Kim Wilde has confirmed plans to revisit her ‘lost’ album from 1998.
The singer recorded the follow-up to ‘95’s ‘Now and Forever’ but the LP was never released, after she stepped back from music to focus on starting a family.
Celebrating the release of her ‘Pop Don’t Stop: Greatest Hits’ box set, out now, Kim took part in a Q&A with fans and opened up on the unreleased music.
When asked about the project, she confirmed: “Yes, it does still exist and there are many great songs on it.
“Will it see the light of day? Well, the album was called ‘The Promise’ and there was a beautiful song on it called The Promise, as well as several other songs.
“I’m hoping that one day it will see the light of day,” confirmed Kim, adding, “There were many fantastic songs also written around the time we wrote the ‘Close’ album.
“Lots of songs I wrote with Tony Swain, who also co-produced the ‘Close’ album with Ricky [Wilde, brother] and myself.
“So, we are thinking of grabbing all of those lost gems and putting them together on some kind of format in the future.”
During the same Q&A, Kim also looked to the future and confirmed she’s preparing to begin work on her 15th album.
“Ricky and I are going to be sitting down very soon,” she teased, “and talking about the new album, which is already a little seedling deep down in our souls.
“So you can be absolutely sure that a new album by Kim Wilde is very much in the pipeline.”
Kim released ‘Here Come The Aliens’, her latest album, in 2018, while her new compilation includes two new tracks: Shine On with Boy George and the Tom Aspaul collaboration You’re My Karma.
