Description

Kim Wildes third studio album Teases & Dares marks a bold leap into sleek synthpop territory, blending icy textures with emotional punch. Released in 1984, it showcases Wildes evolution from punktinged pop to polished new wave, with standout tracks like Rage to Love coproduced by Reinhold Mack (Queen, ELO).

The album features songwriting from the Wilde family trio Kim, Ricki, and Marty and includes dramatic ballads, futuristic themes, and clubready hooks. This Canadian MCA pressing sports vivid rainbow label art and captures the glossy production and vocal clarity that defined Wildes mid80s sound.
