Kylie and Emotopop, really do go hand in hand. Hold Onto Now, may well just be her very best effort with this.
Kylie Minogue

I'm sorry, I need to share this. One of my favorite Kylie moments is when she / they were forced to re-release ''Step Back in Time'' because the fans were furious she / they cut ''Into the Blue''.
Why doesn't she like ''Into the Blue'' though? Do we know?
Also, ''Chocolate'' on Spotify has ''Kylie Minogue, A Guevara'' credited as performers. Can someone explain?

I don't think she hates it, but the wasn't happy with the whole Kiss Me Once album.
I get it, even though I do like 2-3 tracks from it.
But ''Into the Blue'' is glorious.

I don't even think that it's the album itself, but the era. A lot of changes were happening at the time—a change in management, adjusting to becoming a talent show judge—and I don't think that it was the best time for her.
Yes, 2013-17, were certainly years of ups and downs for Kylie. Glad she's overcome that both personally and professionally.
Sure, but she clealry not in love with the album itself:
“Maybe it didn’t do as well because it wasn’t good enough or it didn’t deserve more, who knows?,” Minogue said.
"Even in retrospect it’s hard to say why something works or it doesn’t. It’s dependent on what else is out there, the way it’s promoted … The tour has been the most successful part of that album campaign for me. The album did give me some freedom.”
Apparently A Guevara is the male voice that sounds like it's coming through on the taxi radio at the start
Wasn't that Ludacris?
A Guevarra has no other credits on Discogs beyond "Chocolate", so maybe it's a presudonym to credit him for the unused sample without seeming like it's a bigger deal like a feature?
Maybe Glow and Wait too?

Unfortunately, Sleepwalker isn't on Spotify.
She was deflated with how things ended with Parlophone and believed Roc Nation would be different and respect her as an artist allowing her some artistic freedom. Her vision for Kiss Me Once (more dance-based harder, edgier) was rejected and watered down on their recommendation. Then unsurprisingly when it wasn't as successful as previous work they basically washed their hands.
BMG has been the perfect fit because she calls the shots and is clearly adored by them.

Wasn't it Roc Nation that – alongside Kylie herself – pushed for the edgier sound of Sexercize etc. and set her up with Sia and Pharrell in the first place, but then Parlophone got cold feet about how it would go down with the GP and "legacy fans" and therefore wanted more typical Kylie songs on the album?
They/Them
Yeah I think that’s what happened. There’s no way Roc Nation would have gotten her those contacts and then pulled the plug after she’d recorded the tracks.
To return in 2018 for her 50th birthday and then in the next five years have FOUR UK #1 albums
She truly is a Queen
That’s so sad that Roc Nation washed their hands off of her because of Parlophone.
I wonder what Kylie’s original vision would’ve been like had it been realized. Wish she would be okay with unreleased tracks being used. A super deluxe Kiss Me Once with all the tracks recorded that would’ve made up her vision would be great.

I never knew the backstory of Kiss Me Once. Interesting. I didn't know she was still on Parlophone for it.
