... and once again a possibillity to swim away on a nostalgic wave. Because it's more than 20 years ago,that Kim Wilde had been on the peak of her success with Easy Listening popsongs. And even, you all out there, who are not much into popmusic, though you all know Kim's biggest smashhit 'Kids IN America'. You just couldn't ignore that song then. After that, some other hitsingles came along, like 'Cambodia' or 'View From A Bridge'. But 'The Kids...' always stayed the biggest success. For a long time it has been pretty quiet around the blonde english singer. According to her own information, she spent her time raising up two kids. But of course it has also been the changes of times and the lack of record sales. Only her Compilation alum "The Singles Collection" sold some million times again and showed, that those glory eighties songs still have a great fanbase. The studied landscape gardener then hosted some brit. TV programs about the subject gardening and wrote countless articles for various magazines. In april 2005 she published a book entitled 'Gardening For Children'. But it was 2001, when she came back with a new single 'Loved' - with not too much success, at least over here in Germany. Two
years ago Kim Wilde got together with german popsinger Nena doing a duet
with the single „Irgendwie, Irgendwo, Irgendwann’ (Anytime, Anyplace,
Anywhere', and she went back into the limelight. She used the opportunity
to jump back on the trail again. And last sept. her new album 'Never Say
Never' came out including six old tracks - rereleased and eight new songs. |
