Cohesive doesn't always mean better quality. Aphrodite is a good album but it can get a bit dull and repetitive. The reason I adore X and KMO so much is because of their

general lack of cohesiveness.

 

I see what you are saying. There are some strong songs on x but overall Aphrodite is my favourite parlophone album. I like every track on the album and it's pretty solid. I also like the way she was marketed during that era as a Greek godess on album cover. I think the image suited her.

Aphrodite is cohesive but some of the songs aren't as strong, I do love listening to that album in the summer though. :heart:

Did I say I won't listen to the album until it actually comes out? :lol:

 

10 Into the Blue

09 Million Miles

11 I Was Gonna Cancel (Can't get enough of it!)

09 Sexy Love

06 Sexercize

07 Feels So Good

11 If Only

08 Les Sex

10 Kiss Me Once (Brilliant but I kinda have a Christmas feeling from the song)

00 Beautiful

08 Fine

 

It's a strong grower overall. Hopefully it will have steady chart run but provided that her record company wants to ruin the album with that terrible duet, I don't hold much hope.

Sleeping With The Enemy and Mr President are now out there too.

I am seriously loving this album.

 

I was Gonna Cancel and Les Sex are early faves but all of it is great. Just a slight lean towards rnb and it has made a welcome change. Still resolutely Kylie but not as pop as Aphrodite. The songs are definitely stronger sonically. A really solid quality collection.

 

The only minor gripe I have is the at times sqeaky, girly vocals. She can do better but think it would put off casual fans.

What does everyone think of "Mr President"?

 

 

For some reason, "Sexy Love" has that "Feel so good" vibe (her version, not AK) and "Kiss me once" feels like a Christmas song with the jingle bell sound.

By the way, she did a session on Spotify.

 

1. Can't get you out of my head

2. Into the blue

3. Kiss me once

4. Beautiful

I received her CD this morning. All pictures are great, but I miss song lyrics. They should have left two sides of pictures and add lyrics instead.

A little underwhelmed on first listen, hopefully it'll all grow on me soon.

I definitely won't.

I thought i was alone in feeling underwhelmed by the album. The reviews all appear strong so i really will have to give the album a few listens and see if it catches on with me.

 

"I Will Cancel" for single two :wub:

You want a brand new song for single 2?

Regina, stop being a pedantic twat everytime somebody makes a typo. You're spoiling threads for people.

 

In other news "Feels so Good" is ridiculously amazing and has that cool spring-summer vibe (as well as being something a bit different for Kylie) that would make it the perfect second single.

Jark, I don't appreciate your tone, consider this a polite warning.

I find Regina amusing, tbh. Then again, I'm not everywhere on Buzzjack.

Really? I think it'll get mixed reviews.

Agree (with both points)

 

Feels so Good is probably the song I am most excited to hear in full! (I know the album is available to listen but I'm waiting for the release eeeek)
