Well you know. I just squeezed all her discography in a few months.. I still have lots to learn. I would never have expected confide in my to have shift her career.. How did it do so if you have the time to explain?
A new record for most tens - twenty six - must mean something.
Picture this. The summer of 1994. Two years with no Kylie. Everyone wondered - where was she? There were rumors of her working with the likes of Lenny Kravitz and Prince, but she was mysteriously quiet.
Then Confide in Me dropped.
It sounded like everything else around it at the time, and nothing else at the moment. Given that it combined almost every genre in the charts - R&B, orchestral pop, middle eastern and trip-hop are the most notable - it fit right in, but was still something completely new for Ms. Minogue. Chuck in one of the best uses of a sample in popular music history (would you have known that it sampled a song by The Doors if I didn't tell you?), and a wonderfully, willfully elusive lyric, and you have a gamechanger in her career.
Not to take away from the song's most vital element - Kylie herself. For the first time she was giving a complex performance, all sly looks and coy gestures, with enough heart underneath to mean something. This was the song that saved her from being just another teenybopper that never came back; it - and she - was clever, sexual, sensual, and in charge. Australia seemed to agree, as her home country sent Confide in Me to the top charts for a month. For the first time in her professional life, Kylie was cool.
It's a very good song, but Kylie's best? Seriously?

What I like the most about Kylie's voice - and this song shows it perfectly - is that her voice can make you melt. It's so soft and gentle to the ears.
Tbh Better the Devil You Know or Can't Get You Out of My Head deserved it
But still happy it's Love at First Sight - one of my 10s
Not can't get you outta my head.. but devil I can agree with.. both great tracks. confide in me is great too!!!!
But LAFS.. YES.. **** YES.. I love it with ALL MY HEART.. I am so happy.. FINALLY a rate goes my way (well for the most part)
Still mad at chocolate though.. should have been top 5
I'm honestly surprised CIM made it so far. LAFS is a good winner, but there are just many better winners is all. It's unexpected though, so I gotta give it up to the voters.
I love how EJQL8 finally gives a song less than a ten and it wins the whole thing.
The third single from the Fever album (and second in North America), Love at First Sight - co-written by Kylie - became the second biggest single released from the album. Not surprising, as it felt classic on first impact - obviously inspired by the post disco house of Daft Punk and Modjo, and the rhythms of Ibiza, but with a charm and true joy that only Kylie could have pulled off. It's no wonder it gave her her fourth US Top 40 hit, her first Grammy nomination, and that it's the song Kylie uses as her encore at almost every tour. It is transcendent.
