This album marks the end of the group's association with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team (they produced only two songs) as most of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003ePop Life\u003c\/span\u003e was produced by Youth (real name Martin Glover). English singer Zoë provided backing vocals on \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLong Train Running.\u003c\/span\u003e This would be the last album by Bananarama as a trio. After the group's first world tour in 1989, they started recording their fifth album with producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman, but they were dissatisfied with the results of those sessions, thinking the majority of those songs of sub-par quality, although \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eAin't No Cure\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eHeartless\u003c\/span\u003e were eventually included on the album. They started looking for other producers, first working with David Z with whom they recorded \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSome Boys,\u003c\/span\u003e but they felt it was not the direction they wanted to follow and the song remained unreleased until 2013. They then worked with Steve Jolley who, along with Tony Swain, had produced the group's first three records. A song co-written by him, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIs Your Love Strong Enough\u003c\/span\u003e ended up on the album, while another remains unreleased. The group settled with Youth, who had been Sara Dallin's boyfriend years before and whom the group knew well, to produce the majority of the album. Upon its release, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003ePop Life\u003c\/span\u003e received positive reviews from critics. Commercially, the album reached No. 42 in the United Kingdom, No. 37 in Sweden, and No. 146 in Australia. Four mid-charting singles were issued from the album, and following the release of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eTripping on Your Love,\u003c\/span\u003e O'Sullivan left the group, leaving members Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward to continue as a duo. The track \"Ain't No Cure\" was covered by Stock Aitken Waterman produced girl group Delage in 1991, although it was not released until 1997.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793879953689,"sku":"828246-1","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-bananarama-pop_life-04.jpg?v=1783555237","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/828246-1","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
