Kylie spotted by someone in Smash Hits in (I think) 1991:

"Kylie in Portobello Road having an argument with a bloke who accused her of nicking all her tunes from old soul artists. Kylie apparently told him to "bog off" (but not quite as nicely as that!)."

I don't have that one gif to hand.

Dddd, I mean… maybe not “all her tunes” but considering her covers, maybe he had a point.

My sister's old boyfriend's claim to fame was accidentally stepping on Kylie's foot in a London market circa-1993.

I was like: "You touched her!?"

Listened to the "Body Language" in full for the first time in years over the last few weeks - some songs have grown on me, some songs have aged terribly, and some songs I completely forgot about!

What do you think of the album, almost 20 years on? My biggest takeaway was that the wrong singles were released from it and while I appreciate the sonic inspiration behind it, some of it just really didn't work at the time and still doesn't.

Did a track-by-track review on the podcast if you like that sort of thing!

Body Language was my first Kylie album as It released not long after I became a proper fan, therefore it holds a special place in my heart and I still love it.

Visually the whole era was and still is flawless.

The standard edition missed a trick not including Slo Motion because it’s gorgeous.

Fun fact, my username actually comes from this dodgy mashup

For me it’s one of my least favourite albums by Kylie. I only really use Secret (Take You Home) and Slow. The rest sound like half finished tracks that could have been something special had they been given more time and attention.

Saying that, nothing can save Chocolate for me. I often consider it her worst single. Nasal Kylie is not my favourite Kylie.

The visuals for Body Language are just stunning. I loved the visual aesthetic of the album sleeve, Slow cover and the cover for RBW in the Slow dress is one of her best photos ever. It's just a shame the music wasn't at the same level.

Confide In D

in my top three Kylie albums. Along with the two deconstruction albums. No skips for me. The music felt effortlessly cool and like she wasn’t chasing a set trend. I know it’s a mixed bag but I do feel that somehow it works. I adore Someday I know it doesn’t get much love. I read a review stating that I Feel You sounds like a lost Basement Jaxx track which I can get on board with. D

In Body Language's booklet, it mentions that it "features an extract from "It's My House" by S. Buchanan and E. Buchanan courtesy of Emplestown Music," but it is strange that they're not credited in the songwriting credits.

Up til around 20 years ago, most samples or interpolations would be paid for via flat fee and a thank you credit somewhere in the album booklet. Getting a co-write credit for a sample was rarer, usually only happened if the sample was a significant one and/or the original publisher had a lot of clout. Since about 2013, almost every sample gets a defacto split of the royalties and a songwriting credit because every publisher is shit scared of a dead songwriters family looking for their next meal ticket and suing them for stealing vibes.
