In 1996 Kim released 'Shame', a cover of the disco song made famous by Evelyn 'Champagne' King, but the song failed to dent the UK top 100.

In 2001 to celebrate the realse of another Greatest Hits album Kim released a new song 'Loved', co-written by Ronald & Masterton who are famous for their work with Dannii Minogue.

Kim is still making music and is also equally famous for her gardening skills. She continues to have success in Europe and had a huge hit in 2003 with 'Anyplace Anywhere Anytime', a duet with Nena.

In late 2006, Kim has released new studio album. The album includes new tracks such as 'Perfect Girl', 'Forgive me' and 'Together We Belong', and some remixes and remakes of classic Kim songs such as 'You Came', 'Cambodia' and 'Kids In America'. Also for the new album - called 'Never Say Never' - Kim has re-recorded 'You Keep Me Hangin' On' as a duet with Nena. Another duet she did with Nena was for the song Anyplace,anywhere,anytime in 2003 when Nena re-recorded her famous 8o-ies song Irgendwie,irgendwann,irgendwo.
