Demon is a UK 80s New Wave label that was founded by Elvis Costello, Andrew Lauder, and the company behind the label in 1980. In 1998, the label was acquired by Music Collection International and merged with its Westside Records operation. Today, Demon forms part of the Demon Music Group Ltd.

Kirsty MacColl was a singer-songwriter from England, UK. Born on October 10, 1959 in Croydon, South London, she began her music career as part of the band The Drug Addix before going solo. In 1981, she achieved success with her hit single "There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis". Kirsty married producer Steve Lillywhite in 1984 and they had two children together. Tragically, Kirsty passed away in December 2000 while swimming with her children in Cozumel, Mexico.

Despite her untimely death, Kirsty's legacy lives on through her music. Her album "Tropical Brainstorm" was released posthumously in early 2001. Known for her unique style that blended folk and pop influences, Kirsty's songs continue to captivate audiences around the world.

If you enjoy artists such as Voice Of The Beehive, The Beautiful South or Tracey Ullman, then you'll definitely appreciate Kirsty MacColl's musical talent. With heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies, she has left an indelible mark on the music industry.

Kite was Kirsty MacColl’s breakthrough second album and her first released on Virgin Records. Originally released in 1989 the album peaked at number 34 in the UK charts. The album includes the Top 20 hit single ‘Days’ a cover of The Kinks song, and also includes two tracks written with Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.
