I got my Kylie ticket for Dublin!
:alexz:

In other news, Tanking has re-entered the uk chart at number 50. Queen of top 75 hits rebounding every now and then, Madonna would never, etc.
Tanking? Wats this?

Was that meat to be about Kardashians? Russian revenge will follow. Cause I searched youtube on that thing.
Beware of your computer. It might explode.

The new single is like Dancing, only less decent. The chorus is a bit flat.

I just feel nothing for the new song and I'm already completely over Dancing. They just feel far too underwritten and simplistic. There's nowhere near enough meat on their bones.

Rapidly losing interest in this era. :sadalexz:

Oh, you're definitely making some valid points, Riv. Herself hasn't been this invested and enthusiastic about a music project in many years, she's looking ridiculously good at the moment, BMG are trying really hard re-introducing her to a completely different music market by setting up a thought out album campaign...

HOWEVER music is the weak factor here. Just like Madonna, Kylie has never delivered a truly horrible album. The two singles are cute and lovely and all that, but there's nothing spectacular about them. I fear the country influence has been approached way too literally. The songwriting may be decent, if not relatively strong, on the other hand the production comes across as cynical - as if they wouldn't even consider straight up pop versions even though the songs obviously needed a drastic switch to flourish. The songs are so short they have no space to breathe. The semi-acoustic verses kill any hope for a build up.

I was expecting a contemporary adult pop album with electronic twists and melodies crafted by country oriented musicians. Not an entertaining, campy soundtrack to the sequel of dukes of hazard. Right now, I'm only starving for the beefed up latino remix of this new single.

Though I thought Dancing was charming, this latest single is stretching the folk/country direction a bit too far. Even worse, it's not even that good of a song.

Sadly enough, I sense this album is not targeting my taste of music, after all. Why she didn't ask for years & years to hand her a dozen of pop bangers I don't get. Oh well...

Whoever came up with the idea that gays miss country music (like, look what Madonna did in 2000), and milk it to Kylie...
You know what I wish them.
Don't want to sound too hateful nowadays. I wish them luck as Kylie too.

Hope the album is not all for the old (very old) Central American gays, which were not even ever exsisted!
(Only in George Michael's imagination I guess)

I can now officially declare stop me from falling as one of her weakest singles ever. Dancing, however, remains lovely and amazing. Had it been released a decade earlier, it would have been a big hit for her.

a decade ago we had X with 2 Hearts and The One which were so much better than these two singles and even those weren't exactly hits

Finally right words.
I never thought I would judge Kylie after Red Blooded Woman, or what that shit was.

But when you hear QUALITY shit, it looks shit even more like your usual shit.

I really hope the album has some hidden jems... But... Barely.

Raining Glitter is not very good, is it? The verses are decent, but the chorus is a stinker. I'm starting to get the sense that they had a bunch of songs that were just ok and didn't really know what to do with them, so decided on a "County pop" gimmick and just went with it. The songs are so, so unremarkable.

I think you might be right. Whilst Dancing was cute and lovely as an introductory single to this era, Stop me from Falling felt like an identical, albeit way inferior copy to its predecessor. Now, Raining Glitter is your typical Kylie banger getting the basic country-fied treatment to fit into the album's soundscape. One need not to be an expert in comprehending this was originally conceived as a pop/dance euphoric anthem in the vein of Love at First Sight. The chorus is actually fairly strong, yet let down by production values and vocal arrangement.

I WANT MY KYLIE BACK :(

"Music’s Too Sad" was played on the Ken Bruce show on Radio 2 earlier (1:52 for those who have iPlayer).:

The new album is a total meh on first listen. I just don’t think I’m really here for country bumpkin Kylie, or maybe it’s just that the material seems a bit limp. Hopefully it’s a grower...

On first few listens, it's easily one of her her worst albums for me, if not *the* worst. So many deeply mediocre songs and not even one genuine highlight. Normally her albums have a few crackers at least. There isn't a single song on this that I'd miss if I never heard them again.

1. Dancing 7/10
2. Stop Me From Falling 6/10
3. Golden 6/10
4. A Lifetime to Repair 5/10
5. Sincerely Yours 5/10
6. One Last Kiss 5/10
7. Live a Little 5/10
8. Shelby ’68 7/10
9. Radio On 6/10
10. Love 4/10
11. Raining Glitter 7/10
12. Music’s Too Sad Without You (with Jack Savoretti) 7/10
13. Lost Without You 7/10
14. Every Little Part Of Me 5/10
15. Rollin’ 5/10
16. Low Blow 6/10
