Kylie - Say Something

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

LOVE

 

[Apoca]

Love how it all builds into a big old DISCO PRAYER by the end of it.

 

[joanne]

my god, it is SO KYLIE. i have no choice but to put it on repeat and STAN.

 

[Eddie]

It sounds like the love child of All The Lovers and Lost Without You.

I have cry.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

It’s like a cross between The One and Sweet Music. Could it BE any more perfect??

 

[COB]

I can't listen yet, but the comparisons to Lost Without You are getting me VERY excited

 

[lolly]

Now added to the Complete Kylie Collection playlist. I may listen to nothing else all day

[Eddie]

I hope Jon Green has produced lots on the album. He really suits her aesthetic.

 

[GinAg (39)]

This is fucking HOLY.

When Kylie strikes nothing else will do!

More artists need to do this! I'm fed up of putting shuffle mode on Spotify for it to only play the same "big" hits over and over.

 

[Eddie]

Those “I’m thinkin’ aboutcha, I’m always thinkin’ aboutcha” bits floor me.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

I do wish there were CD, 7” and 12” physical single formats for this. It DESERVES them.

 

[Eddie]

This song is exceptionally well layered. I have only just heard and noticed the drawn out “this is love” in the outro. The production is magnificent.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Yes! It’s a bit of a cliche, but it’s such a wonderful headphones listen!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Has apparently entered iTunes straight away at #6

 

[Nancy]

Has apparently entered iTunes straight away at #6

At #3 now

 

[dUb]

I think my favourite bit is the intro before she starts singing. Those exhalations

All in all, it won't trouble my Kylie Top 20 but it's good stuff

 

[ManicKangaroo]

At #3 now

And 19

 

[Nancy]

Now at 2 and 18

 

[Funky]

It’s like a cross between The One and Sweet Music. Could it BE any more perfect??

exactly my first thought. Sweet Music is still her best EVER song for me, so I’m liking this.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Everyone on board

 

[GinAg (39)]

I've played this 53 times now

I am now part of this song.

 

[Apoca]

This is fucking HOLY.

It’s tough to put a finger on it but it’s got a certain ethereal quality to it while retaining the quintessential longing and single disco tear Kylie ambience. In that sense it does feel like a distant cousin to All The Lovers, not in sound but in spirit.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I NEED

#KylieIsHoly

 

[GinAg (39)]

I've just realised we need hash tags on here. Could satisfy the gap tags have left.

Is this possible @Indie @octophone @kylie

 

[lolly]

I've moved on from Say Something exclusively, but I've decided I'm not listening to anyone except Kylie for the rest of the week.

 

[GNL]

This is stellar.

Same. While I acknowledge three hours of continuous play doesn't do it justice, I've shuffled the playlist you shared.

 

[jivafox]

Been in training all morning so only just hearing this now.

That GUITAR is a welcome surprise

Spoiler

It's the TITS

Even if Golden live seems to come up a little too frequently for my liking

 

[SDF]

It wouldn’t sound out of place on X?

definitely less disco sounding that I thought it was going to.

it’s is very good though.

 

[dUb]

Yeah it's slightly odd that the whole campaign so far has been IT'S ME KYLIE THE DISCO DIVA GET READY TO DANCE TO MY DISCO ALBUM DISCO and then she releases something... not particularly disco sounding

 

[Eddie]

“We’re just trying to find ourselves in the storms we chase”. What a lyric.



My only tiny quibble is she sounds a bit Ariana Grande in parts, not that it’s a bad thing but it sounds as if she is aping her somewhat.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

I think some people have a very, very narrow idea of what "disco" sounds like...

slightly?

 

[SDF]

It’s very electro pop, rather than Disco.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

I think it's quite electro pop AND disco.

 

[BoysForSeles]

After two listens I quite like it but am not living for it. I’ll give it proper focus on the headphones after work. The intro music is very similar to part of Queen’s I Want To Break Free.

Please don't 'some people' sub-post about me, HeLikedTurner, whom I have known in real life for many years. If you would like to respond to my post I strongly encourage you to do so directly.

Anyway it doesn't sound disco to an uninformed/basic person like ME and I would bet as a result most of the population so it's a TAD confusing in terms of the messaging. I bet it wasn't even meant to be the first single until a gay intern realised it sounded a bit like it was about COVID. Flop era confirmed.
