KIM WILDE
The sixth full-length studio album by legendary British Synth-Pop singer.
The final album on which Marty Wilde had co-writer credits. The album is widely perceived by fans and critics (and Kim herself) as Wilde's most well-balanced, with many kinds of Pop represented: Dance, Ballad, Rock and Midtempo.
The album's lead Single was "Hey Mister Heartache", featuring backing vocals from Junior Giscombe – but its success was dwarfed by the follow-up Single, "You Came", which hit the Top 10 in many countries and just missed the US Top 40.
"Never Trust a Stranger" and "Four Letter Word" also reached the UK Top 10, although a fifth Single, "Love in the Natural Way", was less successful. Attention for the album was bolstered by Kim's support slot on Michael Jackson's European tour.
"Close" reached the Top 10 in the UK, almost all Scandinavian countries, Austria and Germany and went on to become Wilde's biggest selling album, being certified Platinum in the UK. In Australia, the album was less successful, peaking at #82 on the ARIA albums chart.
