Kylie Minogue - Tension II

I don’t say this often, but that was absolutely horrendous. Or do I mean pointless? I can’t decide. The tweaks that they’ve made make the song worse in every aspect and it sounds more like a hollow, forgettable dance track that only diminishes her excellence. Soz.

Edge of Saturday Night is one of the best things she’s done in years. Coloring outside the lines for once on a track that you’d not expect her to jump on - more of the same, please.

Her working with The Blessed Madonna again could be nothing but a good thing for her. Experimenting always yields her best results.

And since we’re here, I’ll drop in my list of “please work with” for the 19th time in case BMG are watching.

I’ll take an album of Lights Camera Action (Confidence Man Remix) bops.
 
It’s… whelming. Good background music but then again it’s not like the original was a standout. I do say the added production detracts from the lyrics which was always the most interesting part of the song.

I hope the video (if she even does one) is to the original version.

The Gente de Zona mix of “Stop Me From Falling” was her last great single version that added a feature.
 
Hearing it again, the added echoey vocals in the beginning are nice, but the rest just feels so slight that it all feels like a pointless exercise. Also cutting an already short song down more is annoying.

I’d love her to work with Alex Metric after hearing Rose Gray Tectonic this morning. That really is giving me classic (pre BMG) Kylie
 
I'm enjoying the new mix of Someone For Me gotta say. It does give it that extra oomph too. Will it do anything? No. But, all the same, am glad that Tension II, is not dead just yet after all.
