Send us Fan MailSome songs don’t just soundtrack an era… they help define it. In the latest episode of The MarshyCast, I caught up with 90s dance icon Kym Sims to talk about her legendary hit Too Blind To See It and why she felt now was the right moment to release a brand new 2026 version. We went right back to the beginning of the story, discussing how the track was originally recorded in Chicago and how that American house music influence helped shape its sound long before it exploded in UK clubs and charts. Kym also shared how her early background as a jingle singer unexpectedly became perfect training for recording dance music. The precision, hooks and vocal control needed for commercial work all played a role in helping create one of the era’s most recognisable dance records. Naturally, we also had to talk about Top of the Pops. Kym reflected on what she remembers from performing on one of the UK’s most iconic music programmes during the height of the dance boom. Perhaps the most fascinating part of the conversation, though, was hearing how Too Blind To See It arrived during a turning point in British club culture. Kym spoke about how the song helped bridge the shift from the rave scene into the more house-driven sound that would dominate clubs throughout the 90s. It’s a conversation packed with nostalgia, music history and the story behind a track that still fills dancefloors decades later. 🎧 You can hear the full conversation now on The MarshyCast, available on Apple, Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.
