KYLIE TALKING MY LANGUAGE.
Forget the love life and her bum, Kylie Minogue's new album is finally ready - and I've got my hands on the first copy off the presses.

Body language, has seemed like ages coming and I'll bet you're all dying to know if it's much cop.

Forget 'Fever Part II', this is no straightforward pop affair.

Set squarley in the Eighties, Kylie's ninth studio album is her freshest.

It's all about heavy synth, heavy breathing, electro disco and how very conifdent her music is - very. But the influences are not hard to find.

The tracks Still Standing and I Feel For You are Prince when he was good.

The Ms Dynamite co-penned number Secret (Take You Home) samples Lisa Lisa's 1985 hit I Wonder If I Take You Home.

And Eminem-style production even gets a look-in on Red Blooded Woman, which will hopefully be a single.

Elsewhere on the CD, Chocolate and Sweet Music* are touching, catchy ballads.

Critisims? AT times Kylie's high-pitched twang risks sounding like Milo (or is it Jake?) from The Tweenies. But she somehow gets away with it.

Body Language may not be full of hit singles like Fever was, but it's still one of the most accomplished disco albums ever.
- Victoria Newton's 'Bizarre' (The Sun, Monday Nov 3rd 2003)

*God knows why she described 'Sweet Music' as a ballad though - it's not, it's a great up-tempo track which I LOVE!

BODY LANGUAGE IS OUT ON NOVEMBER 17th.

how do you know?

am i the only person who thinks she looks like claudia schiffer in these shots?

Moonbeam said:

You can't make me! Even if you put me in a bottle.

TRON said:

She's been better than Madonna since 1998.

Now STAY IN YOUR BOTTLE!

Moonbeam said:

You're out of your fucking mind and totally invalidated any credibility you have whatsoever.

TRON said:

You're out of your mind if you think "Music" can compare to "Light Years," let alone "Fever." And from the sound of it, "Body Language" will be better than "American Life" too.

Moonbeam said:

Kylie's music doesn't have any meaning and is completely unoriginal. Nobody has albums that sound like Madonna's collaboration with Mirwais. They're edgy, personal and raw. I'm sorry. I just don't see the comparison between the two artists other than blonde bombshells that do dance music with a large gay following. The similarities end there. Thank god.

TRON said:

"Fever" is more revolutionary than most Madonna albums. Nothing sounds like it. The same can be said for "Light Years." Those aren't just run-of-the-mill pop, just like Madonna's aren't. I don't think Kylie and Madonna are all that similar as they are made out to be either. Heck, for the past 5 years, I don't think virtually anyone has been better than Kylie, except maybe the Cure, the Strokes and NERD.

Moonbeam said:

"Fever" sounds like a zillion dance mix USA tracks. I don't find it revolutionary at all. Hell, Kylie wouldn't even know what to do with herself if it weren't for Madonna laying the groundwork. And as far as the genre is concerned, I think the only times Madonna wasn't setting the trends were during "Bedtime Stories" and "Evita". Every other time, she's been leading the way. And I think that Bowie has been leagues ahead of Kylie, The Strokes and NERD the last 5 years. So has Bjork with just one album.

TRON said:

You just don't get "Fever." I forgot to mention Bjork. She definitely trumps them all. Even Bowie isn't on par with Kylie for the past 5 years, in my opinion.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to rain on your Kylie parade. But I just wish that people would stop comparing her to Madonna. It's not fair to Madonna or Kylie. To me, it cheapens them both.

Moonbeam said:

I get it. What's there to get? It's pretty surface. I just don't like it or care about it.

TRON said:

You don't get it. Nothing sounds like "Can't Get You Out of My Head." Nothing sounds like "In Your Eyes." There's just a fresh glow about that whole album that hasn't been touched by anyone.

Moonbeam said:

You can 'get' something without liking it. And vice versa.

I 'get' what Creed is all about and that's why I hate it.

I'm not gonna wake up someday and be like, "Oh my God. I'm so stupid. How could I have hated this for so long?"

Just as you can appreciate or even love a work of art without undrestanding it. I love a lot of Miles Davis' work without knowing anything about him, his creative circumstances, how the songs are put together, jazz in general, who he's worked with, etc.

One is not a prerequisite for the other.

Moonbeam said:

I always thought that "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" sounded a lot like an update of Robin S.

TRON said:

I'm not saying you have to like it. But if to you it sounds like "a zillion dance mix USA tracks" then I don't think you do get it. It's fine. I didn't get "Heroes" or "Ashes to Ashes" either. Kylie isn't an artist you have any inkling to like anyway, so it's not important. But it is worlds apart from Amber, Sonique and the like.

TRON said:

That's a good song, but I don't see any comparison other than the same synth effect.

Moonbeam said:

I don't see how. But if it turns you on, then that's cool.

And I don't think it's just a prejudice against Kylie. Because when you wanted to play me Dannii so bad, I dreaded it and didn't want to hear it at all. I had already made my mind up. But when I heard it, I was pleasantly surprised because it does sound unique and interesting. Maybe it doesn't have any more meaning than Kylie's work, but to me it sounds good.

Moonbeam said:

I thought you hated Robin S. with a passion!

TRON said:

It's perfectly fine that Kylie's not your flavor. And Dannii's album is all those things you say it is.

Moonbeam said:

Bare in mind that I think Dannii is Dance Mix USA 2003 fodder as well. Not that that's a bad thing.
