  1. One of my most memorable albums ever. Charlene was EVERYWHERE in 1989, wasn't she?! This album solidified her legit entry as an honorary Brit - she was on all the UK talk shows, she had about 9-10 months of Neighbours (in the UK) left.... listening to this album overall takes me back to those amazing days. I'd play this and Jason's "10 good reasons" back to back.... SAW were peaking. Lovely times. As an album, I think it's dated better than the 1st. The first 3 singles, "over dreaming" and the title track are still favourites.
  2. It's a catchy song but very disposable Euro trash.
  3. Per bebe’s insta story, she’s in th uk atm so she may just show up for Kylie’s BST gig
  4. I was always hoping that if she were going to duet, then it would be with somebody a bit more famous, and maybe someone who could get her a legit UK hit again (let’s face it - she can try all she wants for the US but it wont work). Bebe has had like less than 5-10 UK top hits and is hardly a force. Don’t even know about Tovelo’s UK chart history.
  5. Awful combo. Kylie should have chosen someone else.
  6. Wish they’d make it available on the new chart week. Don’t know why she’s still so focused on a Thursday release. Either way I’m looking forward to this release assuming it’s part of a proper new campaign and not a one off collab. Also i haven’t been to sayhey in a while and I’m having login issues. Any scoop there? Or just the usual drama?
  7. It’s always about the money! I doubt any other western celeb would want to go to a N African or Arab country otherwise to tour or perform.
  8. As she did with the X sessions in 2007-8, she seems to be recording with every other producer or duetting with every other artist but God only knows which of these will see the light of day.
  9. They're trying to make this go viral with dance moves and all, but I don't know if it'll work again
  10. https://watch.grammymuseum.org/videos/a-con...h-kylie-minogue I quite liked it - very little "cliched" stuff that she was spouting during the Tension release promo (Padam, tiktok, "what advice would you give your 18yo self?", etc.). If anything, in retro, it was fun listening to the scoops on how a lot of the songs came to be. Esp "Story" and "One more time". I had no idea Vegas High was finished that quickly! Overall, great interview.
  11. I can't wait for a (Potential) video to drop! I can see this going UK top 40 with the right kind of promo. It would've been easier if this dude was on the same label as Kylie's.
  12. In the current form, it's certainly not dance'y enough to be added to a pride playlist or party. Get the remixes out soon! As someone pointed out (here or on SH), Peck isn't on Kylie's record label so they don't care enough to spend time/money on promo for the song (best case, a friendly tweet). Kylie looks like she did it for fun ( and for a slow streamer, to a new/country audience) so doubt there'll be any big promo. So yes, word of mouth and radio play are the only 2 avenues here. Kylie and her label are saving her promo appearances for when her solo stuff comes out.
  13. This is very good actually, given that the song is mostly credited to an artist, who, let's face it is rather obscure.
  14. I'm sure she'll perform this at next week's BST. Wonder who the special guest will be (I know I'd said Jake Shears earlier) but do wonder.... so that'll be good publicity. Given that radio is ageist, R1 may not play a "Kylie" song but hopefully they play this as a Diplo song featuring Kylie (much like the Weekend/ Madge song got R1 airplay)
  15. This! This Orville guy and his label seem more organised than Sia so hopefully remixes and all coming soon. Sia (and her label) probably know that she won't achieve high chart positions so they're ok with a slow trickle.
  16. I do like the song but it’s generic enough that it really needs a lot of visibility or a TikTok trend to get people to notice it. It’s no Padam (I’m not comparing it , but just saying that PP was a song so diff to what’s out there in the charts thaf people would just notice). This to me is like Anne Marie Unhealthy : country laced pop bop. Could go either way.

    So I finally got around to hearing it. I love Raye, I still play her Rudimental song "Regardless" in addition to several others. But I'm sorry, this is is just narcissistic self indulgent mess. It would work well as a live medley but in today's "swipe culture" everything quick and fast generation, I don't see them investing in a song that changes sounds so suddenly.
  18. When do we get our first streaming update?
  19. I can imagine her performing with Jake shears as surprise guest at next weeks BST!
  20. Her chemistry with this Orville dude reminds me in a way of her chemistry with Jake Shears from scissor Sisters. At least it's definitely a nice collab, something I certainly wasn't expecting. I was thinking another "cold" Padam style banger.
