Where The Wild Roses Grow :wub:

Where The Wild Roses Grow & Especially For You leading the way

Had expected In Denial to have possibly got better votes than it has.

Do you know if there is any duet partner Kylie has not met in person (yet)?

I do believe i read Kylie and Keith Washington never met.

I know during the recording they never met but they may have afterwards.

Nick Cave is one artist that Kylie duetted with that appears to have resulted in a genuine friendship and respect.

A duet that in many ways was a career changer for Kylie.

Tried to narrow it down to a Top 5 but it was too hard leaving any of these out:

 

Devotion

Especially for You

Music's Too Sad Without You

Shocked

Stop Me From Falling

The Other Boys

Where the Wild Roses Grow

Your Body

 

'Especially for You' and 'Where the Wild Roses Grow' are classic Kylie duets; each artist brings something to the song and you can't picture them working as solo pieces. The chemistry in 'Especially for You' is magical and it's a song that really warms the heart. Then there's the contrast of dark Nick and sweet Kylie in 'Where the Wild Roses Grow' which really brings emotion and perspective to the storytelling.

 

All the others are fantastic. 'Your Body' in particular has to be one of my favourite Kylie songs of recent times.

Some of my favourite duets are ( in no order )

In denial

 

In denial really should have been a single, ive always been a huge fan of it and listen to it alot.

In Denial is beautiful and haunting and a strong song.

It should have got a single release and i believe there was rumour it was scheduled to be a single but was cancelled.

 

 

I'm curious as to whether it was ever considered to be a single. It doesn't really do much for me but I think it was worth a shot. Pet Shop Boys were performing pretty similarly to Kylie chart-wise at this point so it could have been what they both needed.

At the time they both needed it as fans of both would have bought the cd single version and it would have the lowest made Top 15 but likely Top 10.

Both were managing just to make the Top 15 at the time, I guess it wouldn't take much for both fanbases to get the song in the Top 10. It may have still bombed down the chart but at least Top 10 looks nicer than #14.

It may not have become a huge hit but most likely no less successful than other Pet Shop Boys releases at that time.

A 2 CD set single and combined fan base would have got in denial a low top 10 position easily enough. It wasnt to be though but I still love it.

This!! The song was crying out to be a hit - as you said a CD set, iTunes remix EP etc., would have charted it from fan base alone even if it ended up plummeting. Such a beautiful track and one I still listen to a lot :wub:

It's a stunning song that has aged very well and I think a few believe it was a missed opportunity.

I can only agree about the song aging well, it sounds just as good now as back when it was recorded.

In Denial deserved the success the much inferior Higher achieved.
