2018 saw the British pop icon Kim Wilde returning into the spotlight with her acclaimed new studio album âHere Come The Aliensâ and a major tour of the same name. And what a year it was! Kim Wilde rocked around the world and delivered an impressive show full of passion and power. The âprincess of popâ put her audience into nostalgic ecstasy, being modern and contemporary at the same time and leaving her fans with the question, why she has never released a live album before?
Finally, the wait is over: After releasing more than a dozen studio albums, Kim Wilde is celebrating almost 40 years of performing with her first ever live album â âAliens Liveâ â out on August 16th, 2019 via earMUSIC. The release will be available on CD and digital but also on limited edition vinyl neon orange coloured vinyl, limited in the UK to 250 individually numbered copies.
In 1981, Kim Wilde conquered the music scene with her worldwide hit âKids In Americaâ, the start of a breath-taking career with over 30 million records sold and some of the most memorable hits such as âYou Keep Me Hanginâ Onâ, which topped the US Billboard Hot 100, âCambodiaâ and âChequered Loveâ.
With her studio album âHere Come The Aliensâ released in March 2018, she set another milestone in her remarkable career. Produced by Ricky Wilde and recorded at the famous RAK Studios in London, the album contains 12 brand new songs including her most recent radio hits âPop Donât Stopâ, âKandy Krushâ and âBirthdayâ.
Her first ever live album âAliens Liveâ showcases Kim Wilde at her best and her love for pop and rock music. The combination of unforgettable classics, best-loved fan favourites and the incredible new songs from âHere Come The Aliensâ make this record one-of-a-kind.
