QUOTE(Simon. @ Dec 15 2020, 05:11 PM)  Currently listening to Body Language for the first time properly, has she performed 'Loving Days' somewhere before? It sounds very familiar. Unfortunately not.  I'm fairly certain there's an uncredited Janet Jackson sample in there though.

Yes it very much blends into one in most places and it makes it a hard listen.

I feel Body Language did more damage than good to Kylies career.

It killed the huge momentum of light years and fever but ultimate kylie came at the right time to turn things around.

It did eat away sales.
Body Language was aimed to capitalize on the American success of Can't Get You Out of my Head and it failed. |

It's not the first or the last Kylie album to disappoint commercially while delivering lots of great songs
 Commercial letdowns like the BL and KMO eras didn't really affect my love for those songs, because I'm a Canadian fan  Any sort of chart or sales success is just a bonus rather than expectation, from my perspective as a diehard fan of Kylie's, a niche artist without decades of national love on these shores.

Yes the perspective is different when you look at it from a country where Kylie is a niche artist.

The decline was more in view to the markets Kylie performs in strongly.

It wasn't a total disaster though, and nobody can keep up that level of momentum forever.
She could have easily spat out a copy of Fever but I respect her a whole lot more for not doing so and taking a bit of a risk. |

I welcome the risk but the dramatic change was too much too quick.

I was not keen on this album on the couple of times that I listened to it previously, but I have returned to it today with fresh ears...
1. Red Blooded Woman 2. Slow 3. Loving Days 4. Promises 5. Chocolate 6. Secret (Take You Home) 7. Obsession 8. Still Standing 9. Sweet Music 10. After Dark 11. Someday 12. I Feel For You ...and nothing has changed 'Red Blooded Woman' is incredible and one of my favourite Kylie singles, and 'Slow' is a good listen too but there is very little else. I found it very hard to rank the rest because nothing really stood out as an individual track that I could properly distinguish from the rest (and this is my 3rd listen through from start to end  ). I think I need to accept that the album isn't for me and you can't win them all  Some real highs but the rest is obscure, ambigious, lows.Album ranking 01. Fever 02. Kylie Minogue 03. Rhythm of Love 04. Light Years 05. Impossible Princess 06. Kylie 07. Enjoy Yourself 08. Let's Get To It 09. Body Language |

Body Language was creative but boring through most of the album.

Agree with your review, it’s such a bore fest of an album - I’ve revisited it so many times and it all just seems to roll into one tbh, it was such a let down at the time after the iconic Fever era.

It is a borefest, like others i have tried this album so many times and overall it feels like one very long song that at times feels like it will never end, such a let down after fever and light years.

I can easily distinguish between each track, although I don't know if that's because I have an attachment to the songs having been a fixture of my life since I was 16 (well, except for the two absolute CLUNKERS which Haus highlighted in his ranking)

Will give it another listen from start to end as it’s been a while. Never considered it a borefest haha but I can see why people would think that.

I think BL has some pretty decent moments. 'Promises' is one of my most-played album tracks. But probably the most Fever-esque track on the album.

Just listened to it twice through whilst on a rampant cleaning mission...it’s slick and well produced. I think they went for sexy production over catchy melodies.
The three singles plus Still Standing are the standouts, and I have a soft spot for Sweet Music, immediately takes me back to November 2003. |
