It's so surreal to me.that just next week we'll be getting a brand new Kylord album :jonnyknife:

We used to be on the trenches with tragic management and underwhelming album in 2014 followed by an underperforming tour and a ******* Christmas album like a cherry on top. We all (and Kylie herself lbr) thought it was over and look at her now :jonny4:

Tbh the recording sessions for Kiss Me Once were good and a lot of great songs came from it. It's the song selections for the album that make no sense to me. (like many times in her career but here was even more tragic)

 

Songs Like Sparks, Golden Boy, Crystallize were rejected. Mr President was denied for the main album. These 4 songs alone are better than most of the album. Yet we got I Was Gonna Cancel...AS A SINGLE.

 

I'm always going to defend Into The Blue as a first single. I still love that song but everything that came after that was a no for me. 

 

I also never forgave them for not releasing the 4 songs she did for Sleepwalker.

 

As a stan, going from Aphrodite and Timebomb to the Kiss Me Once era and the failed Garibay sessions was so frustrating tbh.

She also has some of her best work hidden in that period though...

Honestly when you truly analyze this woman's career you're going to realize she always gives us bops. Even at some of her lowest points she's always creating something great. 
 

i feel like since Golden she never stopped and i love it!

we are not turning the T2 thread into a KMO rewrite/revisionism/autopsy thread

 

 In other news, the limited edition cds tracklist is the same as the main edition. So no extra tracks

I don't know if I should preorder the diamond cover cd... 18€ + 5 for shipping to Spain... I'll pass I guess? I hope her team puts out signed copies as I snatched a Tension one

i snatched the diamond cover, it's so beautiful :chick3:

Just ordered the Island Version :flame:

Regarding Kiss Me Once, I enjoyed the album and still enjoy it today way more than Golden and Disco.

 

Its release was severely mishandled by her team which definitely didn't know how to promote her at the time.

 

A few things to point out are:

- Into The Blue is one of her best tracks, deserved way better promo and should have gotten an ocean-themed MV

- Mr. President should have been on the standard tracklist and picked as a single for her US promo

- In The Name Of Love should have been on the album and picked as a single for Europe

- I Was Gonna Cancel should have been canceled from planet Earth the instant its recording was finished

does anyone have the alternative cvers in HQ?

It seems a tad pointless to have these editions with nothing new on any of them. Especially as the "Gemini" edition is just the standard cover

Like. Are they saving the signed ones for next week and maybe digital deluxe for release week? My guess is they're doing anything to buff up the numbers. 
 

There's honestly a lot of decent songs on KMO. Are they career defining? No. I don't get why there's such a stigma the gays put on for pop stars releasing basic dance music for fun and then when they go outside of the box they also hate it :rip:

KMO is enjoyable enough if you take it for what it is

oh signed copies are definitely coming, she mentioned on one of these last interviews she had been signing merch/albums. Bet they're saving them for release week to secure the #1 debut. Hoping we do get those 3 rumored songs somehow tho.

 

I'm certain they'll end up making a bundle with T1 & T2 down the line, probably next year to promote the tour

Sweet! That'd be amazing if they bundled the album together and tacked on some more deluxe tracks. And maybe Running:WAP:

I Was Gonna Cancel is a weird quirky bop and stands out in her discography, i'm glad it exists over a random 374th pop bop as much as we love them
