Another Step

High-gloss 1986 synth-pop featuring aggressive gated percussion and Wilde's transition from cool New Wave detachment to soulful, chart-ready power.

The record where Kim Wilde went full 80s powerhouse and conquered America with a massive synth-rock cover.

A high-gloss surge of mid-80s confidence mixed with moments of soulful romantic tension.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, metallic snare hit that launches the cover of You Keep Me Hangin' On into high gear.

The soulful, call-and-response vocal interplay between Wilde and Junior Giscombe on the title track.

The sudden shift from sparse verses to the driving, guitar-edged chorus of Hit Him.
