First thing I thought - she can’t even hide her hate for it even on an anniversary Love that the comments on the post seem mainly positive though and people saying it’s underrated etc., (I even saw a post showing love for IWGC!).

It's a very uplifting, breezy album. Even the likes of 'I Was Gonna Cancel' and 'Sexy Love', which I have always considered two of the weak moments, were sounding decent. I'd still swap them out for some of the outtakes, songs like 'Golden Boy', 'Waiting for the Sun' and the Garibay tracks are too good to be left on the cutting room floor! On the album itself, 'Into the Blue', 'Feel So Good', 'If Only', 'Kiss Me Once' and 'Fine' are all top tier, plus bonus track 'Sleeping with the Enemy' is one of my all time faves.

Having a song on a Kylie Minogue album defined my early career as a songwriter. I get asked about it in every interview to this day and I always gladly respond to the questions - I still have to pinch myself that it happened. It's an experience I'll always treasure. Not many people can say she covered one of their songs. I know KMO is not necessarily one her most ~cherished of albums (I liked it!) but I've only ever heard universally good things about Feels So Good - and that's enough for me. I hope someday she might decide to do another anti-tour and give Feels So Good fans what they want! You never know It's actually mad to think 10 years on, Kylie is as popular, if not more so, 30+ years into a glittering career. I remember when the album came out, reading a review in The Guardian, it said Feels So Good "feels like the fulfilment of the song’s destiny" and I like to think of it that way. Indiana found a perfect new home in a back catalogue that includes some of my favourite songs of all time. Here's to another 10 years 💓

Everything about this album seems forced - Sexercise was her trying to trendy but it fell flat on thr face cancel was trying to cash in on the Pharrell love Sexy love felt like a LADS wannabe Million miles and ITB felt like a forced “emotopop “ Kylie The only songs that still sound amazing today are the title track (which is truly truly lovely), Feels So good and the bonus song Sparks

The slog to gold continues! Hopefully the 10th anniversary will give it some curiosity streams.
