KYLIE MINOGUE - X, album released UK November 26th 2007.
Encoded 192Kbps [Lame] mp3. Covers included.
Kylie Ann Minogue [born May 28th 1968 in Melbourne, Australia] is a Brit and Grammy award-winning Australian pop singer-songwriter and actress. Minogue rose to prominence in the late 1980s through her role in the Australian television soap opera Neighbours, before she commenced her career as a pop artist in the late '80s.
Signed to a contract by British songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman in 1988, she achieved a string of hit records throughout the world. She returned to popularity as a dance–pop artist in 2000, and became well-known for her provocative music videos and expensively mounted stage shows. Minogue has established one of the longest and most successful careers as a performer in contemporary pop music, and in Europe and Australia, she has become one of her generation's most recognisable celebrities and sex symbols. In Australia, after being dismissed early in her career by some critics, she has been acclaimed for her achievements. According to Warner Music Australia, Minogue has sold over 40 million records worldwide.
Traditionally, Kylie Minogue has been at her best attempting pure pop, not chasing credibility, but 'X', her tenth 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 and 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. '2 Hearts' the first single from the album, at the time of writing [November 23rd 2007], is at N0.4 in the UK singles charts.
