''Pop Life'' is the fifth studio album released by British girl group Bananarama in 1991 and is the only album released which features Jacquie O'Sullivan, who replaced Siobhan Fahey in Bananarama upon her departure in 1988. 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 ''Pop Life'' was produced by Youth (real name Martin Glover). UK singer Zoë provided backing vocals on "Long Train Running". This would be the last album by Bananarama as a trio. Upon its release ''Pop Life'' earned positive reviews from critics but was a commercial failure, peaking at number 42 in the UK,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official Charts Company > Pop Life )〕 number 37 in Sweden,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=swedishcharts.com > Bananarama - Pop Life (album) )〕 and number 146 in Australia. Four mid-charting singles were issued from the album, and following the release of "Tripping on Your Love", O'Sullivan left the group, leaving members Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward to continue as a duo. The album was a departure from their previous albums as it incorporates a much more diverse range of musical genres, including flamenco guitar (a cover of the Doobie Brothers song "Long Train Running" featuring Alma de Noche, a pseudonym for the Gipsy Kings), retro-rock ("Only Your Love", "Outta Sight"), acid house ("Tripping on Your Love"), reggae ("What Colour R the Skies Where U Live?"), experimental club ("Megalomaniac"), and their hallmark Euro disco sound ("Preacher Man", "Ain't No Cure"). The track "Ain't No Cure" was covered by Stock Aitken Waterman produced girl group Delage in 1991. On 19 March 2007, Bananarama's first six studio albums were re-issued by Rhino Records. All re-issues are remastered and each includes several bonus tracks, consisting of B-sides and remixes. ==Track listing== CD version #"Preacher Man" – 3:15 (S. Dallin/Youth/A.
