It's not often that I can pop a record in and listen to it all the way through without having to skip around throughout. I have to say that with the exception of only a couple of songs, Kylie Minogue's 10th record X
has impressed me. ("X" is due out in the U.S. on April 1st) Kylie Minogue is a name synonymous with clubs and dancing, and this album certainly is not a let down in that department. Miss thing has most certainly still got "it".
Here's some of the highlights from Kylie Minogue's X
:
Like A Drug
with it's techno vibe and sensual lyrics is simply amazing.
In My Arms
has a really fun 80's retro feel with it's synthesized hooks, and the big release/feel good chorus.
Speakerphone
was by far my favorite track off of the album, it has this amazing HARP hook, amazing synthesized vocals, and a GREAT beat. It is so different from everything that's out right now, and it's different in all the right ways.
Stars
was another great dance track that had such a wonderful dreamy quality to it. Superb.
Wow
Kylie's lead single, all I can say is wow. I can see this being played in clubs nationwide and people running onto the dance floor to break it down. I typically only listen to a song once when I am trying to review a record and then go back to it later after I'm done...but I listened to "Wow" on repeat for about 20 minutes just because it made me move. Such a great single.
I suggest that if you like pop/dance music, you need to go to your local record store or hit up your preferred online music store and get this album on April 1st.
