Now & Forever (Kim Wilde album)

Now & Forever is the eighth studio album by British singer Kim Wilde, released in 1995. It marked a departure from her earlier pop and new wave sound, embracing a more contemporary R&B and soul-influenced style. The album was produced by Rick Wake, who had previously worked with artists like Madonna and Mariah Carey.

The album featured collaborations with several well-known songwriters and producers, aiming to reinvent Wilde's sound for the mid-1990s music scene. Notable singles from the album include "Breakin' Away" and "This I Swear," both of which achieved moderate chart success in some European countries.

While Now & Forever showcased Wilde's versatility and willingness to experiment with different genres, it was not a major commercial success compared to her earlier albums. Despite this, it remains a significant entry in her discography, demonstrating her artistic evolution and exploration of new musical directions. The album is often cited by fans as an example of Wilde's ability to adapt to changing musical landscapes and challenge expectations.
