Originally released in November 1989, "Wicked" found Sinitta continuing her successful partnership with Stock Aitken Waterman, as well as songwriting herself for the first time and collaborating with Ralf René Maué, Nigel Wright and PWL producers Phil Harding, Ian Curnow and Pete Hammond. "Wicked" features four UK Top 30 singles – the memorable SAW smash "I Don’t Believe In Miracles" and a string of floor-filling disco covers - Maxine Nightingale’s "Right Back Where We Started From", Robert Knight’s "Love On A Mountain Top" and Vanity Fare’s "Hitchin’ A Ride". many of which are previously unreleased or available on CD for the first time. A comprehensive selection of 12" mixes of all five singles appear alongside sought-after extended versions of several other PWL-produced album tracks and the B-sides "I Just Can’t Help It" and "I’m On My Way". Also exclusively featured are previously unheard versions of "How Can This Be Real Love?", a SAW track originally omitted from the album, and the self-penned "Body Shopping", which was mooted for single release in 1990. The extensive booklet also features additional photos, an illustrated discography, full lyrics and new sleeve notes. The daughter of disco diva Miquel Brown, Sinitta made her name on the West End stage and as a one-time member of Hot Gossip before becoming the first artist to be signed by Simon Cowell. After initial success on the club scene, her chart breakthrough came with the million-selling 1986 Hi-NRG smash "So Macho" which was followed by "Toy Boy", the first of four Sinitta singles produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. Accompanied by a 2CD Deluxe Edition of the debut album, "Sinitta!", "Wicked" is the latest Hit Factory classic be reissued on Cherry Pop, following the success of Sinitta’s "Greatest Hits" CD+DVD and other Cherry Pop releases from Big Fun, Boy Krazy, Hazell Dean, Lonnie Gordon, Haywoode, the London Boys, Mel & Kim, Princess, Mandy Smith and Sonia.
