Uhh, Kylie's song with Giorgio Moroder is so good: http://www.sopitas.com/site/433045-escucha-la-colaboracion-de-giorgio-moroder-y-kylie-minogue-right-here-right-now/

Also that collaborative EP she released with Fernando Garibay towards the end of last year was a nice change of pace for her.

The chorus makes this sound like it could've been on Rhythm of Love or Let's Get To It.

Greer, Friday, 16 January 2015 22:25 (ten years ago)

An entire Kylie/Giorgio album, por favor.

Tay-Tay Brooklynpants (Murgatroid), Friday, 16 January 2015 22:33 (ten years ago)

yea sounds p good

I just checked in to second the opinion that the Moroder feat. Kylie song is great. Has a video too https://youtu.be/6gZ-11-kOSQ. Also, it has a funny relation to this post:

Dear Giorgio Moroder,

Are you familiar with Kylie Minogue?

Yours,
Nate

this is alright, a bit by the numbers. but i have faith in the album being better even though the last one sort of ended her full-length winning streak for me.

omar little, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:23 (seven years ago)

you don't love anything alfred

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:27 (seven years ago)

the song is nice if a bit slight - "I wanna go out dancing" feels a bit obvious in concept for Kylie and it's not exceptional enough to overcome that. The video is awful though, it looks so cheap.

I was in a nightclub last week doing a Kylie-themed night and I can confirm that "Slow", "Get Out Of My Way" and "Love At First Sight" still all sound incredible in different ways on the dancefloor.

boxedjoy, Saturday, 3 February 2018 10:29 (seven years ago)

i've been rising slow lately, the synths are incredible...

meaulnes, Saturday, 3 February 2018 16:56 (seven years ago)

Slow sounds better to me as time goes by. I liked it at the time, but it always seemed too slight to really grip me. Now it sounds like a classic. I got the 12" last year and played it over and over. It's perfect.

The video for Dancing has really elevated the song even though it really doesn't look like there was much of a budget at all. The clapping/finger snap combo leading up to the chorus is so great. She really sells it well. Shame there's absolutely no chance of this becoming a hit.

kitchen person, Saturday, 3 February 2018 17:44 (seven years ago)

I mentioned to VegGrrl on fb that deep at the heart of this song there's a bit of Olivia Newton John, which is neither here nor there, but it makes me like it just a smidge more.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 3 February 2018 18:19 (seven years ago)

Slow is one of the best pop songs ever, the new one isn't.
it pains me to say it as a kylie fanboy, but its rather generic.

mark e, Saturday, 3 February 2018 19:10 (seven years ago)

i really like it!!!
that being said i do think it needs a bit more of...something for the chorus. the first verse feels like it’s building to something that never quite arrives
maybe a dance remix would help beef it up

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 3 February 2018 19:15 (seven years ago)

yeah chorus doesn't deliver, verse sounds like Miley

but what is up with these over-compressed vocals, sounds terrible!

niels, Saturday, 3 February 2018 19:46 (seven years ago)

I was gonna mention the Olivia Newton-John lilt to her voice but I thought maybe I was just imaginging it myself, its definitely there though

ooh i like!! the loop reminds me of Chaka Khan’s Aint Nobody (or maybe it is a direct sample?)
either way, here for it

Her guest spot on Tove Lo's "Really don’t like u" is fun. A favorite track from last year.

So I'm probably the last person to learn this, but apparently she's not singing "shocked" here at 1'12, 2'00 and 2'46:

Nice list Alfred. Nice to see you mention the quality of some of her albums. Body Language, X and Aphrodite are all pretty underrated.

Would be great to see a Kylie poll on here one day.

i've been wanting to run one for ages

maybe in a few months

That would be awesome!

The new song "Magic" reminded me of another recent song I couldn't put my finger on until I read the YouTube comments and realized it was Katy Perry's "Chained to the Rhythm"

anyway it's not bad or anything but the similarity is a bit too much for me tbh

self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Thursday, 24 September 2020 11:34 (four years ago)

guess it's for the best that i struggle to remember what "chained to the rhythm" was like

think this is another great one

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 25 September 2020 15:48 (four years ago)

definitely not too similar to 'chained to the rhythm' for me. one thing about that song is that the lyrics sucked while these lyrics are great. i love everything about the new song. i loved 'say something' too. lol i didn't expect to like new kylie especially this year but like she is so so good at the highest form of generic disco pop it makes me want to cry.

wrt the katie perry song it represents a type of major-hit pop song that wants to look like it 'has something to say' but really just makes a virtue out of submission to the powers that be - i gag at that sort of thing. with these new kylie songs she just sounds so refreshed and focused on this goal of achieving pure dance pop transcendence it bowls me over completely. i'm buying it all lol. i didn't like 'golden' much.

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Friday, 25 September 2020 17:27 (four years ago)

she looks SO GOOD in that blue dress
