Kylie Minogue: Classic or Dud?

yeah agree with that, a lot of this feels like Kylie by-the-numbers to me though it's a very breezy and enjoyable listen.

Apart from the singles, my favourite track is "Hands" - the rapped verses are just on the right side of silly, and the chorus is lovely

Quite taken with 'Hold On To Now' but never got round to checking out the previous two albums.

title track is one of my fave Kylie tracks ever at this point, just sublime stuff imo. the rest of the album is less unpredictable, but still stellar. i imagine this is going to be her biggest US album since Fever, riding the Padam Padam wave, and bolstered by the Vegas residency.

not as good as 'padam padam' but idk it's a jam, crazy catchy

kylie, bebe rexha, tove lo - my oh my

You know I'm here for this.

It's both absolutely crazy and truly excellent imo that she's having such a huge moment in the post pandemic era.

yeah she's in a golden era!

i'm a little bummed that like .. i couldn't really sell a 'kylie night' at the club i dj at, whereas a 'taylor swift night' is almost de rigueur. but idk, it wouldn't hurt to try, right? god i'd have a blast djing a kylie night sheesh.

bebe rexha had that infernally catchy track last summer that went 'i'm good and i'm feeling all right, gonna have the best fuckin night of my life' - this reminds me a little bit of that with its aggressive earworm chorus.

I mean jesus with the right crowd it would be probably the most excellent set one could ever hope to hear. She's got so many ill deep cuts too, feel like any Kylie set should include Fragile, her Moroder collaboration, and most recently Somebody to Love. You don't need my pro tips though I'm sure!

i do, my friend, i do. a big yasss to all of that.

🪩❤️

Sometimes I'll drive my kid crazy by listening to Kylie but he has admitted, "she is definitely a lot better than Taylor Swift"

high five

“I got a hot date with my mistakes”

also the live version of my oh my sounds better (less autotune)

this track is fucking fire, up there with her very best imo

oh wow this is great

i like this quite a bit more than "padam padam"

weird thing where the verse is much better than the chorus though

I like this LOADS more than "Padam Padam". Wow indeed.

Yeah, this is brilliant and so much better than My Oh My.

I know there was talk of doing a Kylie poll on here one day. That would be a blast.

ILM Ballot Polls for 2020 and beyond -- the ordering, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

had to check as was wondering if the next kylie album was going to be a full on blessed madonna production.
which would be great imho.
unfortunately turns out this collab track is for blessed madonnas album and a one off.
so far.

i'm not really sure but this sounds like either an orgy or a k hole on the dance floor, maybe it's both?

"I didn't come to hold up the walls
I’m going deeper, deeper
Six deep in the bathroom stalls
A different creature, yeah
Why walk when you can crawl?"

the lyrics in this are so evocative, just the right amount of darkness and dedication to partying, i feel blessed that she had this rolling around in her at 56 lol. and blessed madonna's production is sublime of course. they're perfect together. an album if it happened could be incredible. as it is i'm just glad we got this one. agree that "my oh my" was weak sauce.

i still like it mind

def one of Kylie's better collabs. absolutely wild that she's 56 btw it's a very difficult proposition to pull off being a pop star of a *certain age* and not look ridiculous but she manages it better than almost anyone else.

I'm not one of those people who obsessively plays new tracks over and over again within a short space of time, but DAMN I am OBSESSED with this. Everything about it - production, lyrics, vibe - feels precision-tooled to be my personal catnip, and the thought of playing it out tomorrow night is a serious thrill; I know exactly where it's going to sit within the set.

(Yeah, it's alright.)

11:59?

i had a vision of playing it right before midnight and then jumping into "100% pure love" by crystal waters

this is so good i love it

The penny's dropped with 100% Pure Love!

Really into it also. It’s a Raye joint, which you can really hear in the middle eight. I think there’s a version with her vocals on it that the Blessed Madonna was playing live. Not sure how Kylie ended up on it exactly but it’s fun to hear her doing something like this.

The lyrics are also very Raye

That one-note chuggy section immediately reminded me of Boris Brejcha: Up Down Jumper, which I always play with the acappella from Texas Hold 'Em on top (get the two together in the right place, and it just sounds wonderful).

Lo and behold, it's the same note, same key, same rhythm, just 5bpm apart. So it's a Beyonce > Kylie mix for me tonight.

the verse sounds very gaga

there is a proper video now:

😎

they were in ibiza a few weeks back, i think that's where a lot of the footage is from?

Played it out tonight, and Oh My God it landed hard, epic scenes etc. The sonics at volume are exquisite.

awesome. yeah it sounds incredible. that sweet spot where it's loud but also deep and clear. i also played it out last night. most people didn't seem to know it yet but it went over well. kylie doesn't really register with my crowd. doja cat on the other hand... the little shits. i kid. kind of.

little tease of "lights camera action" on her insta has me EXCITED, brings to mind gaga x charli.. "tension ii" out 10/18!!!

oh dude i was coming here to post this just now
