Kim Wilde Channels Dark Electronic Pop on New Single ‘Midnight Train’

Pop legend Kim Wilde delighted with her new single Trail of Destruction earlier this year, with the dark and dramatic eighties-inspired anthem showcasing Kim at her very best. The star will deliver her album Closer early next year, but has continued to whet our appetite with another moody slice of electronic pop in the form of additional new track Midnight Train.

The Kids in America icon collaborates with her brother Ricky Wilde on the new single, with the LP also boasting duets with fellow 80s legend Midge Ure and a duet with niece Scarlett Wilde.

Cherry Red who will be releasing the album next year, share: “Closer’ is the follow-up to Kim Wilde’s massively successful 1988 album ‘Close’. While it captures the spirit and style of her earlier work, this new album introduces a modern perspective, blending nostalgic elements with contemporary sounds. Kim Wilde’s signature mix of pop, new wave, and rock—known for its infectious hooks, powerful vocals, and anthemic choruses—remains at the heart of her music, ensuring ‘Closer’ will resonate with both longtime fans and new audiences.”

Kim Wilde – Closer can be pre-ordered from Cherry Red and is due for release January 31st 2025.
