Posted March 18, 20214 yr o_kNnUoZ38o Today marks 30 years since Dannii's debut single 'Love & Kisses' was released in the UK. It had first been released in Australia in February 1990 when it reached #4 and was certified Gold; in the UK, it was remixed by Dancin' Danny D and reached #8. It was the 99th best selling single of 1991 and is Dannii's fifth best seller. 30 years on, what are your thoughts and memories of 'Love & Kisses'?
March 19, 20214 yr I wasn’t a big fan of the first two albums. Only started to really like Dannii when she became more I credible with All I wanna do. Girl and Neon lights are great albums!
March 19, 20214 yr I didnt like her first 2 albums either and still dont, its a shame she didnt start off with more memorable music that gave her big hits to start with as i feel her early success with singles were all with passive songs that the general public wouldnt even know of which made it harder for her sustain her music career. I agree that Girl and Neon Nights are her highlights and so much better than her first 2 albums.
March 19, 20214 yr As a six year old when this was released, I was the perfect audience for the fairly naive, simplistic lyrics. So I have a soft spot for this one. It's got quite a catchy little groove to it too. Edited March 19, 20214 yr by McAndrew
March 19, 20214 yr I just didnt take to Dannii at all in her early days and for me the singles got worse as she went on, this is it caught my attention but then didnt like what followed, thank god who do you love now came along.
March 19, 20214 yr Iconic - of course it’s very much of its time and has aged terribly BUT it was pop perfection when it was released.
March 20, 20214 yr Love the debut Dannii era. Dannii used to dance her arse off and bought the new jacks swing sound to the UK in 91 way before it popped in 1993. She worked with very trendy DJ’s like Bruce Forest and Silk Hurley yet people pass this album off as pop fluff (i guess it had its moments). The album is still her biggest sellar in the UK even though its often reported that NN sold more.

With that said, I miss the days when 18 year olds could just be 18 year olds and not "old souls" and all that crap. I appreciate the fact that it all feels very age appropriate. :music:
March 21, 20214 yr I remain disappointed Love and Kisses remains Dannii's highest selling album as Neon Nights deserves that title.

Me too - it’s so of it’s time and has dated horribly but that’s what’s so good about it, it’s just a good pop/dance album without trying to be anything else.
June 3, 20214 yr 30 Years since the UK release. With these moves Dannii used to rock , i am still hoping she will sign for strictly one day or even the masked dancer. Will stick this album on later 🥰

Will stick this album on later 🥰 I really wonder if she'd ever do a show as a contestant at this point tbh - maybe for charity, but she's pretty much firmly positioned herself in the judges chair at this point.
June 3, 20214 yr It seems crazy to think this album was released just as I was about to start primary school, so naturally I wasn't aware of it and had no idea who she was at he time. :lol:
June 3, 20214 yr I was starting secondary school when this came out, i remember dannii coming on the music so well and the press doing their best to portray Kylie and Dannii did not get along.
June 8, 20214 yr Love that Dannii still highlights anniversaries on her social media View this post on Instagram
