Kern Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I was kinda hoping for Tension either the track or the album to be nominated for the Grammys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love the rest. it feels and sounds consistent and meaty and cohesive just not with the tracks above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Air Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Just my two cents but I think changing the Hands lyrics to Right, yeah, everything I do is so right, yeah Kylie, I'm that cherry on top of the cake would've made it more iconic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried listening to the album (I have it on vinyl) but I just don't get attached to any of the songs other than those two. It's true that the first and second single doesn't set the tone for the whole album, but I guess that's not entirely bad. After a long time of replaying this album non-stop, I can say that my only problem is that some of the songs have great productions, others have nice ideas but the whole songs are not that it, and some deserved a place in a different order on the tracklist. However, I don't feel it's a bad album, it just feels a little more generic of what we expected. The fans really set the bar high when this was first announced. It's a good project and especially after her country-dance, and disco themes (it's closer to her usual sound), she recorded an album which felt more Kylie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianNicki Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I think it's good that the whole album is not like Padam and Tension. If the whole album was just club/house music it would be exhausting to listen to. Even Renaissance, which is mostly club/house album, had r&b, afrobeat and hiphop influences to make the album more diverse. The only change I would make personally is including Heavenly Body on the standard version and perhaps replacing You Still Get Me High and Green Light/Somebody to Love with More Than a Feeling and To Be in Love. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
