INFORMATION
Hed Kandi remixer Justin Solasso, a big fan of Bananarama, wanted to re-introduce modern clubbers to the band and decided to do so with a 2004 remix of their 1982 UK Top 5 hit, a cover version of the Velvettes' "Really Saying Something". This became a huge club hit in the UK and was eventually picked up by the All Around The World label after Keren and Sara had given their approval. The single (with additional remixes besides Solasso's) was given a limited release in the UK in June 2005 and Solasso's remix was included on the 2005 Bananarama album "Drama" .
View the full-length high-quality video for "Really Saying Something" (Solasso remix) at the Alchemy website here . Look for Phil Griffin (who's also directed videos for Blue, Atomic Kitten and Steps) under the list of directors to find it. Phil Griffin has also directed Bananarama's new video "Move In My Direction".
The "Really Saying Something" video is also available on the official Bananarama website.
Keren and Sara only appear in the background of the video on TV screens. The models in the video (who lip-synch to the song) are all contestants of UK reality TV show "Make Me A Supermodel".
There was a wide variety of promotional / limited releases available for "Really Saying Something". Additional remixes available include the Hardino remix, the Shanghai Surprize remix, the DJ Bomba & The Soulseekerz remix, the Giresse remix and the Kenny Hayes Sunshine Funk remix.
