Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Traditionally, Kylie Minogue has been at her best attempting pure pop, not chasing credibility, but X--her 10th studio album, and the first since 2003’s Body Language--somehow pulls off the trick of being both. With production credits split between old hands like Richard Stannard and Guy Chambers and new faces like Calvin Harris, the Freemasons and Bloodshy & Avant, the Swedish team behind Britney’s "Toxic", X does a neat job of matching big hooks with forward-thinking production tricks. The poptimistic Kylie fan will head straight for "2 Hearts," a sassy falling-for-you number with a glammy beat and a chorus poised to fill a thousand Karaoke rooms, and "Wow"--a thumping disco number with a lot of love to give. Scattered alongside these, however, are some slightly more adventurous productions that demonstrate that despite a few years off the stage, Kylie is well up to speed with 21st-century pop: the excellent "Speakerphone" begins with the sound of a strummed harp before diffusing into a shimmering, Scandinvian-tinged electro-pop number reminiscent of Robyn or the Knife, all snapping, sassy beats and vocodered vocal; meanwhile, the ghetto-pop bounce of "Nu-di-ty" proves raunch is still by no means beyond her. A very welcome return. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars X................Marks the Spot!, Jan 17 2008

By	Richard A. Dasilva (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: X (Audio CD)

This a good album from Kylie.....PERIOD!
She is a dance/pop artist and one should not expect deep philosophical ruminations on life, the world, or politics from her. Any true fan of Ms. Minogue knows that she is an intensely private person & would never openly discuss her personal business in song. (An exception to this would be her "Impossible Princess" CD from 1997 which came out at a particularly trying time in her personal life...if you don't have it, get it...it's VERY good) She stretches out quite a bit here trying on various musical styles from basic pop (The One) to glam rock a la Roxy Music/David Bowie (2 Hearts) to more edgy club-influenced sounds (Heart Beat Rock & SpeakerPhone....the former sounding very Gwen Stefani-ish...in a GOOD way) "Sensitized", which I admit I wasn't crazy about at first, has an interesting sample from "Bonnie & Clyde" running through it that gives the song an extra kick of sensuality that it wouldn't otherwise have. "Like a Drug", with it's opening synth riff, conjures up memories of Visage's 1981 gem "Fade To Grey"; in my opinion one of the best New Wave dance songs of all time. (Check the song out for yourself kids & tell me you don't hear a connection) All in all, like Madonna's "Confessions On A Dancefloor" from 2005, this a FINE return to form for Kylie. May she continue for at least another 20 years!
Good to have you back Kylie!!!!
XOXOXOXO

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good return for Kylie, Jan 13 2008

By	Louis (Quebec, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: X (Audio CD)

Kylie Minogue, after a couple of years of understandable absence from the spotlight (she suffered from breast cancer), finally returns with her tenth studio album "X".

This album is an arresting collection of ecclectic electro-pop songs, slickly produced by an array of contemporary producers and delivered in Kylie's instantly recognizable voice. The Kylie stamp is all over these songs, whether it's instant hit singles (such as "The one", "Wow" or "In my arms") or edgier dance tracks ("Speakerphone", "Sensitized", the excellent "Like a drug" or the uplifting "Heartbeat rock"). The debut single "2 hearts" is hook-heavy, and certainly quite a stretch from what we're used to hear from Kylie. She has obviously decided to look ahead and not to dwell too much on her personal trials on this album, with the exception of two songs ("No more rain" and "Cosmic", both of which are very touching). The result is an entertaining and extremely diversified album that will certainly please her fanbase.

This said, the album is not perfect; the production may be top-level, but too often it buries Kylie's performance in gimmicks that become forgettable and unneccessary after a few listenings (the robotic voice on "Speakerphone", for instance). And as for "Nu-Di-Ty", don't let its racy title fool you : it sounds like a song that even Britney Spears would reject, and it kills the flow of the album (thank God it's near the end).

Fortunately, these minor mistakes are not enough to tank the album; it's a great reminder of why Kylie became so successful twenty years ago and has remained so ever since.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Fun as Usual!, Jan 7 2008

By	momo_adachi (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: X (Audio CD)

In 2002, 80s popstar/soap actress Kylie Minogue managed to, after years of independant releases (as well as the wonderful disco-pop treasure 'Light Years' which never managed to make a dent in the North American market) find a place in the top 40 once again with her major smash, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". 2003's Body Language, a sensual and sassy return with a new sound and a revitalized new look was good, just couldn't quite reach the same success of Fever. Then, for four years, Kylie was lying low, to recover from her winning battle with cancer.

Enter 'X'. While Kylie makes no grand statement about survival blatantly, she does this in a more subtle way by proving once again, that she's still standing - after 80s bubblegum, 90s underground, and some of the best disco-pop albums the world has ever seen (sorry, Madonna) Kylie delivers once again.

'X' demonstrates a new side of Ms. Minogue -- a few songs are much edgier and darker than her previous releases (the smash single 'Two Hearts' is like David Bowie meets Goldfrapp). That aside, the best moments on 'X' are the ones in which Kylie does what she does best - charming, playful dance pop. The standouts include the boisterous futuristic 'Wow', 'Speakerphone' which verges on Pussycat Dolls berlesque territory, and 'Stars' which is probably the most straight-up pop song on the album (which for me, a teenager of the late 90s, was a delightful throwback). 'X' isn't perfect but even the more forgettable tracks (such as the immature R & B 'All I See' and the bland 'In My Arms') aren't un-listenable or cringe-inducing. Every song is a miniature hooky dance party.
No matter how long she disappears for the spotlight or what trials and tribulations she faces in her personal life, it is certain that Kylie Minogue will always be the reigning queen of dance music.
