Pop royalty **Kim Wilde** dropped her fifteenth studio album and first album in 7 years (*Here Come the Aliens* came out in 2018) on Friday, and it’s called *Closer* via **Cherry Red Records** and is basically the sister to Kim’s hugely successful 1988 (the year I was born hehe) album *Close* which my mum had on vinyl and gave to me!

*Closer* captures the spirit and style of Kim’s earlier work but also introduces a modern perspective, blending nostalgic elements with contemporary sounds. Kim’s signature mix of pop, new wave, and rock—known for its infectious hooks, powerful vocals, and anthemic choruses—remains at the heart of her music, ensuring *Closer* will resonate with both longtime fans and new audiences.

Kim Wilde, who rose to fame with timeless hits like *Kids in America*, *You Keep Me Hangin’ On*, and *Cambodia*, continues to evolve her sound while maintaining the energy and edge that defined her career in the 1980s. *Closer* is a testament to her enduring appeal and musical innovation. 

Kim will be going on tour with European and Australian dates included this year and a full UK tour in March too!

Also she dropped by Brighton last night too at [**Resident**](https://www.resident-music.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk) (Brighton’s best independent record shop in the vibrant north laine area if you didn’t know) for a meet and greet and signing and she was lovely-I knew she would be!
