February 23, 200916 yr Author She should NOT change her sound simply to 'break America' if they ain't interested they ain't interested, i'm not bothered and i'm sure she isn't either. she doesn't need to change her sound, she just needs to make it more urban....she has done that b4. i'm sure every artist dreams about making it in America, and since The US public is now very open to everything foreign, i'm sure that Kylie has a bigger shot now at conquering the US market again.... :cheer:
February 23, 200916 yr Author Personally, I loved 2 Hearts and I do hope she records more songs like that. it will be the quickest END for her career... '2 Hearts' is OK as a B-Side but it's definitly not single-material....
February 23, 200916 yr In hindsight, I'd have probably liked '2 Hearts' a lot more had it remained as an album track.
February 24, 200916 yr stuff like Speakerphone with some midtempos like Fragile and perhaps just one gorgeous ballad like Loving Days I absolutely can't stand "speakerphone". Its one of her worst tracks ever and is dull and boring. Most of the b sides from X are much better than this. It would be nice if she did some ballads, "flower" is an amazing song and I cant believe it missed the tracklisting when they included trash like speakerphone.
February 24, 200916 yr she doesn't need to change her sound, she just needs to make it more urban....she has done that b4 I would argue that by making her sound 'more urban' she'd be changing it; Kylie has always been most successful with pure pop music, 'Body Language' was viewed as an attempt at urban by Kylie and it wasn't very successful in Europe or in the US. They liked her dance/pop style more and we like that too so she should do that kind of sound again. Almost guaranteed success here, and a good stab at the US without compromising her sound.
February 27, 200916 yr I'd say Body Language was more slow and sexy electro-pop than 'urban'. I agree with what seejayjee said though, I'd rather she didn't go urban just to try and break America, she has a fantastic sound which works for her and she's successful enough in other territories without having to resort to that.
February 28, 200916 yr I dont get it when people say she should go Urban to break America. Why ?. She broke america where she did dance/pop. She then tried to go "american" with body language it to me it was a waste of time and produced her worst album.
March 3, 200916 yr I reckon then the general consensus is definitely to stay with pop music, but what kind of style? Dance-pop? Indie-pop? Electro-pop? I'd like a nice mix of dance and electro pop, like "Made Of Glass" or "B.P.M".
March 5, 200916 yr Fever and Body Language are my two fav albums from her---they are actually the only two albums I like. They have more of a dance/R&B flavor which I like. She needs to use some American producers like Pharrell. Also, I would like her to work with Xenomania for the dance cuts.
March 8, 200916 yr Author I dont get it when people say she should go Urban to break America. Why ?. She broke america where she did dance/pop. She then tried to go "american" with body language it to me it was a waste of time and produced her worst album. i didn't say i wanted her to go 100% urban ... i'm only saying that she should make an electro-urban pop album which is a mixture between some of her previous songs 'Sweet Music', 'Cruise Control' and stuff like Nelly Furtado's 'Loose' album ('Maneater', 'Do it, 'say it right')and Madonna's 'Hard Candy' ('She's not me', 'Give it 2 me'..) and Lady Gaga's debut album. so she would stay pop but yet work with urban producers...
March 8, 200916 yr I would be utterly mortified if she released an album like Hard Candy, it's not as if that did wonders for Madonna either did it? So what good would it do for Kylie? The pop sound seems to be more accepted in the US lately anyway and it's getting bigger, even less reason for Kylie to alter her sound to suit it.
March 9, 200916 yr Id hate Kylie to go in any way Urban. Pop/Dance has worked for her whole career including America. Dont see why is should chand now. I would love her to worl with Lady GaGa though.
