State of Being : Double Kylies
In My Arms - Kylie Minogue
Album: X; Genre: Dance-Pop
All I See (Acoustic Version) - Kylie Minogue
Album: X; Genre: R&B
After a four year absence since the release of "Body Language" & a public struggle with breast cancer, Aussie pop icon Kylie Minogue is finally back with her tenth studio "X". Even though the new album has received critical acclaim for fusing glam electronica and dance, I just wasn't wowed by her new musical direction. In fact, her first 2 singles "2 Hearts" and "Wow" didn't leave much of an impression with me, and I was expecting Kylie's follow-up single "In My Arms" to be just as forgettable.
However, after catching the music video of her latest single on MTV channel, I was instantly hooked by its "fuzzed-out" and "synth heavy" arrangement. Think radio-friendly track sounding like early Madonna. Based on the infectious chorus, Kylie's latest offering is definitely single-worthy and a sure dance hit in the club!!!
While "In My Arms" is already her 3rd single in the UK/Europe, for her album release in US, Kylie will be releasing a remix version of "In My Arms" as the lead single instead. Featuring Mims for the single, the original song has been remixed to cater to the US market. Hopefully, Kylie is able to regain back some chart credibility in the US with "All I See". Afterall, her last Billboard Top 10 hit was "Can't Get You Of Out Of My Head" in 2001.
