Teases & Dares

Kim Wilde

Crystalline 1984 synth-pop with a cinematic edge. A transition record where neon-lit dance floor fillers meet introspective, self-penned suburban noir.

Find on Amazon

It's the record where the 80s poster girl starts writing her own weird, beautiful synth-noir songs.

A restless blend of high-gloss pop energy and quiet, suburban isolation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The eerie 'Mother?' vocal samples opening 'Bladerunner' that immediately establish a cinematic, dystopian tension.
The rhythmic, repetitive pulse of 'Fit In' that mimics the claustrophobia of suburban apartment living.
The transition into the lush, ethereal chorus of 'Shangri-La' where the production finally breathes and expands.
