Who does not know them; the new New Wave hits with which
Kim Wilde stormed European hit parades in the ’80s? Her debut ‘
Kids in America’ immediately became an international success in 1981, followed by top songs like ‘
Cambodia’, ‘
View From a Bridge’ and ‘
Never Trust A Stranger’. She has sold no less than 30 million albums and singles and more than thirty years after her debut, her career has a ‘second youth’
Kim Wilde lives up to her name, her songs are sometimes a tad rough, but at the same time sensitive, by the contagiously melancholic customer of her voice. Rock with a twist that got the title New Wave in the early 90s. A style that was well received by the international pop audience. In 1983 she was named the best English singer at the English BPI Award.
In the 90s she charged a musical sabbatical and filled her time with motherhood and gardening. But Kim came back and how! In 2003 she scored together with the German singer
Nena the breathtaking bilingual hit ‘
Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime’. Five weeks at number 1 in the Dutch hit parade. That success marked her comeback on stage and in the studio. With ‘
You Came (2006)’ she scored another hit in 2006 and several new songs followed, of which ‘
Here Come The Aliens’ appeared in March last year.
