NEW Kim Wilde thread: Pop Don't Stop greatest hits tour, vinyl, DVD etc.

[Cerro de Casa]

The multiculturalism of the This I Swear video.
Ugh Queen.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Now & Forever is another underrated album.

 

[Sheena]

Oh but you must! The box set is essential and a Cherry Records masterpiece.
There's even a Q&A with Kim Wilde in the booklet.

Most of which wasn’t replicated in the vinyl.

But I would never play it…

 

[Sheena]

I've thrown the Pop Don't Stop vinyl on this morning after this thread and I know it's been said before, but fuck me, LOVE IS HOLY really is TRANSCENDENT.

I often (as in, every time I play Love Is Holy) wonder Belinda made of it all

Didn't she say at the time she thought it was, basically, REDUCTIVE?

Despite absolutely adoring and scoring Catch As Catch Can as her highest price tag, I've never thought much of Love Blonde at all. Until now that is as suddenly I can't get enough of Kim's Love Blonde.

 

[Sheena]

Love Blonde is great- it just didn’t fit with anything else on Catch and so often gets dismissed, I feel.

Kim looking radiant, just like she's back from a lovely holiday (apologies for Dan Walker content):

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh she looks just wonderful there. Can't wait to see her!

 

[VoR]

 

[Christian]

That's sad. They met working on "Tommy" in 95/96, so they must have been married for 25 years or so.

 

[Sheena]

He Went.

 

[Sheena]

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Yes, it's terribly sad, but seems to be amicable. Let's hope there's a divorce album and a toy boy on the horizon.

 

[straightorbroken]

Genuinely read that statement as no 3rd party lover. Oh Kim though <3

 

[FetchFugly]

Ricky Wilde reliving his popstar youth in a duo with Nina. Includes a Dollar cover as well as Lovers on a Beach by Dame Kim:



It is a decent cover, though Nina can't help but sound a bit of a blank slate by comparison to Kim's more emotive performance.

 

[FetchFugly]

Kim features on backing vocals on this:



I wonder if we'll get new material from Kim this year. The mooted unreleased album doesn't seem to have come to anything.

Holiday Sidewinder supported Sophie when I saw her last year, and I rather enjoyed her, so I was intrigued when I saw Kim had a feature on her new single. But they really are only backing vocals, and not particularly prominent ones at that. Song is pretty average, as well.

If only. She’s still touring this year, but no UK dates that I’ve spotted, though she’s bound to do the usual festival circuit I’d have thought.

I think she has toured with Sophie quite a bit.

I was also a little disappointed at Kim's vocal being rather buried but Cliffhanger has grown on me quite a bit.

Her first album is great, and that sound probably suited her vocally a bit more than the new material. She does a good Kokomo too.

 

[straightorbroken]

I like Cliffhanger, but not enough Kim for it to properly take with me.
