Editor's note

Eighth Wonder's synth-pop moment with Patsy Kensit

A London band from the 1980s best known for 'I'm Not Scared' and their actress-fronted image.

If you're going to hear one thing, it's 'I'm Not Scared.' For a second listen, try 'Cross My Heart' to get more of their sound.

They had one of those mid-80s synth-pop hits that still gets played, 'I'm Not Scared,' with Patsy Kensit's voice cutting through the arrangement. The song became their calling card, and their other tracks like 'Cross My Heart' and 'Baby Baby' filled out a specific moment in UK pop. Their image, Kensit's stage presence especially, got talked about as much as the music sometimes, which says something about how they were received.

They formed in London in 1983 with Kensit, Lyndon Scarfe, and Steve Wickham. 'I'm Not Scared' broke through in 1985, and lineup changes happened around Kensit, who stayed through it all.

Archive material and source history

Eighth Wonder formed in London in 1983 with Patsy Kensit, Lyndon Scarfe, and Steve Wickham. Kensit, who was already working as an actress, became the band's lead vocalist. Their 1985 single 'I'm Not Scared' became their breakthrough hit, with Kensit's voice and the song's synth-pop arrangement catching attention.

Beyond 'I'm Not Scared,' the group recorded songs like 'Cross My Heart' and 'Baby Baby.' Their image, particularly Kensit's stage presence, sometimes drew criticism while also defining their public profile. The band experienced lineup changes during their active years, with Kensit remaining a consistent figure through those shifts.
