Kylie Minogue is a music business anomily. It’s hard to imagine she had no substantial hit in the 90s and that almost 15 years after her first hit, “Locomotion,” (a very mild hit we should add) she’d come back to the State-side, in 2001, with “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.” It turned out to be another mild hit and then she disappeared. Or so it seemed.
Minogue kept releasing great pop albums in 2003 and 2007 , toured the world, stayed relevant within the pop world working with Bloodyshy & Avant (Britney Spears’s “Toxic”), Tim Rice-Oxley (Keane), Cutfather (Pussycat Doll’s “I Hate This Part”), Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Sia, and Kesha producer), and Stuart Price (Madonna). With all this Kylie’s following seems to increase even if her June release Aphrodite is nowhere in Billboards Top 200 albums after only 3 months.
The album is on it’s 2nd single “Get Outta My Way” with a video premiere and it’s quite the piece of Pop art. It features the singer performing choreography that has her poppin’ and lockin’ while laying on a graphic grid with shirtless dancers picking-up and placing chairs around her. The end sequence has her looking like a superhero-lioness of sorts with a herd of gay cubs surrounding her. Fantastic, if you ask us.
It’s quite the eye-candy. Whether it becomes a pop-radio hit doesn’t seem to matter anymore. Did it ever?
