Relisten #2: Rhythm of Love & Let’s Get To It - 19/10/20 19:30

[Eddie]

Is it just me or was Kylie's 90s voice quite considerably fuller and richer and more elastic than her 00s voice? She also sounded good on Light Years and Fever but a slight nasal quality had set in (which obviously got worse) but she's very full bodied voice on this record that was just beginning to nicely MATURE.

She doesn’t really belt that much these days if at all.

 

[lolly]

I'm not sure I can say anything about the singles. Pop music just doesn't get better.

 

[COB]

Why has the CRETIN not been banned yet?

I agree. Her voice is far from unpleasant but there is a shrillness/nasalness to it know. I put it down to SAW's heavy-handedness with backup singers and production that isn't there anymroe.

 

[Eddie]

Should we end pause for @SDF

 

[POP!]

Unpopular opinion: “Step Back in Time” is the best single from the album. I said what I said .

 

[Eddie]

I see @dUb is conspicuous by his absence.

 

[SDF]

Better the Devil You Know is quite fabulous and anyone who doesn't rate it a 10 is not gay enough to be on Moopy

I think I thought that for a brief period at the time.

*DISCO ANAL PROLAPSE*

 

[COB]

Thank you @Tisch! Currently about a minute and a half into Step Back, is that about right?

Wasn’t it with Rhythm Of Love where she started to record her own BVs?

I’m not sure MIRIAM STOCKLEY features.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

07 Better the Devil You Know
08 Step Back in Time

Would be a 9 if it didn't fade at the end. Write an ending love.

 

[Jark]

I would never necessarily single Step Back In Time out as a top tier Kylie single or personal fave but when it's on GOD IT TOTALLY SLAPS.

There was such effortless rhythm and easy confidence to all the singles from this album. They were swimming in melody and all the elements were totally complimentary.

Commercially it wasn't one but it absolutely SOUNDS like an imperial era.

 

[Iguana]

I love Step Back In Time but it only really started to speak to me with the greatest hits last year.

No idea but they do sound like her. Still quite heavy on the use of them though. Not criticising at all, I love how this album sounds.

OMG Step Back in Time is possibly one of my favourite songs of all time

8?!?!

18 is more appropriate x

 

[Iguana]

What Do I Have To Do is, I think, my joint favourite early Kylie single

 

[Eddie]

Step Back in Time was ABSOLUTELY my favourite until What Do I Have To Do overtook it.

 

[COB]

These LOOKS in the WDIHTD video! How dare she do this to us, it's too much

 

[Tisch]

If Wouldn't Change A Thing is my favourite of the 80s, WDIHTD is FOR SURE my favourite of the early 90s. It's just so EFFORTLESS.

 

[Tisch]

I also appreciate that is ends in a ?

 

[lolly]

These LOOKS in the WDIHTD video! How dare she do this to us, it's too much

All that AND lezzing it up with Dannii on the dancefloor

 

[Iguana]

Does the chorus of Better Than Today reminds anyone else a bit of WDIHTD?

 

[Eddie]

I’m not sure she’s EVER looked better than in the WDIHTD video

 

[lolly]

Who's going to post the Sophie Lawrence video then?

 

[Iguana]

WELL this album blows the first two out the water so far....

 

[ZenGiraffe]

07 Better the Devil You Know
08 Step Back in Time
05 What do I have to do?

AMAZING PUNCTUATED TITLE.

shit song.

 

[Eddie]

All that AND lezzing it up with Dannii on the dancefloor

That’s not Dannii

 

[POP!]

“It’s always inside my head and never inside my bed...”

 

[SDF]

What Do I Have To Do is another CORKER

 

[Jark]

What Do I Have To Do is an ABSOLUTE TOWERING WORK OF POP MAJESTY

I love her vocal so much - at turns soft and flirty (only you, you) and TRÈS DOM TOP. the "bringing out the passion in my soul" line flexes my rectal muscles tbh.

10 Better the Devil You Know
09 Step Back in Time
10 What Do I Have to Do

 

[lolly]

That’s not Dannii

Well not the MAIN one, but she is in it, so that's my story.

shit song.

This is quite frankly SACRILEGE

 

[Tisch]

05 What do I have to do?

AMAZING PUNCTUATED TITLE.

shit song.

So right and so wrong

 

[Eddie]

Well not the MAIN one, but she is in it, so that's my story.

For like 0.00001 seconds.

 

[POP!]

That escalating synth before the chorus in WDIHTD is possibly its biggest serve.

 

[SDF]

The transition to the chorus is truly INTERGALACTIC DISCO

You really are pushing it laydeh! (Did I do that right?)
