Bananarama is composed of Keren Woodward, Sarah Dallin and Siobhan Fahey - a trio who began recording together in 1981. Their music reflected a post disco sound gearing towards a synth-pop edge. “I Can’t Help It” is from their 1987 project titled “Wow” - produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman. This light and semi-sexy track is a more moderate direction using the producer's staple sound along with the trio's sweet and melodic harmony. There is a more definite stance here and the group began to peer in a more outward and sexy appeal unforgivingly. It was a nice twist from the 80’s flash appearance which the girls took on initially. “I Can’t Help It” is a double helping of the bass, percussion and energy that the mid-80s dance floor made over as disco also did in the late 70s with soul and funk.
I have taken the 12” versions of “I Can’t Help It” and re-energized the track into a new ReStructure Mix. The added Latin/samba foundation pushes the song into another peak where the sound takes on another dance step.
