would love it if she made the charts here. i do feel like her kate bush moment has gotta arrive at some point stateside, there are just too many killer songs in her back catalog and potentially more to come.

"Say Something" topped my '20 singles list -- what a blast of enthusiasm during peak COVID quarter! But in a rare thing I didn't much at all for the album (I played Róisín Murphy's to death though).

i had a dream a while ago that the kate bush thing happened with 'locomotion', there were zoomers on a see-saw on tik tok.
xp i still get a little choked up by some of the stuff on disco, "i can't stop writing songs about you" in particular

i'm telling you, infinite disco is a *killer* album. think the disco extended mixes album might edge out the original slightly, though i still stick w/listening to the OG release since that's the one i physically possess.
― omar little, Thursday, 18 May 2023 17:40 (one year ago) link
The only tracks that I've had any genuine affection for on each Kylie album since Aphrodite have been their respective lead singles. "Say Something" in particular I just adored; I distinctly remember being brought to tears all of a sudden when watching the Infinite Disco version, which may have in part been a side effect of lockdown-induced mania.
This one feels slightly undercooked (I would like another rehash of the chorus at the end) and all in all is giving me Rita Ora x Imanbek or a lost Inna single. But the sound seems TikTok-friendly to me, so it wouldn't surprise me if it does end up doing something in the charts in the UK at least.
― monotony, Friday, 19 May 2023 01:25 (one year ago) link
feels like it could use an extended mix or another section besides the verse/chorus—2:45 is too short, and that does give it a kind of undercooked feel.
― Michael F Gill, Friday, 19 May 2023 01:41 (one year ago) link
i agree it's a little undercooked. the vocal production is also just odd - beyond whatever manipulation is going on it just sits in a weird place in the mix?
i still really like "dance floor darling" from disco
― ufo, Friday, 19 May 2023 01:47 (one year ago) link
yeah I think the vocal production doesn’t let her personality/warmth seep through as much as it could, it’s a bit cold and robotic/robo-tuned. but i could live with it if there was a middle 8 or if the outro was extended into a longer instrumental section.

As with Padam Padam I can't help but feel this it's quite anonymous. But I don't really mind it.
(Also, as with PP, I can hear the perfect moment for a cool fade-out but then no one does something as playlist-unfriendly as that anymore.)

i actually hear some Grimes in this a bit, there's something about the airiness of it which hits the same sweet spot for me. minus the fascism.

Yeah no I'm being too kind really. I'm not feeling this if I'm being honest with myself. Which I initially wasn't with the last album either.

this isn’t as immediate as Padam Padam was, but feels like it might grow on me (whereas I tired of PP pretty quickly). either way, it’s great - her consistency is incredible
― Roz, Thursday, 31 August 2023 17:23 (one year ago) link
the last one grew on me a lot, though i did like it on first pass. the extended mixes album and Infinite Disco might be the best incarnations of those tracks however. Padam Padam is another which sounds a bit better over time. this one really sounds to me like another possible hit, though who knows?
― omar little, Thursday, 31 August 2023 17:24 (one year ago) link
Among the reasons I admittedly like this is that it sounds like something that won't be a hit circa 2023

I think this one is fantastic (most of the joy of "Padam" to me was in seeing it resonate beyond Kylie's core 2023 audience), but from what I hear, most of the album won't necessarily follow the same icy electro path as these singles. Still very excited for it though.
