Artist: kim wilde

As I opt to periodically do - when I have no other viable or unviable ideas - it's time to pull up an old Billboard magazine Hot 100 chart and note the songs that debuted that week. I nicked the concept from Chris at 702s Music Mayhem who uses the format with far greater attention to detail as he works his way through the '70s. The first few years of the '80s was when pop radio provided much of the music for me and Casey Kasem's [...]

Memorial Day is next Monday (May 28), and while most of us are just stoked to get the day off work, the holiday is actually intended to honor the good men and women who've fallen in battle, in service to the United States. To pay tribute to them, and to keep your Memorial Day barbeque poppin', we've compiled a list of 12 patriotic songs that are so the opposite of those downer tracks that usually come to mind when someone says "patriotic songs." Nope, there are no amber waves of grain and definitely no "Born In The USA" [...]

Photo Credit: Sofia Stolpe Last week, The Tallest Man on Earth took a break from recording his next LP by stepping out under his given name of Kristian Matsson to perform a pair of cover songs on Swedish game show På Spåret . Now his musical partner (and perhaps wife, considering her hyphenated last name in the introduction), Amanda Bergman , has also made an appearance on the show to promote the duo's forthcoming soundtrack for the film Once A Year . In keeping [...]

Everyone's heard 'Because the Night,' but whose song is it? Here we look at some of its famous and not-so-famous covers.

It was during this week in 1982, that I graduated from grade school. I'm not sure if it was because of our small town's agrairian past - when not everyone went on to high school - or if it was the chance to inject excitement into the sleepy hum of daily life, but the event was treated with considerable pomp and circumstance. As a kid that, like a lot of kids, had no use for formalities, I thought most of it was an inconvenient hullabaloo. But there was an upside to losing a [...]

KIM WILDE - KIDS IN AMERICA (808'S EXTENDED RETROMIX) (4SHARED link due to server limitations) Hi Everybody! I got a recent remix by American DJ 808 Pyrithea for you today. It's the 1981 single Kids In America by British singer Kim Wilde . You can find the original version of this track on her selftitled debut album Kim Wilde . DJ 808 Pyrithea [...]

And once again, another classic New Wave track which sadly never got the extended 12" mix treatment. This is probably Kim Wilde's signature track, and indeed became a New Wave anthem. Even today, this track sends chills up my spine. I may be mistaken, but apart from an Ultrasound (UltraTraxx?) extended version, there has been no true extended remix done of this track. There was a dance mix made of this in 1994, but I saw it as sacrilege. They took this track and tried to make a techno-dance number [...]

Was anyone not obsessed with Kim Wilde's 1987 hit, Keep Me Hangin' On ? I know that my brother was pretty fond of the video , and to this day, I still get excited every time I hear those opening twinkling chords. But now, we find ourselves 23 years older and wiser and ready for more Ms. Wilde, now that she has a brand new single and accompanying video out. Shall we return to our obsessions? Your call... Lights Down Low [...]

• Kim Wilde - Lights Down Low

Always had a crush on Kim Wilde - and always will. And I'm happy to say that her comeback single is as brilliant as one could've only hoped. Without further ado, here's "Lights down low" with my fave überbabe of all times. Enjoy.

LEELOU Today's post feels like it could have simply been another update in a series of articles focussed on electro pop female solo artists on this blog. Everyone knows that there's been a lengthy queue of talented women carving out successful solo careers in the UK in recent years and Leelou fits so naturally into that family tree that her career could have been written on a napkin 12 months ago following the success of Marina & The Diamonds, Florence & The Machine, etc. However, this is no contrived creation, like some Simon Cowell factory line, [...]

Kim Wilde , one of my (many) childhood idols, is following up her 2006 comeback by releasing the new album Come Out And Play on August 27. First single "Lights Down Low" (with B-side "Snakes and Ladders") came out a few days ago and is very much in the same vein as on her '06 album, Never Say Never : cheesy glorious European pop. So yeah, totally a guilty pleasure but whatever. The tracklisting for Come Out And Play is as follows: 1. King Of The World 2. Lights Down Low [...]

• Feeling B - Kim Wilde

The incomparable British club queen Kim Wilde is BACK with a vengeance on her new single " Lights Down Low " (via Pop In Stereo ). The single will be the first off her upcoming eleventh studio album, Come Out and Play , due out in Germany August 27th on EMI . Fun, high energy dance pop is what Wilde is known for and she DELIVERS that and then some with the new single. It's hard [...]
