Chart Peak: 4
Last.FM
If this post seems a little ill-informed, you can blame the record company; this track has been removed from YouTube at their insistence. Even the Last.FM link above doesn't sound like the original studio version to me. I still have little difficulty in recalling such a radio staple though. 'Kiss Me' is possibly the tweeest track ever to appear on a Now album, both a strength and a weakness. In the wrong mood, this is painfully soppy childish drivel, but to give them their due they do go into the song with a cheery joie de vivre that makes this more likeable than if it came across as a purely commercial move. Leigh Nash sings breezily enough not to suggest that she feels the song to be beneath her, and the production (if you actually get to hear it) has a deft lightness of touch.
The less said about the version of 'There She Goes' that became their only other hit, the better, though.
