On this day May 8, 1989, Kirsty MacColl released her second studio album Kite. Blending sharp songwriting, jangly pop, and clever social commentary, the album showcased her unique voice and lyrical wit. It featured standout tracks like Free World, Days, and What Do Pretty Girls Do.
Kite reached number 34 on the UK charts and helped reestablish MacColl as a solo artist after years of label challenges. It received critical praise and has since been regarded as one of her strongest and most personal works.
Fun fact: The song Days was a cover of a Kinks classic and became one of her most beloved hits, reaching the UK Top 20.
