funky does Kylie: "DISCO" (2020)

funky said:
99 The One - I actually don't have any words to describe how amazing this is. The first bars just HIT ME after that nonsense previous song. At this point in her career I don't think Kylie could have provided a more perfect song. I can only begin to think how stratospheric it would have been as a first single to sit alongside the megahits of the last 3 albums. I can only assume everyone on team Kylie felt it was too similar. But when you have a song THIS BIG in the palm of your hands, you don't waste it. Just utter insanity. Or is that in-san-ity

I haven't decided yet but this might be the next song to dethrone my current number one on my Kylie hit list.

I can never decide whether I prefer the album of Freemasons Mix of The One. I think it’s the latter- but just. They’re both incredible.
 
08 No More Rain - I like this as well. Sgt Pepper mixed with WIlliam Orbit mixed with a sprinkling of Kylie campness. It actually works. The vocal is lovely. If we're going to push the Goldfrapp comparisons this is a better effort, although it wouldn't have worked as a single either, it's a bit light for a single. But it's still gorgeous.

99+ The One (Freemasons mix)

It's very rare when a song and its remix can be equally perfect. There are a handful of examples. Might make a good thread topic, that.

I seem to remember the first time I ever heard The One in any form, it was a video of bears at XXL dancing to the Freemasons mix the first time it was ever played :D
 
06 All I See - erm what is this and why is it on this album :D :D SCREAMING! I mean I like it obvsiously but I had to check my spotify to see if it had decided it didn't want to play Kylie any more and put on a random Christina Milian track. Rodney Jerkins called and wants his demos back! Oh Kylie, who does your track ordering, love? It's making me twitchy.

I think this was the album's biggest SOP to the American market :D There was a weird black and white video with her mincing around in an S&M-like outfit too like a low-rent Janft.
 
07 Stars - and just like that she goes back to some indie pop as though the last 3 minutes of hoping for a place on Trevor Nelson's Friday Night Mix never happened. This feels a lot more on brand obviously. Personally I think the guitars a bit overdone on this track and would work better without them. But I do like it. I particularly like the echoey Stars dont shine hooks. Very nice.

Now I see that Funky insulting Turn It Into Love and Your Disco Needs You was actually him edging us for this moment
 
04 Wow - I'm sorry gays I've just never liked this. The chorus really annoys me, the production annoys me and the ubiquity in various cheesy adverts and promos makes it even worse. I'm glad it saved the album campaign or whatever as it's very funforhousewives but I just don't get it.
