Reviews Customer Reviews for Never Say Never Finally, she's back! Rating: I've been a fan since the early days and watched her continued progress with joy. This album keeps the old Kim style but adds the edge from her first albums. Even if you're not a "fan," this is solid, well-produced contemporary pop. Welcome back! You've been missed.
Customer Reviews for Never Say Never Cd Kim gone Wilde--and back to her roots! Rating: It took a decade, but Kim has finally released an album that brings her back to her pop-punk and new wave roots. After a tease of a `new wave' sounding rocker with Nena a few years back, she brings it all home with this album, which is a perfect blend of guitar punk-pop and electro dance tracks, including remakes of many of her classics. Personally, I'd have preferred it be ALL Kim on Kids in America, but it doesn't really hurt the flow of things, and it's cool to have Nena return the duet favor on You Keep Me Hangin On. Here's the balance:
1. Perfect Girl (perfect punk pop, with great rhythm guitar and a sexy girl group melody reminiscent of Kim's classics from the early 80s. My vote for next single with a kick butt electro house mix!!!)
2. You Came (rock remake of her synthdance classic from the late 80s. I prefer the groovenut dance mix on the import CD single. Get it while it's hot!)
3. Together We Belong (slower rocker, great catchy chorus)
4. Forgive Me (crazy sexy synth/electropop dance track)
5. Four Letter Word (was never crazy about the original, but this version, still a downtempo track, is somewhat better)
6. You Keep Me Hangin On (duet with Nena, excellent synthdance update)
7. baby obey me (eek! This sounds like a Red Hot Chilli Peppers song--think "Under the Bridge")
8. Kids In America (so hard for ANYONE to remake this classic, even Kim herself. This duet sounds like something that would have been remade by Hilary Duff for one of her films, the way she remade the Go-Gos)
9. I Fly (major punk-pop rocker)
10. Game Over (another punk-pop rocker)
11. Lost Without You (moody, grungy rocker)
12. View from a Bridge (a speedy electropop dance remake--chorus sounds awkward this fast, but overall, a good modern remake)
13. Maybe I'm Crazy (the most commercial house/dance track on here. Catchy, maybe too catchy)
14. Cambodia (disappointed. Expected more from an Oakenfold mix of this remake. It's a trancy breakbeat mix that sort of takes kim's vocals for granted)
