Released in 1984, Teases & Dares was Kim Wilde’s first album for MCA. “The Second Time” and “The Touch” place her voice inside polished electronic pop, while “Fit In” and “Shangri-La” mark her first sole songwriting credits. Wilde also shares production credit with Marty and Ricky Wilde. This picture-disc edition revisits an important step toward the sound of her later international hits.
