Teases & Dares ist das vierte Studioalbum und zugleich das erste Album für das neue Plattenlabel MCA. Das Album erscheint kurze Zeit später nach der ersten Single “The Second Time”. Teases & Dares wird weltweit veröffentlicht und erscheint dieses Mal auch in Kanada und USA. Musikalisch bleibt man sich bei den Wilde´s treu. Moderner Rock´n´Roll und gefühlvolle Balladen wechseln sich ab. Zum ersten Mal überhaupt gibt es zwei Songs, für die sich Kim Wilde ausschließlich verantwortlich zeigt und bei denen sie neben ihren gesanglichen Qualitäten auch Songschreiberqualitäten unter Beweis stellt (“Fit In”, “Shangri-La”). Der Albumtitel Teases & Dares ist eine Textzeile aus dem Song “Fit In”.

Aus dem Album Teases & Dares werden insgesamt drei Singles ausgekoppelt. Neben dem dance-poppigen “The Second Time” gibt es mit “The Touch” einen weiteren tollen Popsong. Als dritte und letzte Single wurde passend zur Europatournee “Rage To Love” herausgebracht, stilistisch eher Rockabilly als Pop.

Für den Sammler gibt es wieder unterschiedliche Vinyl- und CD-Ausgaben.

Teases & Dares is the fourth studio album and the first one for the new record label MCA. The album was released short after the first single “The Second Time”. Teases & Dares was an wordlwide release and was also released in Canada and USA. The musical style of the album is again very “Wilde”. Modern pop-songs and modern Rock´n´Roll. For the first time ever there are two songs included which were written by Kim Wilde herself (“Fit In”, “Shangri-La”). The album title is from the lyrics of “Fit In”.

Three singles were relased from Teases & Dares. “The Second Time”, a modern dance-pop orientated song. “The Touch” is a pure pop song and the last release was the rockabilly song “Rage To Love” which was released in 1985 when Kim Wilde did her “Rage To Rock”-tour.

For collectors there a many various vinyl and cd pressings.
