Reviews Customer Reviews for Body Language      An awful attempt at going R'n'B      Rating:      I'm a moderate fan of Kylie Mingogue - her 2000 release Light Years still stands as one of the best pop releases of the decade - but this attempt at going R'n'B is, frankly, bloody awful, and since the release of the career review "Ultimate Kylie" the album stands as completely pointless. Why it turned out so bad is a bit of a puzzle, because it begins so well. Slow is one of the most groovy and funky tracks she's ever did, and accompagned by a mighty sexy video (one of the best she ever did!) the album could not get have a better launch. However, from here, it turns into one long nightmarish ride through poorly written and poorly produced slick R'n'B tracks with heavy beats and no hooks. Well, with one notable example. As surprising as the decline in quality after Slow, Red Blooded Woman lies as a diamond in a pile of junk, sparkling, glittering, and having everything the rest of the album seems to lack: Charm, hook, melody, quality. Not surprisingly, this track was picked as second single and faired excellent (in spite of an awfully boring video). Chocolate, third single from the album, has all the potential to shine on the dull backdrop that the rest of this album forms, but never really takes off for me. It's quite plain and mediocre, which, however, still makes it better than the rest of the album. I guess Loving Days is the only other none-single track which bears singular mention, as it has actualyl a nice melody. In fact, this is a better track than Chocolate for me, albeit marred by poor vocal production. Apart from this track, I'd say all tracks worth having on this album is also on "Ultimate Kylie". If you want to look into Kylie's album catalogue beyond collections like "Ultimate Kylie", for God's sake don't start here. Go pick up the sparkling Light Years that contains only keeper tracks (and about a handful of obvious singles that were never released!). 1997's Impossible Princess (later retitled: Kylie Minogue) is another interesting place to start, and even the recent 'X' actually is a good (albeit uneven) listen. If you must get an impression of what this album's about, I advice you instead to pick up the DVD from the Album Launch at the Apollo Theatre. At least this DVD will offer you the live version of Breathe / Je T'aime, which although not exactly amazing, does form a marginally interesting listen.     Customer Reviews for Body Language Cd      tight body      Rating:      fab. "sweet music" along with "disco down" (from 2000's impeccable 'light years) remain my two all.time favourite kylie tracks. the outtakes/b.sides/rarities from the 'body' period are equally impressive. i always see less than stellar reviews for this particular effort from kylie; i will admit that "slow" was not the best choice for a lead.off single ("red.blooded woman" would have definitely done more proper and dance chart damage. along with her current a++ album 'x' and the aforementioned 'light years', makes a tight as her arse 3.way tie for best kylie full.length EVAHHHHH (and no, kids, i haven't forgotten about THE greatest full.on POP record of the nineties--'rhythm of love').
