Kylie-X
The princes of pop proudly presents her 10th album. With its breathy promises ("I turn on for you"), and song titles such as Nu-di-ty, it would be fair to assume you were in for some fairly steamy stuff on Kylie's 10th album. In fact, X really plays with a PG rating; Kylie's flimsy voice combined with the album's swirling strings and lite-beats tend to evoke images of hairdressing salons rather than hot passion. That said, there are some stand-out pop moments; the glitchy Heart Beat Rock is produced by pop whiz kid Calvin Harris, and Like A Drug sounds like a smooth, grooving update of Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams. Sampling Serge Gainsbourg's quivering strings for sensitized, however, only serves to highlight the album's lack of truly kneewobbling moments.
