Kim Wilde has blazed a trail ever since she made her debut with the indelible ‘Kids in America’ back in 1981, becoming the most charted British female artist of the 80s with a string of smashes around the globe. A perennial pop icon, Kim will release her 15th studio album, Closer, in 2025.
By popular demand, Kim’s ninth studio album, 1995’s Now & Forever, is given a deluxe 3CD+DVD reissue on Cherry Pop, comprehensively expanded with bonus tracks, remixes, videos and BBC TV performances for the very first time.
Now & Forever includes the hits ‘Breakin’ Away’ and ‘This I Swear’ plus the club favourite ‘Heaven’. Finding Kim exploring a more soulful and vibey set of grooves in collaboration with brother Ricky and club mainstays CJ Mackintosh and Nomad, it was the last album released under Kim’s longtime contract with MCA. This deluxe edition also features 1994’s reimagining of ‘Kids in America’ and Kim’s final standalone single on MCA, her 1996 cover of Evelyn Champagne King’s ‘Shame’.
Packaged in a stunning fold-out digifile with a 24-page booklet, this edition features new sleeve notes, discography, additional images from Kim’s personal collection and full lyrics. Coinciding with corresponding packages for Kim’s preceding albums, Love Moves and Love Is, this is an essential purchase for her army of fans.
