Introduction
The project
Kim Wilde brings guitars, synthesizers and an assertive vocal delivery together in pop that retains the energy of rock and the imagination of new wave. “Kids in America”, “Cambodia” and “You Came” reveal different sides of that language: urgency, atmosphere and the desire to dance. Her repertoire goes beyond those memories; the album “Closer” continues her recording work and engagement with new songs. For festivals and theatres, the proposition can bring together listeners who have followed her since the early records and those discovering her through her best-known songs. Its appeal lies in that meeting between a recognisable identity and a career that continues to find new ways to express it.
Career
Artistic journey
“Kids in America” introduced Kim Wilde in 1981, at the beginning of a musical collaboration with her brother Ricky and father Marty. In 1983, she received the BRIT Award for British Female Solo Artist. Songs such as “Cambodia”, “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” and “You Came” revealed different possibilities in her music, from new wave to dance-pop. The 1988 album “Close” became a reference point revisited in “Closer”, released by Cherry Red in 2025. The record includes “Trail of Destruction”, “Midnight Train” and “Sorrow Replaced”, featuring Midge Ure. Across albums and concerts with a band, that continuity places the early hits within a broader body of work, in which guitars, electronics and vocal performance remain in constant dialogue.
