Kite

This was the breakthrough studio album from Kirsty, produced by then husband Steve Lillywhite. Kite is packed with vibrant guitar driven hooks and Kirsty's trademark wit and passion. If it appears to tail off in the second half it is only because it opens so brilliantly. A masterpiece.

Reviews: "Kirsty MacColl can not only write a mean pop tune but can fling the verbal vitriol with the best of them." Q
