Thoughts

I wasn’t expecting a new album from Kim Wilde, and if we’re being honest, it’s not really a ’new’ album. It is SO eighties: brilliantly, unapologetically eighties, with Kim Wilde living her best life. She sounds a lot like Madonna at times, and it’s weird that Midge Ure makes a guest appearance only for Vienna to be sampled on the last track. But although it’s muddling and a mixed up experience, I really enjoyed it!
