Review - :
There's no doubt many heard {$Kim Wilde} searching for the beat on {&"Kids in America,"} but know now that she finds it -- thus, the rest of this sterling debut comes dangerously close in quality to that killer kickoff. The second cut, {&"Water on Glass,"} follows the sound from the wild streets to {$Wilde}'s brain, maintaining a high level of exuberant class. Weird staccato runs down the streets of {&"Our Town,"} while {&"Everything We Know"} chills into an icy groove. {$Wilde} only wants to be free in {&"Young Heroes,"} and by side two's single, {&"Chequered Love,"} she gives permission to touch her and do anything (surprising, considering her pro-{\pop} dad and brother wrote the whole LP). Hard guitars and xylophones get physical, until horns and {\ska} skip into {&"2-6-5-8-0"}; by this point in the record, {$Wilde} can pull off anything she wants, and ends up sounding like a {$No Doubt} B-side. {&"You'll Never Be So Wrong"} mellows the turgid tempo but not the precise passion, and she just plain gets upset in {&"Falling Out."} From the womb to the end of {&"Tuning in Turning On,"} {^Kim Wilde} is one excellent inaugural, one excellent chapter in the evolution of {\hi-NRG}, and one excellent slab everyone should own. ~ Doug Stone, All Music Guide
