Relisten #5: Body Language & X (28/10/20 at 7:30pm)

[Raining on Me]

It's a great album and I can see why it's up there as a fan favourite. The production is full of all sorts of layered sounds, beats, synths, blips and blops and it's just a very melodic pop-funk-rnb combo, the sound of Kylie not actually trying too hard, but just cruising along nicely and taking a break from disco stunners. Which is damn fine to me once in a while

I actually love X, but I'm looking forward to rediscovering just HOW disjointed it is as an album... it really does feel like someone hit the Shuffle button on a playlist

This sounds like it has high potential with me!

 

[Beverley]

BEVERLEY IS THE KING QUEEN AROUND HERE.

Thanks bitch.

 

[Eddie]

X is Kylie’s JUKEBOX album basically,

 

[COB]

Still obsessed with the X AESTHETIC to this day

 

[Eddie]

Thanks bitch.

Actually I just noticed you dissed X.

You’re just a queen then.

 

[Jark]

X is Kylie’s JUKEBOX album basically,

Yeah, except the jukebox ran out of good songs at the halfway point.

[Eddie]

When are we pressing play?

 

[SDF]

I’ve started 2 hearts, but I love it so much I’ll repeat it at 2030 x

 

[COB]

Half past!

 

[Eddie]

Yeah, except the jukebox ran out of good songs at the halfway point.

I have grown to love some of the songs. Some I still dislike.

 

[Beverley]

Actually I just noticed you dissed X.

You’re just a queen then.

 

[Jark]

anyway let's see for ourselves and dive back into the highs and the horrors in real-time GO!

 

[Beverley]

I really want to listen to that terrible Liberty X track now

 

[Eddie]

When this album HITS it DOESN’T RELENT!!

 

[POP!]

"2 Hearts" -

I always start with "Like a Drug"

 

[SDF]

Oh pressing play again

 

[Eddie]

2 Hearts is NOT one of those hits though!!

 

[lolly]

Here for X

(semi )

 

[SDF]

10 2 Hearts

 

[COB]

Now I enjoy 2 Hearts quite a lot, but what a WEIRD way to relaunch yourself after everything that had happened.

 

[Jark]

now, is 2 Hearts a bad song? no. did I expect more from the news that she'd worked with Kish Mauve and Jim Eliot? yes. did I play the demo/original and delude myself that it would be totally revamped into a disco banger for Kylie? also yes. and do I quite enjoy listening to it regardless? again, yes.

but as the lead single from Kylie's highly-anticipated post-cancer comeback record? THIS is what you serve?

...bitch. please.

07 2 Hearts

 

[Beverley]

2 Hearts. WHELMED. MAYBE

 

[Eddie]

She performs it fabulously and with real GUSTO but on record, I cannot believe this was written by the same people who wrote All The Lovers.

 

[Raining on Me]

I'm careful with my 10s unlike you 10/11/13 spunkers but I love how Kylie always gives me at least one 10 each album. ALWAYS

 

[Eddie]

07 2 Hearts

 

[POP!]

Oh I forgot I quite like "2 Hearts" when the chorus hits. WOOO!!!!!

It's just not what we thought we wanted from Kylie in 2007 but she gave us anyway.

 

[Beverley]

When this album HITS it DOESN’T RELENT!!

But when it STARTS it SHARTS

 

[Eddie]

Like A Drug SLAPS

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

09 - 2 Hearts

 

[Ig Komme]

I really like 2 Hearts too! Don't understand what is wrong with it!

 

[COB]

Also let's not forget that DOCTOR WHO WAS THE PROMO this era

 

[lolly]

It's not bad. But it was a horrible misstep when she should have had a huge hit. I think one of the worst decisions of her career.

 

[lolly]

07 2 Hearts

 

[Eddie]

10 2 Hearts

 

[Beverley]

Okay so LIKE A DRUG is where the album starts for me

And those opening bars of the PUSSY POPPING SYNTHS

 

[COB]

I forget the order of this album (), are we getting Like A Drug followed immediately by Speakerphone? FUCK ME if so

 

[SDF]

Oh my god Like A Drug is truly orgasmic

 

[SDF]

10 Like a Drug
