Here come the aliens

"Sadly, many people seemed to have relegated Wilde unfairly to the status of "one-hit wonder" - just like how they usually do to bands or other artists whom they knew only for their respective hit singles - such as A Flock of Seagulls ("I Ran"), a-ha ("Take on Me"), Debbie Gibson ("Electric Youth"), Martika ("Toy Soldiers"), and Lisa Stansfield ("All Around the World"). What they don't realize is that the derogation is, ironically, a reflection of their own willful ignorance, because there is so much more to the English Pop singer than her well-known single; and that the critics themselves are the ones who are out of the loop and whose knowledge is obsolete or outdated. That then makes them the "one-hit listeners!" Wilde, on the upper hand, has proven again her prolificness, diversity, and relevance with her new musical offering".

"In short this an album which feels locked into the 80's and tries hard to feel modern. It will please Kim Wilde fans no end, especially with it being a brand new album but it could have been so much more without the big production values. It makes it sound dated and that's a shame because it may prevent it from appealing to a younger generation of up and coming music fans".

"Working once again with her brother Ricky -- he produced the whole thing and co-wrote the songs - Wilde is cool and confident, creating a nice hybrid of arena rock and Euro-pop filtered through just a slight prism of New Wave nostalgia. She provides enough callbacks to her pulsating neon salad days to pull in punters, but she and her brother fight against retro signifiers, choosing to operate thoroughly in the present".
