Part 1: Al.Hy

Kim Wilde stormed the music scene in 1981 with her global hit "Kids In America." It marked the beginning of an impressive career that has sold over 30 million records and 15 albums, including some of the most iconic hits of the 80s such as "Chequered Love,"

"Cambodia" and "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (number one in the United States). Two years later, Kim was voted Best British Female Vocalist at the BPI Awards in 1983, she also accompanied Michael Jackson on his "Bad" tour in Europe and also shared the stage with David Bowie on his "Greatest Hits" tour in 1990.

In the 90s, Kim remained in the spotlight with the albums "Love Moves" and "Love Is," which included singles like "Love Is Holy" and her cover of the Bee Gees classic "If I Can't Have You," from her compilation album "The Singles Collection 1981-1993." After taking a break to get married, start a family, and pursue a passion for gardening, Kim returned to performing in 2001. After several festivals and tours, she signed with EMI in Germany in 2006 and released the album "Never Say Never." The successful album led to Kim and her band performing over 50 shows in 2007.

In August 2021, Kim released her album 'Pop Don't Stop – The Greatest Hits', featuring new single 'Shine On', a duet with Boy George, which reached number one on the UK vinyl chart. In 2022, she will play 60 shows across 11 countries on her 'Greatest Hits' tour. She is extending this tour into 2023 with festivals in Europe and the US, before closing out the year with her acoustic 'Wilde Winter' tour.

This year, Kim is making a strong comeback with her album "Closer" scheduled for January 2025 and a tour in 2026.
