OK allow me to fangirl a bit because Music's Too Sad is such a special song - I was actually a bit shocked.mp3 when i heard it because her vocal in places is serving 90s Kylie, which was when her vocals were peak. I adore her lower register.

The second bridge where she does the high harmony over Jack is quietly spectacular.

It really feels like a lost gem recovered from '97. It also sold really well and is the album's 2nd biggest hit which probably indicates that she could/should have pursued this Hot AC sound further. Easily her best album closer since Light Years.

Love the production on The Music's Too Sad Without You. It's a stunning song. They sound fantastic together. I'd say it is unlike any other song she has done before.

Wow so different to how I've always seen it. I need to go back to it with these in mind.
 
obvs she can do songs like Lost Without You in her sleep and it is really nice and sparkly etc but I don't find it that special? she's done it better before. still it should have made the main album and been a single. yes, I'm contrary.

There are a group of Kylie songs that would be magical on the soundtracks of classic 80s films. This is one of them.

10 - Lost Without You - I love it, like everyone, and it was of course what I wanted from her. But Shelby 68 is my 11 because I just connect more.

Some people hear country influences on Every Little Part Of Me. Honestly? I don't.

It's a bop but it doesn't fit.

OMG Rollin' is so much better than Dancing. Despite being the same song.

I'm so glad I didn't skip this Eddie as it's been a necessary reevaluation. In my mind I'd made this album much more average than it really is.
 
Rollin would have been the perfect track to close the set given its similarity to Dancing. Fantastic bookends.

As it stands I really do like it. That chorus is pretty difficult to deny.
 
Low Blow is so WHITE LADY AT A BBQ FUNK.

A bit MEGHAN TRAINOR, but without driving me to suicide.

Lyrically it is almost a sequel to Dancing. Why the fuck did they not end the album with this?

I like Low Blow. It's a bit of fun. Shouldn't have been at the end though. She's very playful with her vocals on it, isn't she?
