Kylie Minogue - Extension: The Extended Mixes (Dec 8)

The pop-up was lovely. Staff was very friendly and chatty, well organised. I wonder how many copies will be reported of the albums, surely they'll shift most of the vinyl and a couple hundred CDs / cassettes. Also A+ to whoever suggested to invest in Kylie-branded shopping bags, literal free promo and got stopped many times to be asked where it's from.

My favourite bit was the scalpers who were buying bulks of 5-10 vinyl with their aunties and cousins to flip on resale and the tired gays from the Swiss countryside already paying £200+ for it on eBay.
 
My vote for 3rd single would be Things We Do For Love and Somebody to Love for 4th single.

Here's my problem with Hold On to Now: it sounds like a remix. The melody is great but it sounds like it was written to an entirely different track and they put a remix on the album. I don't dislike it, but it's definitely not as immediate as Things We Do for me.
 
Theory time!

Was Hands put to the Barbie OST with a gap for a feat, declined, and then inexplicably included in the final cut of Tension?

That or Kylie tread a line with some racialised pronunciation in her demo for it, rightly noted that's not quite the jam, and decided to step it back a bit. Hands is a banger, it's just...not Kylie?

I'm convinced to be honest it was submitted as an inclusion for the Barbie soundtrack. It sounds like a perfect fit among the other tracks that did make it. And the name drop of Barbie, just feels so random otherwise.
