Fever

by

Kylie Minogue

Edit

This is the only CD that I own by Kylie Minogue so I can't really compare it to her others but from what I can hear this FEVER is burning hot. From the opening groove of "More More More" to the last more techno sounding "Butterfly" this CD is guaranteed to blow your mind.

About 15 years ago Kylie broke out in the US with her hit cover of "Locomotion", thereafter exploding with continuous chart toppers in the UK. Until recently nobody could remember who Kylie was until the huge radio single "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" came out and did just that. I remember when that song first came out and everyone was humming to it. Its died down now but I hope that she can continue to dominate the pop charts because she really does deserve that type of fame. She's so much more talented than Britney Spears who sounds like a chipmunk when she sings and I think that its time that we recognize that and hand her her rightful crown. With sweeping ballads like "Fragile" and potential chart toppers like "Come Into My World" (which will probably be her next single) and "Love Affair" (which pumps with rhythmic techno) this is destined to become one of the best dance albums ever made. In my own opinion every song here is a potential hit but others that standout from the rest include the r&b spiced "Boy" (which is one of two hidden tracks only found on the US release) and the funky "Burning Up" with its infectuous disco beats. So if you like electronic groups like Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx with fun dance-pop (not to mention catchy choruses) than Kylie Minogue's FEVER is the perfect album to light your fire with.

This is pure ear candy and it's highly recommended.

I wasn't a fan of Kylie Minogue before hearing the song "Can't get U out of my head" earlier this year. But that track alone was worth getting the cd. I got it several months ago and didn't really care for it for the first month or so, but although it took awhile, the cd DID grow on me. The "Love at First sight" album version came off like a Madonna/Holiday rip off, but the radio version made me enjoy the song (unfortunately, this version isn't on the cd). The other songs that I can say are favorites are "Come into my world" (which is her latest), "Burning up" and the hidden track "Butterfly". But other than that, the cd is just kind of blah for me. I will say that its good when you're in an upbeat mood since every track on it is danceable fun pop music but there isn't anything else on there that jumped out at me like the first single.
