Kylie Minogue - DISCO: Guest List Edition

[elektroxx]

In this podcast @biff stannard confirmed he and Kylie wrote 7 or 8 songs for Disco and around 12 for Golden, so there is lots of unreleased stuff. The whole interview is worth a listen

Considering "Say Something" is one of the album's better tracks, I'd be interested in hearing the other tracks that they created for Disco.

It does seem like BMG are way better at making sure unreleased tracks don’t leak compared to Parlophone (sometimes I wonder if they even tried) so I’m not too confident we’ll ever hear them.

Real Groove

I Love It
Say Something

I didn't do any of the previous ones, but I loved how easy you've made it.
Also, it was really hard, as the three contenders for my 11 are all in danger of being slaughtered, and it was hard to pick one.
I similarly chose to be extra (vicious) with the ones I disliked as it is quite likely they will end up being the top 3 of the rate, so I had to.

Great job once again of those single arts especially.

Thanks for putting this together. I loved watching it, and what really stood out for me is the consistent high-quality of all of the songs on the album.

Was Golden that divisive outside of sixteen gays who heard a guitar and squealed about it being country? It... was a pop album. And it had plenty of singles.

I think once you cut some of the fat, Golden is still pretty great. Dancing is one of her best single packages and I'm willing to die on that hill.

Dancing, remains a triumph.

I must sound like a broken (limited variant) record, but Kylie really can sell a song even further in a live setting with the right opportunity. She’s no Beyoncé when it comes to performing, but that’s probably the thing I adore that the two have in common and how seriously each one takes it. Icons only and all that.

They weren't very good at keeping "Dancing" from leaking...

But if I had to guess, BMG is smaller operation than Parlophone (within Warner Music Group) with less personnell with leaky pockets. Larger organisations are notoriously slow to make changes across the company and keep everyone in line.

 

[P'NutButter]

Love the man, but Biff is very protective of his work. We've been lucky to hear some clips now and again but there is more chance of Kylie herself leaking the unreleased tracks than him.

Spice Girls 'Feed Your Love' case in point.

I was more so referring to era cast-offs leaking rather than planned releases.

 

[BrokenHearts]

I bought earphones today and I walked 13kms listening Disco and Future Nostalgia. I was the most happy person for a few hours.

 

[Cowboystyle]

Can't get over the almost universal dislike of Spotlight, it's crept up as one of my favourite songs from Disco for me. Glad to see Real Groove triumph in the rate as it's probably my favourite outside of the 2 singles.

I just came here to say that this album did not click with me at first, but on Friday afternoon I was at my local gay bar with friends, they played the entire album and honestly, it was a moment. The straight mums enjoying wine lunches bopping clearly wondering what this music was, the gays clearly excited, and me just shook that I dismissed this album on first listen. An absolute bopfest.

Local gay bar with friends.

This post feels so very early 2020.

The gay clubs will be on fire when they open again and blast through all the fantastic dance pop music 2020 delivered. I have yet to hear Physical and Rain On Me in a club setting. Add the Kylie, Roisin and all the other stuff and the re-opening nights will be ones to remember.

I'm in Western Australia and our premier actually shut our state borders in March not letting anyone out or in, everything was open in our state by the end of June! We have been incredibly lucky. Disco is the perfect club album, it was an absolute vibe.

I hope where you are things start to get better and you get to experience it in that setting yourself soon!
