Love In The Natural Way
"Love in the Natural Way" is the fifth and final single from '' Close'', the best-selling album by Kim Wilde. Issued in the UK and Germany in early 1989 on 7", 12" and CD-single (the latter two also containing an extended version of the track), it did not match the success of the other singles from that album the previous year. This was Wilde's final release of the 1980s, the decade in which she had become the biggest selling British female soloist. Critical reception Tony Parsons left rough negative review on a single for ''New Musical Express'' by saying that "all those songs written with her dad and brother oozing shallow emotion".

Songs Written By Ricky Wilde
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers fo ...

Melody Maker
''Melody Maker'' was a British weekly music magazine, one of the world's earliest music weeklies; according to its publisher, IPC Media, the earliest. It was founded in 1926, largely as a magazine for dance band musicians, by Leicester-born composer, publisher Lawrence Wright; the first editor was Edgar Jackson. In January 2001, it was merged into "long-standing rival" (and IPC Media sister publication) ''New Musical Express''. 1950s–1960s Originally the ''Melody Maker'' (''MM'') concentrated on jazz, and had Max Jones, one of the leading British proselytizers for that music, on its staff for many years. It was slow to cover rock and roll and lost ground to the ''New Musical Express'' (''NME''), which had begun in 1952. ''MM'' launched its own weekly singles chart (a top 20) on 7 April 1956, and an LPs charts in November 1958, two years after the ''Record Mirror'' had published the first UK Albums Chart. From 1964, the paper led its rival publications in terms of approac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It's Here
"It's Here" is a song by English singer-songwriter Kim Wilde, released as the first single from her seventh album, '' Love Moves'' (1990), and is also her first release of the new decade. Wilde was the most charted and biggest-selling British female soloist of the 1980s, and had ended that decade with the release of her biggest-selling album, ''Close'', and its accompanying string of hit singles. Although the new single and album did not match that success, "It's Here" became a moderate hit in some countries. Both the single and its B-side, "Virtual World" (an exclusive non-album track) were extended for the 12" and CD-single formats. Critical reception Bob Stanley from '' Melody Maker'' commented, "It's here! It's Kim! It's springy and sounds a little like Kirsty MacColl with a lively electro backing and a smart bit of Spanish guitar midway through! It's surprisingly listenable!" A reviewer from '' Music & Media'' said, "The perfect combination. A mellow, melancholic tune, a c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Close (Kim Wilde Album)
''Close'' is the sixth studio album by Kim Wilde, released in mid 1988. Produced by Ricky Wilde and Tony Swain, ''Close'' was the final album on which Marty Wilde had co-writer credits. The album is widely perceived by fans and critics (and Kim herself) as Wilde's most well-balanced, with many kinds of pop represented: dance, ballad, rock and midtempo. The album's lead single was " Hey Mister Heartache", featuring backing vocals from Junior Giscombe – but its success was dwarfed by the follow-up single, "You Came", which hit the Top 10 in many countries and just missed the US Top 40. "Never Trust a Stranger" and " Four Letter Word" also reached the UK Top 10, although a fifth single " Love in the Natural Way" was less successful. Attention for the album was bolstered by Kim's support slot on Michael Jackson's European tour. ''Close'' reached the Top 10 in the UK, almost all Scandinavian countries, Austria and Germany and went on to become Wilde's biggest selling album, bei ...
