Kim Wilde Album: “Close”

You could say I bought this album because "the chick looked hot on the cover", but the truth is that when I listened to it, she blew me away! This is an incredible album. My favorite is 'You Came', but really every song is excellent.

Here she sounds much more comfortable with her new dance-pop and adult conptemporary sound than the Hi-NRG sound on the previous album "Another Step". She is in fine voice and the material is above average. My favorites are "You Came" and "Four Letter Word". Get this album for some thoroughly enjoyable music.

This was first and only Kim Wilde CD. I bought it when it first came out. And it totally blew me into another kind emotional reality. "European Soul", "Love's A No", & "Four Letter Word" are my favorite tracks, because they speak so close to the heart. As a young man I felt deeply for the CD. I was very saddened when i lost it. But, now thanks to the internet and CD Archive Sites (by that I mean, sites that actually carry copies of old CDs; unlike Rhap(ahem)) I can have this treasure back. Pick this up, before it's lost forever.
