Bananarama -- Drama

After a lengthy absence Bananarama return and it's very much the same formula that made the girls such a successful group in the 80s.

Opening track Move In My Direction soon puts young pretenders like Girls Aloud firmly in their place and it's just like the Nanas have never been away.

Feel For You matches anything Madonna can do and Don't Step On My Groove has all the sassiness of an on-form Kylie.

The two bonus tracks -- remixes of Venus and Really Saying Something -- tarnish what is otherwise a perfect piece of harmless pop.

Eric Bent -- Hurricane

Therapy and a five-year break from music has obviously done Bent good. Hurricane traces his journey to redemption taking in the highs and the lows.

Stand-out tracks include upbeat guitar ditty Be Myself Again, the more ambitious My Prayer and Man Enough to Cry and The Last Time.

A more motown R Kelly, Bent might not get any number one hits but he has effortlessly succeeded in producing a great album that swept this girl right off her feet. The charmer.
