one of the biggest girl groups in U.K. pop music history, and scoring a Top 10 U.S. hit with Cruel Summer. This album also marked an artistic change of pace for the trio because they began to utilize super hit producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman, who helped them turn the 1970 rock hit Venus into an unstoppable, unforgettable dance smash. The rest of the album, however, is a little darker than one might expect, with heavy lyrics and themes permeating the songs. To some, True Confessions was a departure of sorts from the post-punk, new wave girl group sound that made Bananarama so essential to early-'80s British alt-pop music. To others, it represents a shift to platinum success (which continued with their follow-up album, Wow!), and this album, along with the hit Venus, are prime examples of classic '80s dance-pop music.
