Joining us today is a British pop culture icon whose extraordinary career spans four decades, twenty Top 40 hits, and over 20 million record sales worldwide. As one of the biggest-selling female artists of the 80s and an award-winning horticulturist, she makes the transition between the worlds of music and gardening seem effortless: it’s the legendary Kim Wilde!

In this episode, Kim takes us through her incredible journey—from a shy girl raised in a musical household to a teen being catapulted to global fame with Kids in America, a song that changed everything for her and her family. Here, she reflects on the wild ride of her music career and reveals how stepping away from the spotlight and into gardening in her 30s gave her life a new sense of purpose.

Kim also opens up about balancing fame with family, how she surprised herself with a return to music, and why her new album coming this January feels like a celebration of everything she’s learned along the way. Whether it’s on stage or in the garden, Kim’s story is a masterclass in reinvention, resilience, and staying true to yourself.

Kim’s brand new album, Closer, arrives on 31st January 2025—available to stream or download wherever you get your music.
