This campaign is starting to crumble before it starts. The promotion is not in sync at all and as a result the album is going to lose out on number 1, bad single strategies will result in no major hit and a disconnect in album sales. Four years waiting and returns with a shambolic release and promotion strategy is extremely underwhelming and bitterly disappointing.

How about enjoying the music instead? Kylie has been in the industry 26 years. She's endured flops more catastrophic than this in that time, and some of those were among her very best work. Ultimately she has nothing to prove anymore, and anyway this campaign is not DOA. She's still getting a #2 album, performing the next single on The Voice, unleashing a bunch of videos, belatedly starting promo. No need to go into panic mode just yet.

It's like a Parlo version of Impossible Princess and we all know that is her finest work.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM. Not sure where I'd rank it amongst her other ones as I've not heard them all, and I've not listened to the ones I have heard in quite a while (plus it's a bit too early for that right now I guess), but it's a VERY strong and consistent album for the most part. Into the Blue, Sexy Love and If Only are my highlights, not sure what else as nothing stands out massively to me, but as a whole it's very enjoyable. Beautiful is a crap choice for single 2 though, it's gonna do absolutely nothing...

 

I'm foaming at the mouth. *.*

 

Brings the song to life, ace.

 

Apparently the other interpretations are released tomorrow. Confused as to whether this is a single release or just a publicity sexercise ;-)

Ps. "Sleeping With The Enemy" is lush!

REALLY should have been on the main album itself, such a good track. Really credible sounding too.

Apparantly 9,000 behind George Michael now.

:lol: gotta laugh about it haven't you?

Very comfortably #2, so that's pleasing!

The video for 'Sexercize' has helped boost my opinion on the song, to be honest I'd go as far as saying it would make a good single!

 

'Sleeping with the Enemy' reminds me slightly of Emeli Sande's 'Heaven' in terms of the beat.

EDIT: Okay, is that Kylie naked at 1:15 of 'Sexercize'?! :o

I agree the campaign is poor and promotion has been crap but I actually also think the style and direction of the album is to blame. As a long time Kylie fan, I feel very underwhelmed by her new album and feel she has once again tried to stay relevant by releasing something aimed for the younger market rather than aiming for something which is more credible and in line with her age and ability. There is no real substance or emotions to the songs and I feel she has lost something special right now. I think the time has come for her to move record label and hopefully sooner than later....

No offense, but I have seen you say the same thing numerous times now, surely once is enough? We all know you don't like the album.

No offense, but I'm getting fed up with you making comments like that to me on here. I'm entitled to my opinion, regardless of whether you think its the same type of comments and you don't have to read it if you don't like it.

 

You made pretty much the same comment in the Sunday Chart thread, I just don't see the point in saying it everywhere you go.

yass

 

in love with the 'Sexercize' video tbh. it's like a FAR SUPERIOR version of 'Chocolate' (and a steamier version of the 'Red Blooded Woman' segment on the Showgirl tour) :wub:

I think its my choice about what I put in different threads - like I said you don't have to agree or read my comments if you don't like them. A lot of your comments are also very similar regarding different artists but I don't complain and I think you need to respect that other people have different view points. I've had this issue with you before and if you continue to single me out like this then I will make a complaint to a more senior person on this site.
