Encyclopedia
Love Moves is the seventh studio album
by Kim Wilde
, released in May 1990.
The album contained six tracks written by Ricki and Kim Wilde and four tracks written by Kim Wilde and Tony Swain. It was produced by Ricki Wilde
.
Promotion began in the spring of 1990 with the release of the single "It's Here
", a track with Spanish guitars.
The album attempted to capitalize on the success of Close
, but although a Top 10 in Scandinavian countries, it failed to sell as strongly as its predecessor. Some critics noted the MOR feel of the album and the use of similar production sounds throughout. It includes guests Jaki Graham
, who contributed backing vocals, and Deon Estus
, playing bass guitar. Wilde herself believed "it was a very strong album, and it was very disappointing that it didn't do well. But it didn't really come as too much of a big surprise, because my career before then had always been very up and down. So it wasn't a complete shock... but it was very disappointing."
This was the first Wilde project to yield no Top 40 releases in the UK ("Time
", the second release, is the lowest charting single in her discography). Five singles in total were released across Europe, with "It's Here" becoming a Top 20 hit in Scandinavian countries and "Can't Get Enough" making a Top 20 entry and long run on the French singles chart.
