Kim about ‘Stereo shot’
‘Stereo shot’ was written by my brother Ricky Wilde, and his daughter Scarlett Wilde, who also did the artwork for the album. Scarlett’s had a massive input on this project and I’m so happy that she has. She wrote this song inspired by the power and the magic of production. The song really talks a lot about the way that sounds make you feel. I loved the song when she played it to me. (Track by track video, YouTube, 15 March 2018)

Lyrics
Oh my god it’s system overload.
Exceed yourself you’ll crash ’til you implode.
Transmission of a new vibration sounds.
No limitations drag you underground.
Pleasure, Pleasure, Pleasure,
Building the pressure, ’til you explode..
Stereo Shot like a gun,
Once fired it’s outta control,
The danger is half the fun.
Stereo Shot like a gun,
Inject me straight to your soul,
And into your world, oh oh..
Oh My God it’s system overload.
Intoxicate your taste for radio.
Remission of the waves as they resound.
With pure addiction feed your kicks for sound.
Pleasure, Pleasure, Pleasure,
Building the pressure, ’til you explode..
Pleasure, Pleasure.
Remission of the waves as they resound,
Pleasure, Pleasure, Pleasure.
Feed your kicks for sound..
