Quote:
08‘I Was Gonna Cancel’
It’s: the Pharrell one. An album track, but a good one.
The best bit is: ”HEY!” (and the line about the shovel).
Kylie Moment? Not yet.
07‘Sleeping With The Enemy’
It’s: a bonus track that kicks off like ‘Unfinished Sympathy’, moves forward with slight hints of Pet Shop Boys’ ‘Behaviour’ album, and while not making the earth shake ends up feeling like a rather splendid addition to the Minogue ‘oeuvre’.
The best bit is: the ”It’s like I don’t know who you are…” bit.
Kylie Moment? The big payoff at the end of the chorus – “suddenly now it seems, I’m sleeping with the enemy” – is pretty close to a Kylie moment.
06‘Million Miles’
It’s: an upbeat one about bodies going weak when they are touched.
The best bit is: ”I feel so in-vi-si-ble…”
Kylie Moment? No big ones here we’re afraid.
05‘Les Sex’
It’s: ridiculous and amazing. You’ve probably seen the clips from the Old Blue Last show by now, but if you haven’t here’s one.
The best bit is: ”We could call it I don’t care.”
Kylie Moment? This is a great tune, and it’s hard to imagine anyone else pulling it off, but there are no true Kylie Moments on offer.
04‘Into The Blue’
It’s: the first single, and probably the best choice of first single. It’s Radio 1 enough to sound like Kylie hasn’t given up on that part of her pop career completely, but Radio 2 enough to ensure that some ****er actually plays it.
The best bit is: ”In-to the b…”
Kylie Moment? ”…uloooo”
03‘Feels So Good’
It’s: a song which, as you know, has already been released once – under a different name – by Tom Aspaul. Kylie’s version keeps the simplicity of Aspaul’s while adding a few production flourishes.
The best bit is: ”People come, people go, but I’d like to get to know you now.”
Kylie Moment? This song is devoid of true Kylie Moments.
02‘If Only’
It’s: reflective and dramatic, like Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’ put through a 2014 enormoballad blender.
The best bit is: knowing that when Kylie heads off on the tour she’ll inevitably announce either the week the single comes out or the week the album comes out, this will be what they call a ‘live highlight’.
Kylie Moment? ”True love is waiting in the wings… If only.”
AND THE BEST KYLIE MINOGUE SONG
ON THE NEW KYLIE MINOGUE ALBUM
‘KISS ME ONCE’
IS:
01‘Kiss Me Once’
It’s: a pensive, glorious mid-tempo extravaganza that redefines the term “explodes into chorus”, could have worked just as well on either of Kylie’s first two albums as it does on ‘Kiss Me Once’, proves that romance always wins over sex (as long as there’s some sex somewhere else in the equation), will make grown men weep, makes you fall deeper in love with Kylie than you have ever been before, could save as many relationships as it ignites, and has bells in it.
The best bit is: ”Me and you, baby we made it through.” If we don’t see at least two gentlemen doing their first dance to this on YouTube by the end of March something has gone very wrong with humanity.
Kylie Moment? This whole song is either a succession of different cascading Kylie moments, or one long Kylie moment from beginning to end.
So: relatively few true Kylie Moments, but some great songs along the way.
We’re giving this album a 7/10. And we’ve had a while to live with it so it’s a proper 7/10 rather than the sort of 7/10 we gave to the Britney album which is, frankly, a 6/10 at best, and even then only on a good day.
Anyway you’ll be able to hear the songs for yourself sooner than you might be expecting, and when you do hear it make sure you let us know what you think because this is a two-way street, you know.
