Description
By popular demand, Kim’s ninth studio album, 1995’s Now and Forever, is reissued on Cherry Pop. Now and Forever saw Kim and producer brother Ricky move away from the pop-orientated sound of previous albums, towards a more contemporary electronic soul vibe. A hook up with London-based DJ producer and remixer C.J. Mackintosh (M/A/R/R/S, Nasty Rox Inc.) on four of the tracks helped seal the deal on an album that absorbed influences from gospel house, blissed-out dance and de rigeur looped beats. Other writers and contributors included Pam Sheyne, who would go on to co-write ‘Genie In A Bottle’ for Christina Aguilera, and Tony Swain who as one half of Swain and Jolley had helmed R&B-inflected classics for Imagination. Over this captivating new sound bed, the Wildes provided a suite of instantly catchy melodies not least on Now and Forever’s two singles ‘Breakin’ Away’ and ‘This I Swear’.
