BuzzJack Music Forum _ Kylie and Dannii Minogue _ Fever: Album Tracks
Posted by: pippa 3rd August 2018, 02:27 PM
Fever, the globally successful album from Kylie that was a wonderful follow up to the fantastic Light Years Album.
The album delivered 4 big Top 10 hits for Kylie.
17 years later, which album track still stands the test of time for you.
Please Vote and leave some comments.

It has to be Fever, Love Affair would be a close second.
Other are just b-side fillers.

Fragile closely followed by Love Affair and Fever

Fragile closely followed by Fever.
Fragile is just beautiful.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 3rd August 2018, 04:44 PM
'Love Affair' is the one.
Posted by: Michael Andrew 3rd August 2018, 08:52 PM
I voted for 'Love Affair' because I would've liked it as a single. But it's a very close run thing.
I also love 'Burning Up', 'Your Love' and 'More More More'.
To me, 'Fever' has the most consistent quality of album tracks out of all her back catalogue. There are no skippers here.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 3rd August 2018, 09:52 PM
Fragile easily for me,for years it would be fever with fragile second but fever hasn't aged well. At the time I wanted it as fourth single but CIMW was the right choice. Fever is a good album but light years has some far greater album tracks.
Posted by: Hide&Seek 3rd August 2018, 11:08 PM
I vote for More More More.
I also love Fever, and Burning Up. I can't actually remember Love Affair from the title , but am curious now as it's some peoples first choice. I know I like the whole album so must like that one too, just drawing a blank.
If Feels So Good had been on the album, it would get my vote. It's in my top 5 Kylie songs ever !
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 4th August 2018, 12:08 AM
More more more would be one of my least faves but it's good to see a few of the songs get votes.
Posted by: pippa 4th August 2018, 12:08 PM
There is no bad tracks here to the albums credit.
Light Years does have one or two weak songs but the good songs on Light Years by far outweigh the good songs on Fever.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th August 2018, 12:46 AM
Songs like Disco down, your disco needs you, under the influence, bittersweet goodbye and light years are far far stronger than any of the songs here even though most of these are great songs.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 5th August 2018, 09:42 AM
I feel like this would be a totally 100% perfect album if 'Tightrope' was on the tracklist instead of 'Give It To Me'.
Not that 'Give It To Me' is bad per se, but it totally sticks out like a sore thumb.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th August 2018, 09:07 PM
Great to see fragile pick up votes as sometimes i feel like im alone in loving it and likewise with bittersweet goodbye on light years.
Posted by: SamJudd 7th August 2018, 10:22 PM
Love Affair
*Tightrope [if this was included]*
Burning Up
Fever
Your Love
Fragile
More, More, More
Dancefloor
Give It to Me
My opinion has changed since the last time I voted so here's my ranking of the album tracks...
Posted by: Euphorique 7th August 2018, 10:53 PM
Fragile followed by Fever, Your Love and Love Affair
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 9th August 2018, 10:52 PM
For years I felt it was a mistake not releasing fever as a single but now I can see why but it's still a great song.loved the performance of it on an audience with kylie. Outside the singles fragile is the song I listen to most from the album.
Posted by: HausofTove 16th July 2019, 04:23 PM
I've made it my mission to go through her back catalogue and I started with this. Obviously very familiar with the singles but I really enjoyed the album as a whole.
My favourite new discovery was Fragile so I voted it here! Also liked Burning Up. Will be returning to it again I'm sure

Fragile is my favourite too
It was Fever back when the album was new, but over the years Fragile ended up presenting itself to me as being the gem of the album tracks.
Posted by: pippa 16th July 2019, 06:07 PM
Fragile was always a gem of a song, just beautiful but so under valued.
Fever was a terrific track for a long time on the album but time has not been kind to it.
Still good, but i more understand now why it was not chosen as the 4th single.
Posted by: Medellíam 16th July 2019, 07:06 PM
Yes for the 'Fragile' and 'Burning Up' love! They're two of my album highlights too, although I'd probably say 'Love Affair' is my top choice out of the non-singles.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the album! I'd also give a listen to 'Tightrope' which was criminally just a B-side but it's absolutely essential:
Posted by: pippa 16th July 2019, 07:12 PM
Tightrope is worth a listen, not on the same level as Fragile but still a good song.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 16th July 2019, 09:48 PM
Fragile I have always been a fan but I slightly prefer bittersweet goodbye.
Posted by: pippa 17th July 2019, 01:15 PM
Love Affair has a sudden surge of votes.
Your Love is one of the other songs i hugely enjoy outside of the singles.
Realistically, Fever was the only other option for a single that could have made Top 10 but Come Into My World was the correct choice for 4th release.
Would a 5th single have worked do you think?
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 17th July 2019, 01:57 PM
She probably could have got top 15 or so with a 5th single in early 2003, with how people collected the formats of her singles.
But I quite like the 16 top 10 singles in a row from 'Spinning Around' onwards and wouldn't want that broken.
Posted by: pippa 17th July 2019, 02:15 PM
I liked that run of Top 10 singles too.
Fever, at the time sounded like a hit, if backed with promotion and the multi formats it may have made it to the Top 10 on the right week.
That said, it was great her Top 10 run of singles was not broke for a good few years.
Posted by: Medellíam 17th July 2019, 10:47 PM
I feel like a lot of campaigns during the Noughties were cut short due to artists/record companies wanting to keep up Top 10 streaks.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th July 2019, 11:30 AM
Def the case as much work went into singles apart from promo u had multi format CD singles etc so the high chart positions were chased.After IP was released who would have thought kylie had as many top 10 ahead as she had already achieved at that point.
Posted by: pippa 19th July 2019, 12:35 PM
They multi format cd singles were a joy as with most releases we got some new b sides which we all know many ended up as great.
With how IP and how its singles performed in the UK i really thought Kylie was in serious trouble.
I did not think she would go on to achieve some of the biggest era's of her career and score multiple Top 10 singles, 3 Number 1 singles, 4 number 1 albums and millions of sales.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 19th July 2019, 01:57 PM
I really miss the days when I'd religiously go into HMV on release day every time she released a new single and buy CD1 + CD2 of it. 
It was a better time.
Posted by: pippa 19th July 2019, 02:26 PM
It was hugely exciting shopping for cd singles for the ones you really wanted.
All that excitement is no longer there as music is just a click away and a couple of seconds and you have it.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 20th July 2019, 11:47 AM
I loved loved the 2 CD single days and sometimes u also got the 12"vinyl release and a DVD single, all this plus b sides, remixes and live versions made my CD single shopping so exciting. It was a great time for building a good kylie collection to.
Posted by: pippa 20th July 2019, 01:19 PM
I thoroughly enjoyed these such releases too as they always had something to offer to making purchasing them worth while.
That said, i do believe if Kylie done all these formats for her next lead single she could have another comfortable Top 40 hit.
Posted by: vibe 5th May 2020, 10:18 AM
Listening to the album tracks for the first time.
1. More More More 7/10 - Luscious vocal.
2. Love At First Sight 8/10
3. CGYOOFM 9/10 - Didn’t love it at the time but sounded orgasmic in my headphones today.
4. Fever 6/10 - Catchy chorus but this is the weakest so far for me. I know fans love it.
5. Give It To Me 7/10 - I didn’t know Kylie had a song called GI2M. Madonna’s is better 😉
6. Fragile 8/10 - dream song and vocal
7. CIMW 10/10 - Fav track ‘I need your Love’ why isn’t this track 1 ?
8. In Your Eyes 8/10
9. On The Dancefloor 10/10 - ‘Come and see me getting over you!!’ Immediately had to download this!!
10. Love Affair 5/10 didn’t stand out but was still thinking about the previous track.
11. Your Love 6/10
12. Burning Up 8/10
Posted by: Jay ☆ 5th May 2020, 11:10 AM
Fragile is still the one for me
Tightrope is gorgeous and I wish it had had a place on the main track list!

Tightrope is gorgeous and I wish it had had a place on the main track list!
I can't believe her team didn't realise what gold they were sitting on when they left 'Tightrope' off the album!
It fits perfectly.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th May 2020, 12:25 PM
Tightrope I like but dont love, fragile I adore and i have never tired of it, loved fever and still like it but it's one if the songs that sounds very dated now where fragile doesn't.
Posted by: ___∆___ 5th May 2020, 12:35 PM
Tightrope - still LOVE it to this day, her team have a habit of leaving amazing songs off albums 
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th May 2020, 03:27 PM
They def are not the best at selecting the right tracks for albums and same with singles from to time aswell.
Posted by: Liam.k. 5th May 2020, 04:45 PM
I know they like to cover range of sounds and styles with the album tracking lists, which I guess is why something like 'Give It to Me' is on the album even though most fans find it quite weak, but sometimes you have to wonder why they don't see a hit song when they have it.
They also only seem to want a set amount of songs on the album. I was listening to an interview Kylie did about Body Language and she was saying there was a song she really wanted on the album (she wouldn't disclose which one so not to risk fans getting angry if it was one they really liked) but the label wanted 12 songs. I'm intrigued as to which track that might have been, presumably it was one of the B-sides/bonus tracks.
Posted by: pippa 5th May 2020, 04:48 PM
I worry that Kylie doesn't get enough of a say with her albums,with a different outcome, it happened with Lost Without You.
I would believe the links between a song writer/producer and the record label could play its role in a weak song making its way onto a given album.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th May 2020, 05:07 PM
I think she has a fairly good say in her albums now and prob now more than ever. Maybe its a case where she wanted other songs also that were on the actual album and the label were like you have got your way on other tracks but we really dont feel this song works on the album.
Posted by: pippa 5th May 2020, 05:13 PM
Your Love has moved up in my estimations as of late.
Fragile I continue to get so much from,sweet sensational song that Kylie should perform in the future.
Posted by: SamJudd 5th May 2020, 05:16 PM
More, More, More
Not kicking things off with something a little different (than the usual lead single), instead begins with this breathy and frothy dance number which sees Kylie at her most alluring and her outstandingly high vocals dominate throughout and its very clear from the first few seconds that we're in for something very different to her previous album and its a great album opener.
Love At First Sight
Now this is where the album really takes off with a muted backbeat and electric piano intro, then suddenly explodes into giant swirling sound, very classy and effortlessly cool and elevated thanks to its state of the art dance production and definitely one of the best examples of 00's pop/dance music. With simple but effective lyrics that evoke the feelings of being in a new relationship, the song is just stunning and quite rightfully established itself as a firm fan favourite. To call this a standout is an understatement.
Can't Get You Out of my Head
Yes this is it, that massive globe trotting lead single where 13 years into her pop career Kylie scores her biggest hit and saw her embraced by pretty much everyone with this cool electric minimal track, very sleek and stylish and often labelled as one of the greatest songs of the 21st century and not hard to see why with its hypnotic beats and futuristic production, everything about this just comes together perfectly and of course Kylie's vocals here are top notch, and what else can I say that already hasn't been said, I know the constant overplay may have killed it for a while for Kylie fans, but enough time has to fully re-embrace and enjoy this glorious gem again.
Fever
The title track and a somewhat departure from the dance/pop that dominates this album, instead being an updated electro track that inspired by the 80's, and along with very tongue in cheek lyrics that just adds to the fun of the song. Its sexy and certainly suggestive, and just an all round good little number.
Give It To Me
Definitely the album's weakest moment here with this hard electro-funk number that's very sharp and heavily chopped up vocals that feels a bit out of place on this album, and then there's that annoying recurrent telephone ringing throughout which really drags things down. The only positive is that at least's its short and could have easily been replaced by any number of the strong B-side/bonus tracks such as 'Tightrope, 'Good Like That' or 'Boy'. The song feels like an experiment that didn't quite work.
Fragile
More classy, sophisticated pop/dance now with this gorgeously layered number that's very soothing especially after the chaos of the previous track with a dreamy yet passionate vocals by Kylie that perfectly captures the essence of the song, whilst at the same allowing a bit of vulnerability over its hypnotic soundscape.
Come Into My World
Whilst this treads a very similar path to the lead single, but this track is yet another highlight on here with its slinky electro beats, cool guitar licks and some cool synths. This may have been a last minute addition to the album and not quite the version we all know and love (when released as the 4th and final single), but this version is still pretty good and Kylie's seductive vocals really keeps the sophisticated flow of the album running smoothly.
In Your Eyes
The thumping and aggressive beat and infectious chorus makes this the perfect follow up single to the massive lead, this is a beautifully crafted number and just a cracking tune all-round that instantly whips you into a frenzy upon first listen and yet sultry at the same time thanks to its blending of dance/pop, nu disco and techno beats that runs throughout and therefore creating a brilliant anthem.
Dancefloor
Another track that may feel a little out of place here thanks to its more poppy sound, but its still a fun little track that bounces along nicely and creating a very joyful experience. Almost a continuation of the previous album thanks to its disco sound with lyrics that have a fairly universal message. Just an okay fun little number all round.
Love Affair
If there had been a contender for a 5th single then this fantastic electro pop number could have easily fitted the bill, with its perfectly crafted production with Kylie at her seductive best. This has a cool club style with trance like inflections that makes this a cracking offering and dare I say it yet another album highlight.
Your Love
Winding things down a bit with this stunning mid-tempo number, with a lilting guitar lends the song a blissed-out feel that's just perfect for chilling out. While this has the same kinda sound as the rest of the album and if this was recorded by a lesser artist then this would have risked sounded samey rather than succeeding at creating a cohesive body of work.
Burning Up
Ending the official version of the album with this awesome track that has the quite unusual teaming of acoustic verses with an upbeat dance chorus, that's full of funk, class and disco with high pitched notes reached by Kylie on the choruses and therefore creates one of the best tracks on here and again like many others on here, could have made an amazing single.
Tightrope
I've added this Australian bonus track to my version of this album and why the hell not, as this is a definite hidden gem in her discography with its beautifully calm opening bars then heads into a catchy dance/pop chorus with some solid production and while it may slightly differ from the sound of the album, this would have been a more than welcomed addition to this already wonderful body of work.
Posted by: pippa 5th May 2020, 05:21 PM
Fragile was positioned at the exact place it was needed on the album.
Give it To Me lacked identity and Come Into My World was taking a Can't Get You Out of My Head direction.
Fragile arrived in the middle of these, with a classy and gorgeous song showcasing Kylie's soothing vocals.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th May 2020, 06:19 PM
Looking back and thankfully i did appreciate it and soak it all up at the time, fever was huge, i remember really enjoying it as much as i could as knew that level of success wouldn't last forever. Kylie was so huge during that time, it was hit after hit after hit and the album chart run and sales were just great to watch and her finally winning some Brit awards was a highlight aswell.Cant get you out of my head brought a level of success to kylie that no one ever saw coming. I know light years was a big comeback (and a better album in my opinion) but Fever was a worldwide success. I remember at the height of its success i was like Kylie can now really really stick her 2 fingers up to all those that thought she was finished in the mid to late 90s'
Posted by: pippa 5th May 2020, 07:40 PM
That was an era Kylie fans cherished as it had:
Multi-Platinum Worldwide Sales.
Biggest hit of her career.
Returned Kylie to Number 1 in countries she hadn't managed for some time.
Hit after hit
Multiple Awards
Sold out concerts
Strong TV appearances
Extended run of top 10 singles
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th May 2020, 09:44 PM
I would love to have one more mega big era or even 1 more big smash hit.
Posted by: pippa 6th May 2020, 05:30 PM
Golden by sales and accolades was much lower, but, Golden brought big success in other ways and put Kylie back on the map again in many ways Kiss Me Once failed.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th May 2020, 06:39 PM
Golden was great and it did feel like kylie was properly back, fever just reached that massive success worldwide there was no getting away from kylie anywhere.
Posted by: pippa 6th May 2020, 07:53 PM
Golden debuting at Number 1 was a big important moment.
It showed Kylie can still achieve great success.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th May 2020, 11:03 PM
I always get excited and very excited when kylie gets a number 1, the first midweeks do be nerve wracking though. I was very disappointed kiss me once wasnt even in the shake out for number 1 so it was great golden flew away with it.
