Whistle is utterly gorgeous.
In a way, it is a nice perk being a die hard Kylie fan to be in on all delightful gems that the general public aren't really too aware of. Lucky us indeed.

That version of Where Is The Feeling is not good for live band performances. Something arty and choreographed, maybe. But not like that.
I would've loved to have seen that T in the park performance back in 1995, but considering what a live performer she became just 3 years later, that's pretty lacklustre. Not even singing the chorus of Confide In Me, and Where Is The Feeling sounding so flat and dull on stage. Funny how the crowd really go wild for Shocked, it's massive after all that mid-tempo. These days Kylie can pull any track off live, but all of those at T in the Park sound better in the studio.
I remember that time so well, she lost her biggest selling point, her likability. She was trying so hard to be cool and credible and it didn’t marry up with the smiley Kylie we’d all fallen in love with. I think her age and maturity, the bubble gum pop she was desperately trying to move away from, the Madonna comparisons - the nasty campaign from Virgin radio, it all took its toll on her and she just didn’t come across well. Then along came Spinning Around and the world was back on its axis!!
Spinning Around, what an comeback. Truly never tire of it.
Where’s the ‘love’ option for that post!
Where's the love option for your post in taste of songs/agreement too!
I love a love fest!
And Kylie's all about the love too after all-#lovers
I also don’t think the music did her any favours. I personally love the Decon era but it’s completely uncommercial, no thought for singles and album campaigns that actually resonate with the public.
Would have been interesting if Kylie had her way and 'Limbo' was the lead single from Impossible Princess.
All artists need to evolve else things become tired and creativity dies. After signing with deConstruction Kylie wanted to venture as far away from her PWL style as possible, she wanted to be rebellious and provocative stylistically and she achieved it. We never would've got the full pop celebration of Light Years and everything afterward had she not dipped her toes in that world.
Tbh the Kylie era I enjoyed first was the Decon/Indie Kylie years but until recently never bought much of it.
Spinning Around and then the magnificence of Fever were the points I really paid attention again
All of Kylie's main eras/labels, PWL, Deconstruction, Parlophone and now BMG, have been essential in the evolution of her career I think.
