As there is no stand alone Kylie thread independent of specific album eras, I felt we should have one where every aspect of Kylie’s career can be discussed from ANY time period: past, present and future. Highlights from albums one thru four: Below is my all time personal favourite Kylie single, where the stars aligned and everything about its release was utter perfection: These are the definitive versions of her first four album releases as they contain absolutely everything (from each respective album era): 01) ”Kylie”: https://www.discogs.com/release/6651409-Kylie-Minogue-Kylie 02) ”Enjoy Yourself”: https://www.discogs.com/release/6623173-Kylie-Minogue-Enjoy-Yourself 03) ”Rhythm of Love”: https://www.discogs.com/release/6651464-Kylie-Rhythm-Of-Love 04) ”Let’s Get To It”: https://www.discogs.com/release/6651514-Kylie-Minogue-Lets-Get-To-It .. When she came back with her fifth album she switched her production team and record label (essentially beginning again from scratch). This was the worlds introduction to the reinvented Kylie: She then went on to explore Indie music (to the sheer horror of the gays) who outside her home country, almost died when she served them this: When she then went on to continue down the same path (on her sixth album “Impossible Princess”), with this production by Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers, the gays finally revolted and (temporarily) abandoned her for Steps: Nevertheless, she continued to listen to her inner muse and follow her own creative path: After two albums, she and her second record label (Deconstruction), mutually decided to have a parting of ways and after deciding that making money again might be a good idea, she then signed with Parlophone and re-embraced her ‘Pop’ origins on this abandoned Paula Abdul comeback track and it’s parent album (Kylie’s seventh), titled “Light Years”: The gays were suddenly back on board and so was the world (outside America): That wasn’t to last long though when she launched her eighth album with this Cathy Dennis penned S Club 7 and Sophie Ellis-Bextor reject track: However, Kylie then made a strategic error when she decided to take her ninth album in an R&B direction and decided not to use a little demo titled “Toxic” presented to her people by Cathy Dennis as it did not sonically fit the genre profile of what her management advised her was needed for the U.S. market. Instead the demo was presented to another singer you’ve probably heard of and Kylie went with this track that fitted the mood she was going for instead: The parent album “Body Language” did not find the love from the U.S. market it was intended to. Kylie then moved on to a retrospective compilation (“Ultimate Kylie”), which contained these two singles (the first being co-written by Jake Shears, formerly from Scissor Sisters) and the second written by Xenomania (better known for producing some of Girls Aloud and Sugababes finest work). That compilation has since been usurped with another more up to date compilation “Step Back In Time”. Shortly after releasing the above two singles from her 2004 retrospective, Kylie was diagnosed with and took time out to recover from cancer. Since her recovery, Kylie went on to release six further studio albums, single highlights include the following: Following Kylie’s recent successful Sydney “World Pride” appearance: Current whispers are circulating, suggesting that Kylie and Katy Perry have worked together on a track. Before this rumour it was already known that Katy is working on a dance album. Both artists are presently between album cycles and it is as yet unknown if (upon launching), the currently under wraps track will be on one of their albums (or both). They have also each (separately) worked with Greg Kurstin in the past. I can’t quite hear how their respective voices would blend together on a track and always assumed that Kylie and Madonna working together was a more fated collaboration that would occur first. What are your thoughts? Is a collab between Kylie + Katy the duet you never knew you needed or does the very idea leave you cold?
