With ten super strong songs, including the already released hit single ‘The Second Time’, Kim Wilde is back after a one-year record break combined with the change to a new record company.
“Teases And Dares” is Kim’s fourth LP, which, like her predecessors, was produced by brother Ricki and father Marty Wilde. New on the latest Wilde family production: In addition to Ricki and Marty, Kim contributed two of his own compositions to the LP for the first time, and Kim also played keyboard instruments on various songs for the first time.
The long break since the last LP and tour has obviously done Kim good, because it makes ‘Teases and Dares’ more confident, mature and versatile than before. A tip as proof: Kim’s own composition ‘Fit In’, with which she should finally get rid of the last prejudices of the pretty but untalented pop star. ‘Teases And Dares’ is a great album from A to Z that shouldn’t be missing in any record collection!
