Disco de Kim Wilde: “Come Out and Play”

Album opening track King of the world ->nice Pop-Rock song with very exciting chorus

but one of the highlights is smash hit Lights down low > fantastic uplifting sexy song without trying too hard, brillance of chorus shines trhough to it Real Life-> "I wanna know whats Real love do u feel the same? I save the final

days for you" her voice sounds beautiful, i feel the real Kim Wilde is back -as if Coldplay wrote this song for her.

Greatest Jurney - I was pleasantly surprised on this song- i thought it will be a bit nastalgic duet, but it wasn't -fantastic song -almost they both take you to a nice jurney -9

Hey You - a bit provacative yet playful lyrics " Its Friday night what can i do , i need some fun, my friends are borring - I am gona wait on the corner street for you" -in my opinion is one of her finest work today.

Get OUT --easily of the BEST tracks on the album! Kim's unique and beautiful vocals just hits you with energy and anger, reminds a little bit or Annie's "Sweet Dreams" and Madonna "Ray of Light" i think this could be Kim's masterpiece -hope Sony will release it as Single.

My Wish is Your command & Suicide, rock & pop songs sound like GreenDay on there good day.

Overall if you like Pink, Madonna, Coldplay or GreenDay this album is for you.

If you're a Wilde fan or just discovering her, don't hesitate to grab this, even if you have to spring for the import because no domestic release is anywhere in sight. I've had this for a few months now and unlike "Never Say Never," which I liked, this continues to receive frequent play at home and in the car. A little "tougher" than her pop work but still undeniably Kim, tracks like "Paranoia," "Hey You," "Lights Down Low," and "Suicide" rock. For pop perfection, "Real Life" harkens back to Wilde's more mainstream efforts. One of the best buys I made this year.

I guess one could call it a "comeback" when you make the best album of your career after three decades in the industry. But the fact is, Kim Wilde showed glimpses of this on her last album, 2006's "Never Say Never." On that set, she combined new material with re-recordings of some of her old hits. The album worked surprisingly well, as it introduced newer fans to her older stuff and her longtime fans got to finally hear new stuff. But the energy in those new songs was impressive, as were the amounts of hooks each song packed in.

Four years later, Wilde returns with an even better set of tunes. The sound is similar to "Never Say Never" as she is sticking with more of a pop-rock sound rather than the dance-pop sound she dabbled in during the late 80's and early 90's. These songs are drenched with raw emotion and enthusiasm, and Wilde's smoldering-hot voice has never sounded better. In her earlier years, her energy was a focal point, as it was one of the keys to her success. Back in those days, she struggled to emote at times. That is not the case now. She has found the happy medium, which is perfect for the type of pop music she is creating now, which is kind of like Pat Benatar meets Kylie Minogue.

That's not to suggest that Wilde does not have her own sound; she clearly does. Her voice is unmistakable, and the hooks in her songs take us back to her best hits without sounding exactly like those hits. "Real Life" is a beautiful pop-ballad, while "King of the World" is every bit as catchy as "Kids in America" with repeated listens. Her single "Lights Down Low" is one of the better pop songs to be released all year. Later in the album, "This Paranoia" and "My Wish is Your Command" are both excellent tracks. This thing plays through like a greatest hits compilation. While it may not break much new ground, it does not need to when the songs are this good. An unbelievable effort from an artist who many had considered done after she left the industry for a full decade. I guess if you're going to return, do it with conviction. Great stuff.

...is when your idol starts to lose it.

The songs are the least infectious of anything since Now and Forever, although not totally unbearable to listen to. Unlike Never Say Never, there's nothing here that really grabbed my attention. Worse, the opening bars of the title track made me think she was covering the Depeche Mode song "Personal Jesus."

The really sad part is that her voice is beginning to falter, hence the bulk of the tracks being up-tempo to hide it. It's most apparent on the slow numbers such as "Real Life." The duets are flat-out lousy, and Nik Kershaw's an 80s star who should remain solely in memory. Mostly the tracks were written in Wilde's style during the 80s and they don't fit as well now.

Guess I won't be buying any more of her albums, either.
