WILDE,KIM - Wilde Winter Songbook (Deluxe) (Sealed) (2CD)

Deluxe edition of WIlde?s Winter Songbook. As its title suggests, "Wilde winter songbook" is more of a winter album than exclusively a festive one. Consisting mostly of new compositions, as well as some Christmas classics and cover versions, it is a mellow, touching holiday record, standing out from many similar projects which seem calculated and tend to showcase predictable song selections and corny cliches. Kim Wilde's captures the melancholy and cheerfulness of the season, evoking sentiments of affection and hope, as genuine as her intentions to create a loving product like this. Co-writer in most of the new songs, makes this a personal experience for her to share with her audience. Through a mix of melodic ballads and poppy songs, with her relaxed and confident vocals fitting perfectly to each song, she is finely balancing the reflective with the fun, the old with the new, presenting an unexpectedly different side to the popstar that most have in mind. Very much like her memorable performance from 3 years ago, where she was videotaped with mobile phones singing her hit "Kids in America" and "Rockin' around the Christmas tree" on the tube carriage while wearing reindeer antlers and looking a little intoxicated
