Kite was Kirsty MacColl’s breakthrough second album and her first released on Virgin Records. Originally released in 1989 the album peaked at number 34 in the UK charts. The album includes the Top 20 hit single ‘Days’ a cover of The Kinks song, and also includes two tracks written with Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.
Kite arrived like a bold, glossy statement of intent, full of songs she had written herself and with dear friends like Pete Glenister and Johnny Marr, plus one glistening Kinks cover, which felt like an appropriate choice. In finger-clicking country, Smithsy pop, ballads and modern protest songs, Kirsty was Ray Davies’ natural successor in song writing, observing fame, love and modern life with a sparkling, sensitive eye.
Kite also contains flourishes of what was to come later for Kirsty. Dancing in Limbo hints towards her later work’s Latin flavours. Finale You And Me Baby prefigures the glorious soundworld of 1993’s Titanic Days. Throughout the album, there is a confidence that bristles and burns, the sound of a woman finally seizing the day and having her time.
