Midnight train - Kim Wilde

Kim Wilde's latest offering is the second single from her forthcoming album Closer, due out at the end of January. Based on the previous single 'Trail of destruction' and this one, it seems we're looking forward to a corker. 

Still, this single didn't impress me at first - and that's not because of the song, but because of the fact that there was a lot going on in my life when this came out. I only got to play the single about two weeks after it came out (yes, I still don't do digital so I had to wait until this vinyl single arrived!) and I wasn't grabbed right away. Reading through some of the online comments I noticed the same from other people. But I have to say: repeated play absolutely helps this particular song. 

My collection: 7" single no. 7508
Found: Cherry Red website, received 29 November 2024
Tracks: 'Midnight train' / 'Midnight train (instrumental)'
