Review - The very best of Kim Wilde
Written by:
Opinions differ when talking about Kim. The one regards the Englishwoman as "cool blond one with the rainless charm", others say, "she sings like Monroe did". In the Looks department Kim bears some similarity to MM. Her "very best" year was in 1981 with the hits "Kids in America" and "Chequered love". On the new album the 14 best titles from her three LPs until now were anyhow selected, completed by two still unpublished accommodations from the treasure chest: "Boys" and "Child come away".
Whoever likes it cool - Kim has one of the coolest voices. And when her voice goes up, it goes under the skin. There it surprises one that she did not emerge more often in the Charts. She shares her success with her brother Ricky, who writes and produces her music, and dad Marty, who writes the lyrics tailored to her beautiful body.
