I listened to Kylie's new album 'X' (legally, streaming only so don't ask me to email you the songs) and I really like it.
The first single "2 Hearts" is very reminiscent of Goldfrapp and I'm not totally digging it yet, but I know that it'll have killer remixes that will have the dance floor heaving. Here's the brand new video that I'm also not totally into.
Other notable songs on the album are Heart Beat Rock, Sensitized, In My Arms, The One and Wow.
Here's a teeny-tiny picture of the album cover. So 80's, no?
Note to self: Having 4 glasses of vodka after 4 glasses of red wine is not good.
More information coming through on Kylie's new album, including
- 13 new songs, one of which (Sensitized) lists Guy Chambers (Robbie William's hit-making partner), Cathy Dennis (Kylie's regular songwriter of sorts) and get this, Serge Gainsbourg as writers. Which could only mean a sexy Gainsbourg lyric or melody which we can expect to hear sampled.
- This brand new image for the single that's decidedly very 80's.
- The album will also be released in the US, which means that Kylie will be busy, busy, busy promoting X.
- A somewhat bizarre (but interesting) online story speculates on 'X' as the chosen title for Kylie's 10th studio album. Besides being the Roman numeral for 10, the report makes a connection to Michael Hutchence (Kylie's ex): her new album will be released on the 10th anniversary of Michael's death (apparently from erotic auto-asphyxiation). And INXS, the band that Michael fronted, also had an album that was titled 'X'.
Whatever the case might be, the hype and buzz on X have started.
