KYLIE'S X FACTOR!
02.10.2007

WATCH out, fellas - Kylie’s feeling frisky.

ABOVE: BACK WITH A BANG: Kylie's comeback album is full of sex, sex, sex

The theme of comeback album X, out November 26, is sex, sex and, OK, a bit of romance, too. Just check out the lyrics.

It’s the most anticipated record of the year and we’ve had the world-exclusive first listen to EVERY?track.

Her ex, Oliver Martinez, 41, will be kicking himself that he let the sizzling singer slip through his fingers, as Kylie is keen on between-the-sheets action now she’s back to her pop star best. She’s dabbled with R&B but kept true to her classic style. Kylie will trounce rivals. And first up is Britney, who she goes head-to-head with on a Bonfire Night single release.

I expect her to take X on a tour that will out-sauce Madonna’s planned 2008 extravaganza. Thanks to a well-placed source at her label, I’m able to present this essential track-by-track guide...

2 HEARTS

Driven by a glam-tastic piano line, the album’s first single is the quintessential Kylie pop song.

As she sings: "I’m in love", on the chorus, a killer hook kicks in, then a backing, "Wooo", which will have you singing along from the first ­listen.

Everything we love about Kylie comes flooding back in an instant on this sure-fire No 1 hit.

KEY LYRIC: You make me invisible, like the sky you make my day.

LIKE A DRUG

Starting with a thudding bass drum and an array of futuristic electro noises, this immediately comes across as a Madonna-esque dance track, complete with breathy vocals over a pounding beat.

This is the sound of Kylie at her flirtiest - will be great in a crowded club.

KEY LYRIC: Damn right I have my radar on you, so let’s get physical. I want to, want to.

IN MY ARMS

A spoken word intro from Kylie quickly gives way to an explosion of disco synths and a wave of classic dance pop with a huge chorus.

It’s clear by this point that this is an album that will be dominating dancefloors for some time to come.

Written by Richard Stannard, who also wrote Kylie’s In Your Eyes, this is the album’s stand-out track - a swirly pop masterpiece.

KEY LYRIC: How does it feel in my arms? Do you want it, do you need it, can you feel it? Tell me...

SPEAKERPHONE

THE most radical track on the album, starting with, of all things, a plucking harp, before a call and response vocal from Kylie kicks in.

Her light voice calls out words while a heavily vocodered voice responds.

Kylie’s vocal is at times almost unrecognisable on a track that sounds more like Daft Punk’s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger than any Minogue track we’ve heard to date.

KEY LYRIC: Drop your socks and grab your mini boombox/Play it on your speakerphone, set your mind on freaky mode, where’d you wanna go?

SENSITIZED

A driving anthem, filled with stabbing strings and distinctly Eastern feel.

A good song, but given that it was written by Cathy "Can’t Get You Out Of My Head" Dennis and Guy "Angels" Chambers, you’d be forgiven for being a bit underwhelmed.

KEY LYRIC: I can’t hold back, the minute I try, baby you flip the switch and I’m sensitized.

HEART BEAT ROCK

Written by pop’s man of the moment, Calvin "Accep-table in the Eighties" Harris, this is a sexy, flirty track with Kylie speak-rapping over Calvin’s funky beat.

Kylie sounds like she’s taking her cue from sexy French rapper Uffie as squelchy synths become the order of the day.

A real ass shaker - would make a great ­single.

KEY LYRIC: I’ve been around the world, but I’m not those other girls/I’m feeling special/Do you like what you see?

THE ONE

Starting with a dreamy organ intro, this quickly bursts into a full-on, nostalgic Eighties love anthem, complete with a new wave guitar line and two-note beeping melody played over a thumping bass track. All that’s missing is the Neighbours perm and Jason Donovon.

The theme of the album by this point seems to be longing. Is Kylie really so lonely?

KEY LYRIC: Love me, love me, love me... I’m the one.

NO MORE RAIN

Opening with an acoustic guitar intro reminiscent of Madonna’s Ray Of Light, it hits a heavily-layered-vocal chorus with a slightly Eastern feel that’s reminiscent of Madonna’s Ray Of Light before Kylie starts singing about the "sun coming up on another day", reminiscent of" you guessed it...

A great track, but isn’t this just a slowed down version of Ray Of Light?

KEY LYRIC: Love carries a hurt that you hold, funny how life can unfold.

ALL I SEE

After all that dance, a well-timed change in pace sees what should be Kylie’s first massive R&B hit.

A soulful bassline and light piano melody compose the kind of laid-back track you’d expect to find on a Rihanna or Beyoncé record.

Kylie’s voice sounds deeper than we’re often used to hearing - it comes as a great response to critics who say she’s not versatile.

A strong radio track, and very different to the rest of the record.

KEY LYRIC: I don’t want you to rush cos you’re feeling like heaven to me/Follow the ribbon we’ll keep it real close, in the dark anything goes.

STARS

While there’s nothing wrong with this fine pop effort, this track essentially epitomises the dance template the Kylie has been using since 2001 - a thudding drumbeat, layers of synths and a climbing guitar-line and Kylie’s gentle voice - without offering anything particularly new.

KEY LYRIC: Open your mind’s eye and light up familiar faces, because in time you’ll find life and all of its graces.

WOW

The second track on the album to show a heavy homage to Daft Punk’s seminal Discovery album - this time taking its cue from the French duo’s One More Time anthem.

The track gives the album a welcome shot in the arm as it nears the end, and is clearly the album’s feel-good party song.

Its funky bassline is guaranteed to get you on the dancefloor.

KEY LYRIC: The way you walk/The rhythm when you’re dancing/Every inch of you spells out desire/ You’re wow, wow, wow, wow.

NU-DI-TY

Starting with a slow and sleazy, dirty beat, this is essentially a house track with Kylie’s vocals cut up and distorted on top.

Urban synths meet with sampled elephant noises, while "whoops" over the top result in the singer’s most bizarre track to date.

Very out of step with the rest of the album.

KEY LYRIC: Time to strip down/Just pop that zipper for me and work that thing out/Just expose it.

COSMIC

Just when it looked like the one thing this brilliant album was missing was a huge, anthemic ballad, Kylie saves the best for last.

Huge soaring strings and dramatic key changes collide on the singer’s most heartfelt work in years.

A hugely emotional tale of love and regret.

KEY LYRIC: Wasn’t it

Just my choice to make, the bed in which I lay? I put these things aside for years/Till laughter took the place of tears/It’s like I was asleep/But now I’m here.

Vor laufender Kamera
01.10.2007

Bald erscheint die lang ersehnte Dokumentation über Kylie Minogue. Doch jetzt ließ die Sängerin in letzter Minute heikle Szenen entfernen.

Kylie Minogue

Am 16. Oktober ist es soweit: Wie die Internetausgabe der britischen Zeitung "The Sun" berichtet, kommt an diesem Tag nämlich Kylie Minogues Dokumentation "White Diamond" in England heraus. Tapfer: Die australische Sängerin erlaubte ihrem guten Freund und Stylisten William Baker, die Zeit ihres Kampfes gegen den Brustkrebs zu filmen. Auch die Trennung von ihrem ehemaligen Verlobten Olivier Martinez fällt in diese Zeitspanne - verständlich also, dass nicht nur Fans der Sängerin den Film mit Spannung erwarten.

Doch die werden jetzt womöglich enttäuscht werden: Quasi in letzter Sekunde ließ Kylie einige heikle Szenen rausschneiden. Streitereien mit Martinez und der danach völlig aufgelösten Sängerin werden nun nicht mehr zu sehen sein - ein feiner Schachzug von Kylie. Olivier wäre ansonsten wahrscheinlich nicht gut weggekommen. Ob das vielleicht auch als ein erneuter Liebesbeweis gedeutet werden kann? Eigentlich hatte sich das Paar Anfang des Jahres offiziell getrennt. Die Gerüchte über eine mögliche Wiedervereinigung sind allerdings bis heute nicht vollends verstummt ...

Heulkrampf zensiert!
01.10.2007

Es sollte eine bewegende Filmdokumentation über ihr Leben werden. Doch im letzten Moment ließ Kylie Minogue alle verfänglichen Szenen radikal herausschneiden.

Kylie will nicht alles zeigen (Bild: EMI Music)

Das Filmmaterial sollte zeigen, was für eine starke Frau sie ist: Kylie Minogue ließ ihren Comeback-Kampf nach dem Brustkrebs von einem Kamerateam begleiten, das ihr Leben 24 Stunden lang dokumentieren sollte. Doch wie die US-Zeitung "News Of The World" berichtet, machte sie kurz vor der Veröffentlichung einen Rückzieher.

Das muss raus!
Pikante Szenen eines Wutausbruchs wegen ihres Ex-Freundes Olivier Martinez mussten zensiert werden, außerdem wurde die Stelle herausgeschnitten, in der Kylie während eines emotionalen Telefonats mit dem Schauspieler zusammenbrach. Auch ein brisantes Interview mit ihrem Ex-Freund Jason Donovan wird nicht in der Endversion zu sehen sein. Allerdings durfte das Kamerateam während eines Kostümwechsels Teile ihres Körpers filmen, die stark vom Krebs gezeichnet sind. Mitte Okotber wird "White Diamond" in Großbritannien zu sehen sein.

All I See

The film shows Kylie as never before with intimate close up back stage footage and interviews including Kylie talking about her feelings, worries and aspirations on how she and her team take Showgirl from rehearsals to the road first in Australia and then to the UK.

The film will be premiered at Vue cinemas across the UK on October 16th, with a DVD release planned for December. The DVD will feature 2 discs, with Showgirl Homecoming Live (recorded in Melbourne, Australia December 2006) as the second disc.

Kylie setzt mit neuem Album "X" auf neue Härte und bewährte Süße
13.09.2007

Nach vier Jahren veröffentlicht Kylie Minogue am 23. November wieder ein neues Album. "X", so der Titel, was zum einen für die römische Zahl zehn steht - denn es ist Kylies insgesamt zehntes Studioalbum - so wie auch für den Namen, den Kylie-Fans dem erhofften neuen Album schon seit Monaten gegeben haben.

Seit "Body Language" von 2003 ist es die erste CD mit neuen Titeln, nachdem die australische Pop-Sängerin 2004 ein "greatest Hits" Album namens "Ultimate Kylie" veröffentlicht hatte. Im Kölner Turm gab es am Dienstag ein exklusives erstes Hineinhören in die "neue Kylie".

Mit der Single "2 Hearts" gibt Kylie schon ab Anfang November einen Vorgeschmack auf ein Album, mit dem sie sich in mancher Hinsicht völlig neu orientiert. So kann man sich zwar insgesamt gewohnt-bewährte Disco-Beats mit Kylies süß dazu gehauchten Texten erwarten, mit der ersten Singleauskopplung schlägt die 39-jährige Pop-Queen dennoch eine ganz neue Schneise: Statt fröhlichem Party-Sound bietet sie etwas dunklere und härtere Töne mit einem gewissen Hang zur souligen Melancholie. Doch sie wäre nicht Kylie Minogue, wenn man nicht trotzdem dazu tanzen könnte.

Die 13 neuen Nummern wurden in London, Stockholm und Ibiza aufgenommen. Viele hat die Sängerin mitgeschrieben. Ihre Handschrift tragen sämtliche neuen Lieder aber schon durch ihre unverwechselbare Stimme, die sich mühelos an die teils harten Tanz-Beats anschmiegt.

Neben dem neuen Album ist Kylie Minogue auch in der neuen Doku "White Diamond" zu sehen, ein Film, der einen Einblick in ihre triumphale Rückkehr ins Showbusiness nach ihrer Brustkrebserkrankung mit der "Showgirl Homecoming"-Tour von 2006 zu geben versucht. Interviews, und Backstage-Aufnahmen zeigen die Pop-Ikone in "ungekannter Intimität", wie man gestern bei ihrem Label EMI verkündete, wenn die Sängerin von den ersten Proben bis zur Tour durch Australien und Großbritannien begleitet wird. Ab November wird der Film in den Kinos zu sehen sein, auch eine DVD-Edition mit Extra-Material der Tournee ist für Dezember geplant.
