Fans of 1980s music will be interested to hear that one of the icons of the decade, Kim Wilde, is this week releasing her first new album in 37 years. Closer features ten new tracks and (it sez‘ere) blends nostalgic elements with contemporary sounds to offer infectious hooks, powerful vocals and anthemic choruses. One of the tracks will feature fellow ’80s icon, Midge Ure, on vocals. As long as Kim performs ‘Kids in America’ while she’s touring the new album, audiences will be happy.
