Not "Kylie Mingoue" dd! One of my favourites from Body Language; the bass is sublime and the little "boys and girls, it's a different kind of sound" excerpt is genius.

'Sweet music' is one of the ones on 'Body language' that lives up to it's promise of sounding like '80s electro but with a modern twist' and of course IT ENDED UP BEING A B-SIDE. It's far better than most of the non singles from it, and arguably better than 'Red blooded woman'.
It's on the standard album too.
Loving Days, is STUNNING.
I know, but as it was on the b-side of 'slow' it killed any chance of anything more happening to it.
Sweet Music, was also better I think than the 2 track Slow B Side, Soul On Fire.
Ah yeah that's true. It happened a couple of times though during that decade, a b-side becoming a single. I'm thinking of Rihanna's Break It Off and Florence's You've Got The Love.
I'm with @Verandi re: Kids, I'd take it over most other Light Years tracks (including all singles but one, oop). I think the energy between Kylie and Robbie is great. It doesn't translate very well in a live setting, though (especially since it's supposed to be a duet and Kylie usually performs it alone), so I have no idea why the GP seems to love it that much. So please, Kylie, my only wish for the next tour is: no Kids. And no Locomotion, no I Should Be So Lucky, no Especially For You, no Spinning Around, no Love At First Sight, but that's a conversation for a different day.
Sweet Music is nice, but on an album as great as Body Language, it's still somewhat underwhelming. I gave it a 9, and yet it's my fourth-lowest score on Body Language.
As for One Boy Girl... Well, I saw it coming. That was my favourite (and highest-rated) PWL track, so for all I care, every single PWL track that's left should go now.

I'm with you. "Loving Days" and "Slo Motion" are the best non-singles on Body Language, in my opinion, although I guess that the latter is a bonus track.

Every Little Part Of Me - 3 I mean, this is Dancing 3.0 + Stop Me From Falling 2.0. What’s the point of releasing this?
Kids - 4 Well, this sounds so out of place it’s such a mood killer. It’s like a typically anthemic one hit wonder a generic UK rock band could’ve put out to the praises of NME and Kerrang (“they’re the next best thing! rock isn’t dead!”), and which would’ve got a score close to 0 by Pitchfork at the time and macho slurs thrown at it by one of the Gallaghers. And the most ironic thing about it? I would completely get my tipsy, sweaty, and dehydrated life to it if this came on at a party or at her concert. A 4 seems accurate for probably the worst song I ever loved.

I got my life to Higher back in the days and I still lowkey do...
"Hey yo, Kylie?"
"Mhmmm?"
"What's up with this one boy girl thing?"
"Well..."
"Well let me break it down like THIS!"

Ok Sweet Music is a cute bop and probably should’ve lasted a bit longer but Obsession and Promises are both in Body Language’s top half so let’s not.
Stay Another Day 7.04
Highest Score: 10 x 2 @SinceYouTookYourPopAway, @Epic Chocolat
Lowest Score: 3 x 3 @Jacques, @Holly Something, @Ana Raquel
@Epic Chocolat - 10 Irresistible.
@Andsov - 9 Her voice is so beautiful.
@Hudweiser 8 - I *loathe* the East 17 version of this, but as usual, Kylie has taken something ugly and made it beautiful.
@nanafan - 7.5 She delivers a version of the East 17 track well.
@M24 - 6.5 This is beautiful, I really dig this. Her voice suits the song much better than East 17's vocalist. Also, I'm surprised it was written about a suicide.
@Holly Something - 3 Not as good as the Girls Aloud cover.

Sweet Music is a serve and I can't believe we've lost it. Body Language is almost an entirely flawless album and nothing from it should have left yet, especially Sweet Music. Stay Another Day is cute and I do occasionally revisit it
