1981 Singles # 25 Kim Wilde

 


Kim Wilde's debut record and the only one she ever made that I'd say was necessary in any way. Sure it's completely phoney. Kim's not remotely edgy even though she's pretending to be. Nor is she remotely street or remotely New Wave.The band are not her gang. They're just session musicians. This is totally fabricated from start to finish. The whole thing is nicked quite unashamedly lock, stock and barrel from Blondie's Parallel Lines routine. But the tune is great, its momentum is full on.
