Earlier this year, Kim’s brother and producer Ricky Wilde spoke exclusively to Retro Pop about the new Greatest Hits collection, and shared details about the new collaborations with Boy George and Tom Aspaul.
He revealed: “There will be a few new tracks on the Greatest Hits. We’ve got two duets. One of them is Boy George. He’s guested on a track that Kimmy and I wrote with Fredrik Thomander in Italy.
“It’s a beautiful track and I really look forward to hearing everybody’s reactions on that.
“There’s another track that we’ve got on the album that we’re doing with a new guy singer called Tom Aspaul,” added Ricky. “Tom is going to be guesting on one of the other tracks, which has a kind of George Michael vibe to it.
“So it’s exciting times, we’re still working with great people and still doing wonderful things.”
