2 HEARTS
Driven by a glam-tastic piano line, the album’s first single is the quintessential Kylie pop song.
As she sings: “I’m in love,” on the chorus, a killer hook kicks in, then a backing, “Wooo”, which will have you singing along from the first ¬listen.
Everything we love about Kylie comes flooding back in an instant on this sure-fire No 1 hit.
KEY LYRIC: You make me invisible, like the sky you make my day.
LIKE A DRUG
Starting with a thudding bass drum and an array of futuristic electro noises, this immediately comes across as a Madonna-esque dance track, complete with breathy vocals over a pounding beat.
This is the sound of Kylie at her flirtiest – will be great in a crowded club.
KEY LYRIC: Damn right I have my radar on you, so let’s get physical. I want to, want to.
IN MY ARMS
A spoken word intro from Kylie quickly gives way to an explosion of disco synths and a wave of classic dance pop with a huge chorus.
It’s clear by this point that this is an album that will be dominating dancefloors for some time to come.
Written by Richard Stannard, who also wrote Kylie’s In Your Eyes, this is the album’s stand-out track – a swirly pop masterpiece.
KEY LYRIC: How does it feel in my arms? Do you want it, do you need it, can you feel it? Tell me…
SPEAKERPHONE
THE most radical track on the album, starting with, of all things, a plucking harp, before a call and response vocal from Kylie kicks in.
Her light voice calls out words while a heavily vocodered voice responds.
Kylie’s vocal is at times almost unrecognisable on a track that sounds more like Daft Punk’s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger than any Minogue track we’ve heard to date.
KEY LYRIC: Drop your socks and grab your mini boombox/Play it on your speakerphone, set your mind on freaky mode, where’d you wanna go?
SENSITIZED
A driving anthem, filled with stabbing strings and distinctly Eastern feel.
A good song, but given that it was written by Cathy “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” Dennis and Guy “Angels” Chambers, you’d be forgiven for being a bit underwhelmed.
KEY LYRIC: I can’t hold back, the minute I try, baby you flip the switch and I’m sensitized.
HEART BEAT ROCK
Written by pop’s man of the moment, Calvin “Accep-table in the Eighties” Harris, this is a sexy, flirty track with Kylie speak-rapping over Calvin’s funky beat.
Kylie sounds like she’s taking her cue from sexy French rapper Uffie as squelchy synths become the order of the day.
A real ass shaker – would make a great ¬single.
KEY LYRIC: I’ve been around the world, but I’m not those other girls/I’m feeling special/Do you like what you see?
THE ONE
Starting with a dreamy organ intro, this quickly bursts into a full-on, nostalgic Eighties love anthem, complete with a new wave guitar line and two-note beeping melody played over a thumping bass track. All that’s missing is the Neighbours perm and Jason Donovon.
The theme of the album by this point seems to be longing. Is Kylie really so lonely?
KEY LYRIC: Love me, love me, love me… I’m the one.
NO MORE RAIN
Opening with an acoustic guitar intro reminiscent of Madonna’s Ray Of Light, it hits a heavily-layered-vocal chorus with a slightly Eastern feel that’s reminiscent of Madonna’s Ray Of Light before Kylie starts singing about the “sun coming up on another day”, reminiscent of… you guessed it…
A great track, but isn’t this just a slowed down version of Ray Of Light?
KEY LYRIC: Love carries a hurt that you hold, funny how life can unfold.
ALL I SEE
After all that dance, a well-timed change in pace sees what should be Kylie’s first massive R&B hit.
A soulful bassline and light piano melody compose the kind of laid-back track you’d expect to find on a Rihanna or Beyoncé record.
Kylie’s voice sounds deeper than we’re often used to hearing – it comes as a great response to critics who say she’s not versatile.
A strong radio track, and very different to the rest of the record.
KEY LYRIC: I don’t want you to rush cos you’re feeling like heaven to me/Follow the ribbon we’ll keep it real close, in the dark anything goes.
STARS
While there’s nothing wrong with this fine pop effort, this track essentially epitomises the dance template the Kylie has been using since 2001 – a thudding drumbeat, layers of synths and a climbing guitar-line and Kylie’s gentle voice – without offering anything particularly new.
KEY LYRIC: Open your mind’s eye and light up familiar faces, because in time you’ll find life and all of its graces.
WOW
The second track on the album to show a heavy homage to Daft Punk’s seminal Discovery album – this time taking its cue from the French duo’s One More Time anthem.
The track gives the album a welcome shot in the arm as it nears the end, and is clearly the album’s feel-good party song.
Its funky bassline is guaranteed to get you on the dancefloor.
KEY LYRIC: The way you walk/The rhythm when you’re dancing/Every inch of you spells out desire/ You’re wow, wow, wow, wow.
NU-DI-TY
Starting with a slow and sleazy, dirty beat, this is essentially a house track with Kylie’s vocals cut up and distorted on top.
Urban synths meet with sampled elephant noises, while “whoops” over the top result in the singer’s most bizarre track to date.
Very out of step with the rest of the album.
KEY LYRIC: Time to strip down/Just pop that zipper for me and work that thing out/Just expose it
COSMIC
Just when it looked like the one thing this brilliant album was missing was a huge, anthemic ballad, Kylie saves the best for last.
Huge soaring strings and dramatic key changes collide on the singer’s most heartfelt work in years.
A hugely emotional tale of love and regret.
KEY LYRIC: Wasn’t it
Just my choice to make, the bed in which I lay? I put these things aside for years/Till laughter took the place of tears/It’s like I was asleep/But now I’m here.
