If someone held a gun at my head and I forced me to pick a favourite Bananarama song, I'd most likely go with 'Cruel Summer'. It's been a mind-boggling forty years since that was originally released, so getting a new version to celebrate that milestone makes perfect sense. This '3AM Mix' gives off a gentle early 2000s commercial Trance vibe, possibly one of the Chicane tracks from back then, and it's really quite beautiful in places. To be honest, I wish it had been given the full Cafe Del Mar treatment, but I am not mad at this at all.
