It's Here

"It's Here" is a song by English singer-songwriter Kim Wilde, released as the first single from her seventh album, Love Moves (1990), and is also her first release of the new decade. "It's Here" became a moderate hit in some countries. Both the single and its B-side, "Virtual World" (an exclusive non-album track) were extended for the 12-inch and CD formats.

Critical reception Bob Stanley from Melody Maker commented, "It's here! It's Kim! It's springy and sounds a little like Kirsty MacColl with a lively electro backing and a smart bit of Spanish guitar midway through! It's surprisingly listenable!" A reviewer from Music & Media said, "The perfect combination. A mellow, melancholic tune, a committed vocal delivery and a good dance groove rapped up in a slick production." David Giles from Music Week wrote, "Wilde takes a leaf out of the Sydney Youngblood book, blending a splash of flamenco guitar against a bold dance rhythm. Considerably stronger than her other recent singles with a powerful chorus and an expansive production job." Stuart Maconie from NME said, "Some nice synthesiser tinkles appealed to my frankly mid-'80s sensibilities. Some strangulated vocal effects, however, suggests that Kim may want to be regarded as a serious artist in her own right."
