Kylie Minogue - Tension

Considering the album isn't out for ages it's strange they're already doing listening parties. Like move the album forward to mid-June MOM!
Quickly produce a hundred cassette variants and CDs to make sure it still reaches a good position in June, then have it re-peak with the vinyl deliveries in September, give it a third wind with a deluxe vinyl for Christmas, do a Guestlist Edition/Remix in Spring to coincidence with a tour.
 
The other month on Radio 1, Greg James asked someone who had dialled in to pick a song to play. She suggested a Kylie song. He was completely taken aback, said something about her being obviously not a Radio 1 act but he did play it.

Be great if Padam Padam forces a rethink and they select the songs on the merits of the songs alone and not the age of the artists.
Greg James when I catch you...

What did she request? If it was anything from Golden or Disco, Greg James' reaction doesn't surprise me.
 
Since my last post a few days ago, been really soaking in the geniusiness (not a word) of this whole song/campaign.
Firstly I studied music production so listening to the track in details reveals amazing plucky bassline, the rhythm of the Padam being a beat before the kick...creates a cool rhythm. It's bloody epic.

The video is perfect for all bases, as it's weird enough to be cool but not too 'out there' for casual Bobs. It's neutrally cool, by anyone could 'like' it without seeming to lose any credence with their peers, similar to Can't Get You... The 'Padam Padam' memes really work and again can cut through past Kylie casuals and into the mainstream, causing them to check out what the fuss is about...and then come to the perfect track.

It really look plausible that this could breakthrough to mainstream pop culture, the red iconic outfits and video will help and I think could 'stick'. Only time will tell but I would be more surprised if it didn't.
 
I think the only thing I dislike about this package so far is that the video uses that same diner that is in every music video ever.
