Used to quite like Kim Wilde back in the early 80's. Made some good stuff. A rollercoaster career ever since of course. However, she's got a new album out and it's pretty damned good. Check out this official video for a track called Kandy Krush. OK, all quite ageing Debbie Harry-ish but great nonetheless.

The jewel in Kim's crown was always her song-writing brother Ricky, who i believe is the bald, round fella in this video.
There was always big equal dollops of major and minor chords in her best songs, and big choruses - this one harks back to that a bit.

He produced the new album, which has quite a few terrific tracks on it. There's the usual mix of candy floss pop that she was associated with back in the mid to late 80's (a la You Came, Four Letter Word etc.) but there's a nice helping of slightly edgier material like this one. The 12" mix of Rage To Love from back in the day is one of my all time faves.

Heard this loads of times on R2, it is classic Kim and I really like it now. 👍

Another new one. I really shouldn't like this but I do! Maybe this should be in the guilty pleasure thread Love the chorus. Very 80's but it wasn't ALL bad

And I've just found this. No idea when its from but it's a slightly more rocked up version of You Came. And mighty fine it is too. Must track it down properly. I'm getting all nostalgic. Along with other, eh, less innocent emotions obviously
