"Select" is the second studio album by British pop singer Kim Wilde, released in 1982. Following the success of her debut album and hit singles like "Kids in America," "Select" continued Wilde's exploration of the synth-pop sound prevalent in the early 1980s.
The album features a blend of upbeat, catchy tracks and more introspective, atmospheric songs. Standout tracks include "Cambodia," a haunting ballad with an exotic flair that became one of Wilde's signature songs, and "View from a Bridge," a driving synth-pop anthem.
"Select" received positive reviews from critics and achieved commercial success, reaching the top 20 in several European countries. It solidified Kim Wilde's status as a pop icon of the era and helped establish her as one of the leading female artists in the synth-pop genre.
With its infectious melodies, slick production, and Wilde's charismatic vocals, "Select" remains a fan favorite and a classic of 1980s pop music.
