Kylie - Magic

[SDF]

Well, that explains A LOT

 

[L. Põldvere]

Triple saveloy and double chicken and mushroom apparently. No wonder she’s chubbed up

 

[jivafox]

That picture made me think of this:

 

[straightorbroken]

The lyric she's teasing of believing in magic is giving me an echo and inner glow of SAINT Etienne. I didn't like whatever that clip was, in isolation at least.

 

[COB]

Zoe Ball introducing the song now

 

[Jark]

COME ON KYLIE. I woke early for this.

 

[COB]

Disco strings!

I enjoyed it! I didn't hear much resemblance to Chained To The Rhythm except maybe the tempo? It feels quite Seventies to me, in a good way.

 

[Jark]

here we go

 

[lolly]

Unfair.

It's clearly a Meh+

 

[Jark]

OMG. on first play I love it.

I definitely hear a lot of Chained to the Rhythm. It's got that sunny, breezy, but underneath slightly dark disco-pop vibe to the production. Love the way the chorus builds and takes its time.

I think I'll be abusing this one quite a bit more than Say Something.

 

[Eddie]

It's lovely but I still prefer Say Something.

 

[Eddie]

Not showing up in my Spotify though.

 

[lolly]

That's presumably the next tour opener, with Say Something the closer.

I mean I quite like it. There are nice touches, but it's not a hugely satisfying whole two listens in.

It's basically Chained To The Rhythm with a disco beat. At least @dUb will shut up this time.

I do really like it but for me it is too faithful to the genre - it doesn't have the modern disco stylings of a Jessie Ware track for example.

 

[Eddie]

More of a bop than a banger. Where are people listening to it a second time?

 

[Sheena]

I totally hear Chained to the Rhythm

I think you'll enjoy this album much more if you give up any expectation of modern disco stylings to be honest - the producers Kylie is working with don't have the range

 

[Sheena]

Albeit from the twenty seconds I’ve played. I literally have no idea how Spotify works

 

[Christian]

No sign of it on Apple Music yet either so I've not heard a sausage.

Mores the pity. She did say it wouldn't be a pastiche though (not that I'm saying this is).

 

[Eddie]

Also was that the extended intro Zoe was talking over?

 

[FetchFugly]

A couple of listens in and I like it very much. I definitely hear Chained to the Rhythm quite clearly but then I was looking for it. A nice relaxed bit of disco pop.

 

[FetchFugly]

I do wish they dialled back the horn a bit and went more in on the strings though.

 

[Iguana]

I like it on first listen! It feels a bit X era to me.

 

[Tisch]

I love that Say Something WASN'T disco and Magic is now TOO disco apparently! /

I like it quite a lot. Prefer the non-single version. And I totally hear Chained to the Rhythm as well (which remains a good tune to my ears)

 

[lolly]

And to be honest, I'm not entirely sure I'd want Kylie to try and compete with Jessie Ware and Roísín Murphy in that arena.

Loving it on first listen!

I loved that Say Something wasn't overtly disco but it absolutely had elements of the genre.

I'm enjoying this even more on repeated listens but I've decided I don't enjoy the way it ends and unusually for a Kylie song, there are no adlibs near the fade out.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

It's no Say Something, but it's a very pleasant bop indeed!

 

[Christian]

First time on and oh this is FABULOUS

 

[Christian]

Such an AIRY confection

 

[HeLikedTurner]

It's slightly Fever-era ish too! With a dash of X and a soupçon of Chained to the Rhythm.

 

[Sheena]

On first listen, I like it rather than LOVE IT, but that's ok- and it could well be a grower. It's certainly an ear worm...

 

[FetchFugly]

AIRY is just the word, it has a lovely light, easy disco groove.

I love the ascending 'Magic, magic, magic, magic' bits.

 

[lolly]

I think it could easily sit on at least half her albums, given a tweak in production here and there.

 

[Sheena]

It is SO Chained to the Rhythm! Not that it's stolen from it, but it's TOTALLY of that ILK! I can't understand those who can't hear it.

 

[Sheena]

It's not disco at all though
