Then of course a similar thing happened when 'A Lifetime to Repair' was performed on X Factor when we were preparing ourselves for 'Music's Too Sad Without You' to be pushed. In response to the poll, I love both songs. I thought 'Golden' was a great feel-good song released in time to celebrate Kylie's 50th and was a great tour opener, but 'Real Groove' takes it for me; really catchy and contemporary.

Golden is a highlight for me from the album of the same name, and like Liam said it made for a great tour opener! However, for the exact same reason as Liam again, it has to be Real Groove Not just one of the best DISCO tracks, but a stand out in her whole discography, for me .

It might not have got as big of a campaign around it as the two pre-album singles but I think that's just a sign of the times.

Golden is clearly more heartfelt both lyrically and vocally and I really enjoy it. Real Groove is is a much more creative and clever pop song, definitely one of her best ever. It deserves so much more success but I’m also thankful it has managed some better streaming numbers for her. I really hope it is performed on a tour or TV/ festival at some point to ignite some wider interest.

I can see Real Groove was a good single choice. And Kylie has done some great stuff with it. For me, it's the sentiment of the lyrics that doesn't particularly appeal. A little too salty. Golden's lyrics are uplifting and cleverly written. So that got my vote. This post has been edited by McAndrew: Mar 11 2021, 10:38 PM
