Review: Kylie Minogue
Kylie Minogue 'X': Aidin Vaziri | So much for Kylie Minogue's long-awaited domination of the United States: As her latest album belatedly arrives here, she's decided not to do any interviews or tour but to simply let it drop and disappear much like the last one. Which is a shame, because despite the abundance of formless disco beats and its slightly impersonal nature - especially in light of her recent cancer battle - "X" is still an incredibly innovative and fun piece of work, something that could clearly brighten the corners of the current Billboard Top 200. Fizzy, slinky, starry-eyed songs like "Wow" and the glam-tinged "2 Hearts" offer easy thrills, while the Serge Gainsbourg sampling "Sensitized" is epic in every way. Best of all is the soft-focus R&B of "All I See," a summer jam so breezy its creator should rightfully be singing it on every beach on the continent.
