Review

Get ready to groove with Kim Wilde's iconic self-titled debut album, dropping in 1981! This new wave-rock fusion masterpiece, produced by Kim's bro Ricky Wilde, is packed with addictive tracks that captivated the masses. The unstoppable duo of "Kids in America" and "Chequered Love" kicked off Kim's stratospheric rise to fame, with "Kids in America" embodying the essence of new wave's energetic charm.

Dive deeper into the album, and you'll discover a rich musical melting pot. Reggae vibes in "Everything We Know", a sassy brass section in "2-6-5-8-0", and the 60s-inspired "Water on Glass" (tackling the intriguing topic of tinnitus!) showcase the album's impressive diversity. With lyrics spanning love, social commentary, and innovative concepts, this debut is a compelling blend of pure pop allure and artistic flair – a winning combo that solidified Kim Wilde's lasting impact in the early 80s music scene. - Gwen
