Album Notes & Community Reviews
After a prolonged absence from recording her own material due to label disputes and stage fright, Kirsty MacColl returned with the stunningly sharp and mature 'Kite'. Featuring guitar work from Johnny Marr and production from her husband Steve Lillywhite, the album balances incredibly clever, acerbic lyricism with warm jangle pop arrangements. Her gorgeous, overdubbed vocal harmonies drive the critically acclaimed masterpiece, highlighted by a definitive cover of The Kinks' 'Days'.
