Relisten #8.2: DISCO (06/11/20 at 19:00)

[GNL]

I would describe 'Miss a Thing' as SULTRY.

Did she make a WOLF NOISE?

 

[POP!]

Slightly Body Language esque, no?

It’s SO slinky. I’m getting a bit of Donna Summer.

Yes, BL with the vox for sure, but more subtle.

 

[POP!]

9.0 Magic
7.5 Miss a Thing

 

[Eddie]

Real Groove absolutely needs to be the next single. Talk Box madness. Love it!!

 

[POP!]

I was already having difficulty understanding some of the lyrics in "Real Groove" . Then the vocoder hits.

 

[Eddie]

I know I’ve listened to the album but I really wanted more of this. There is some Dua influence but Kylie absolutely makes it her own.

 

[RJN]

10 - Real Groove - Slinky is right! I can't stay away from CNN though so I'll listen to the rest after.

 

[Eddie]

I was already having difficulty understanding some of the lyrics in "Real Groove" . Then the vocoder hits.

It’s a talk box and it’s fucking brilliant. This would fit on Body Language too.

 

[POP!]

What is that instrument in "Monday Blues" - a BANJO?

 

[Eddie]

Monday Blues is absolutely WTF Kylie.

 

[Eddie]

But I embarrassingly rather like it!

 

[POP!]

I can't quite make heads or tails of "Monday Blues". The "EH EH EH" bits are en ear worm. But it's jarring, I think the chorus throws it off.

 

[Jark]

Miss a Thing is a much better song than Real Groove. It's so Fever, giving me a bit of Your Love.

There is way too much vocoder all across this album however.

Supernova is a fucking BOP.

Must sleep now but excited to spend more time with this tomorrow

 

[Eddie]

EY EY EY EY EY EY EY EY EY

 

[POP!]

"Monday Blues" sounds like it should be later in the album (mind you I haven't heard that section of the album yet).

 

[Eddie]

It’s actually AY AY AY AY AY AY AY AY AY

isn’t it?

 

[POP!]

9.0 Magic
7.5 Miss a Thing
7.0 Real Groove
7.0 Monday Blues

 

[Eddie]

Ready to enter another DIMENSION?

 

[Eddie]

The lyrics to this totally bug me though!

 

[Eddie]

07 Magic
09 Miss A Thing
10 Real Groove
07 Monday Blues
09 Supernova

 

[POP!]

"Supernova" into "Say Something" is a VIBE

 

[Eddie]

Supernova is absolutely quintessentially a BOPPY BANGER.

 

[GNL]

I was worried this disco album wasn't going to be very disco but I think that was unfounded. She's hitting all the disco tropes

 

[Eddie]

"Supernova" into "Say Something" is a VIBE

Some fans are saying it doesn’t fit next to it but really, there is no other choice.

 

[Eddie]

Say Something just remains ANOTHER LEVEL. Can’t be topped.

 

[Eddie]

I was worried this disco album wasn't going to be very disco but I think that was unfounded. She's hitting all the disco tropes

She’ll hit practically every one. Wait until you get to Last Chance.

 

[POP!]

Some fans are saying it doesn’t fit next to it but really, there is no other choice.

I think you need to avoid sounding samey in a thematic album like this, and the change in tempo/atmosphere manages that.

 

[Eddie]

07 Magic
09 Miss A Thing
10 Real Groove
07 Monday Blues
09 Supernova
12 Say Something

 

[POP!]

9.0 Magic
7.5 Miss a Thing
7.0 Real Groove
7.0 Monday Blues
6.5 Supernova
9.0 Say Something

 

[POP!]

"Last Chance" pre-chorus is serving J-Lo "Play" teas

 

[SDF]

A bit behind, I’m on Real Groove

 

[SDF]

 

[Eddie]

Kylie does ABBA.

 

[Eddie]

The chorus is such a SHAMELESS rewrite of Voules-Vous

 

[Eddie]

Still BOPPING though.

 

[GNL]

She’ll hit practically every one. Wait until you get to Last Chance.

 

[GNL]

The chorus is such a SHAMELESS rewrite of Voules-Vous

I was trying to work out which ABBA song I was thinking of... NOT A BAD THING.

 

[Eddie]

The pace of this album, as I said in the other thread is RELENTLESS.

 

[Eddie]

I MUCH prefer I Love It to Magic. The adlibs are EVERYTHING.

 

[SDF]

The verses of Monday Blues sounds like a Barry Manilow uptempo
