I'm not completely satisfied with the reverb work at the end, but I am tired of working on it, so.

Played around a little bit with stereo Left/Right, given the repetition in the composition.

Kylie Minogue to release 'euphoric' album Tension via BMG in September

https://www.musicweek.com/labels/read/kylie-minogue-to-release-euphoric-album-tension-via-bmg-in-september/087875

Kylie Minogue has confirmed details of her new studio album, Tension, which will be released on September 22.

The album continues her successful relationship with BMG, who helped Kylie Minogue secure No.1 peaks in the UK with her two previous studio albums, Golden (2018) and Disco (2020), as well as the collection Step Back In Time (2019).

According to the Official Charts Company, Golden has UK sales of 166,699 and Disco is on 176,116. BMG managed to grow global streaming on Disco compared to their first release with Minogue.

According to the announcement, Tension is a record of “euphoric, empowered dance floor bangers and sultry pop cuts”, which should delight her fanbase.  

Padam Padam, which opens the album, will be the first single to be released from the record.

Kylie Mingoue said: “I started this album with an open mind and a blank page. Unlike my last two albums there wasn’t a ‘theme’, it was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song. I wanted to celebrate each song’s individuality and to dive into that freedom. I would say it’s a blend of personal reflection, club abandon and melancholic high.”

Minogue has worked with a number of producers on the album with seven of the tracks being produced and co-written with her long-time collaborators, Biff Stannard and Duck Blackwell.

Discussing the recording process, Kylie Minogue said: "I loved being back in the studio with my collaborators but was also able to benefit from remote recording, which we have all got used to – my mobile studio never left my side for a year and a half! The album is a mix of songs I have written and songs which really spoke to me. Making this album helped me navigate challenging times and celebrate the now. I hope it accompanies listeners on their own journeys and becomes part of their story.”

Calvin Harris' introductory disc got him to work with Kylie Minogue. I agree, we cannot claim this was the sequence of events, but I assume the hype surrounding him caused her to ask for a collaboration and their tune became a single from Kylie's X. I would claim the song remains one of the highlights of her 00's career with the incredibly committed vocals that complement the production by Mr. Harris. Of course, you also do trace his future on this one, i.e. his later pieces find him in the mode of a DJ with a famous guest, so his cooperation with Mrs. Minogue feels right up his alley. However, the sonic environment then remained firmly within the electronica of the noughts that many, including Mrs. Mingoue, perfected.

"Disco" is the fifteenth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue. It was released on 6 November 2020 by BMG Rights Management and through Kylie's company, Darenote. Following the completion of her promotional activities with the "Golden Tour" in 2019, the artist began working on a new album, enlisting producers such as Sky Adams, Teemu Brunila, and Biff Stannard, among others. Kylie continued work on the record from her home in London, due to COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and received engineering credits for vocals and synths.

The album was stylistically influenced by various sounds of the Disco genre, which was initially influenced through segments of her "Golden Tour". Musically, "Disco" combines elements of nu-disco, funk, dance-pop, and pop music, and explores themes of love and intimacy, fun, unity, and celebration. She also received songwriting credits for each track on the album. Music critics praised "Disco" for its catchiness and upbeat nature, as well as her return to Disco music. As a result of its critical success, it was included on various end-of-year lists published by various publications and was nominated in categories at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards and 2021 ARIA Music Awards.

"Disco" was a commercial success, debuting at number one on record charts in her native Australia, the United Kingdom, Scotland, and Ireland. It was also in the top ten in Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, and New Zealand. It was certified Gold by the British phonographic industry (BPI) for shipments of 100,000 units. "Disco" spawned three major singles to promote the album: "Say Something", "Magic", and "Real Groove" and three promotional singles : "I Love It", "Dance Floor Darling", and "Miss a Thing".

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Kylie Minogue’s 14th studio album #Golden! 💛

The album was co-produced by Minogue alongside a variety of producers including Ash Howes, Richard "Biff" Stannard, Sky Adams, Alex Smith, and Mark Taylor, among others. Each track was co-written by Minogue, making it her first album since Impossible Princess (1997) in which this was the case. A large portion of the record was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, where she found new inspiration with its music, and also recorded some material in London and Los Angeles.

The album produced six singles including "Dancing", which was released as the album's lead single on 19 January 2018 to critical acclaim and moderate commercial success, with some highlighting the song as one of Minogue's best singles to date. As well as appearing on several shows such as Saturday Night Takeaway, The Graham Norton Show and The Late Late Show with James Corden, Minogue embarked on two concert tours in order to further promote Golden. A promotional tour, Kylie Presents Golden, commenced in March 2018 and consisted of six shows in smaller venues. In September of the same year, the Golden Tour commenced, consisting of 33 arena shows across Europe and Australia.

"Wannabe" was the debut single by the British group Spice Girls. Written and composed by the group members in collaboration with Matt Rowe and Richard "Biff" Stannard for their first album, Spice, released in 1996. The song was written, composed, and recorded very quickly; but the result was considered lackluster by their label, and was sent to be mixed by Dave Way. The group was not pleased with the result, and the recording was mixed again, this time by Mark "Spike" Stent.

The song is an uptempo dance-pop track which features Mel B and Geri Halliwell rapping. The lyrics, which address the value of female friendship over the heterosexual bond, became an iconic symbol of female empowerment and the most emblematic song of the group's Girl Power philosophy. Despite receiving mixed reviews from music critics, the single rocketed to #1 in the UK, US, and 20 other countries and won the British Single of the Year at the 1997 Brit Awards.

The music video for "Wannabe" was the first for director Johan Camitz. He was hired on Fuller's recommendation because of his commercials for Nike and Volkswagen.  The original concept for the video was a one-take shoot of the group arriving at an exotic building in Barcelona, taking over the place, and running riot—the same way they did when they were looking for a manager and a record company. But a few days before the shoot, they were denied permission to use the building, so the filming was relocated to the Midland Grand Hotel in St Pancras, London.

Nowhere To Run

Let it in, breathe it out Exhale the things that I’ve done I’m so fucking careful Weighed down by the undertone God, I wish I was numb Familiar burden

In a crowd, in a room you’re alone No matter where you are I see exit signs but there’s no way out

I wanna run, I wanna hide My heart is shaking, hear me breaking You sneak in without making a sound Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide No mistaking you’re overtaking Without me letting my guard down Why do you do this to me, oh ho

I sense you begin to leave But I know you’ll return, the one thing I’m certain of Relief as you lose your grip But the damage is done Exposed and I’m hurting

In a crowd, in a room you’re alone No matter where you are I see exit signs but there’s no way out

I wanna run, I wanna hide My heart is shaking, hear me breaking You sneak in without making a sound Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide No mistaking you’re overtaking Without me letting my guard down Why do you do this to me, oh ho

Don’t wanna freak out I gotta breathe out I gotta breathe out Don’t wanna freak out I gotta breathe out I gotta breathe out

I wanna run, I wanna hide My heart is shaking, hear me breaking You sneak in without making a sound Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide No mistaking you’re overtaking Without me letting my guard down Why do you do this to me, oh ho

Explain your thesis regarding why you feel Victoria missed out on a singing part in "Wannabe".

Lol, oh I was just parroting facts to my friend, but the story is that on the weekend that the girls were writing Wannabe with Biff Stannard and Matt Rowe (who collaborated with the girls on tracks from both Spice and Spiceworld), Victoria attended a family barbecue with her then-boyfriend. She really didn’t want to go, but was guilted into it by her boyfriend.

She recounts in her autobiography that she was terribly unhappy at the barbecue and desperately wanted to be with the girls in the studio. Apparently Geri kept phoning her during the session, keeping her up-to-date with what was being written, but Victoria felt completely left out and disappointed that she couldn’t contribute.

So, once the song was finally finished, the four girls had divided up the parts among themselves, but poor Victoria was left with nothing to do but add harmonies to the chorus and she was upset that she would then become “the one who couldn’t sing” - which is exactly what happened. Despite the fact that she sings on pretty much every single other track, Wannabe is the song performed most by the group, and so it left the public with the impression that Victoria couldn’t sing.

She notes in her autobiography that one of the only upside to Geri leaving the band was that she finally got to single solo lines when performing Wannabe.
