Kylie Minogue {an album reiew}

did you grow up in the 80's?
oh, come on.
don't be ashamed...it was GREAT being a child of the 80's!!!

debbie gibson, tiffany, poison, guns and roses, b-52's, phil collins, paula abdul, madonna...i listened to it all.
and probably had posters of each artist or band freshly torn from teen beat magazine.

i still have pretty vivid memories of going to school at hyde grove elementary and being in chorus.
one performance in particular sticks out to me.
we did a song and dance to the song "locomotion" by kylie minogue.

remember her?
remember that song?

refresh your memory with this wildly 80's video!!



well, kylie minogue has just released a new album, the abbey road sessions.

On The Abbey Road Sessions, Kylie slows things down and allows us to reflect on what makes her great. One thing becomes very clear—stripped of her high-end pop production, the emotional resonance of Kylie’s songs has never been clearer, and her voice has never sounded better.

The Abbey Road Sessions features sixteen tracks, all radically reworked, spanning Kylie’s incredible twenty-five-year career. It was recorded in London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with Kylie’s band and a full orchestra. The album features many of Kylie’s best-known hits and previously unreleased tracks. Over all sixteen tracks, one thing becomes very clear—stripped of her high-end pop production, the emotional resonance of Kylie’s songs has never been clearer, and her voice has never sounded better.

as i type this post i'm listening to kylie's new album.
it's a great mix of slow and thoughtful to upbeat and fun.
{and locomotion is on it!}

i think my favorite on this album is "can't get you outta my head."
it's a well-known kylie minogue song reworked with an orchestral arrangement.
as a matter of fact, the entire album has an orchestral arrangement. 

kylie is a breast cancer survivor and donates time to the american cancer society.
one track on the album, titled flower, was written several years ago after her cancer battle, for a child she hopes to one day still have.
