Kylie Minogue - Body Language
The title could refer to how much has been written about Kylie’s bum, especially in Britain, where the Aussie pop singer’s pert bottom is a national obsession. In fact, it’s about movement, which Minogue’s record label hopes will happen at American dance clubs and cash registers. The album opens strongly with the sultry “Slow,” but shifts into ’80s-style Prince on “Still Standing” and then a dizzying array of styles and tempos. Too eclectic for U.S. dance-pop, Kylie remains, in the end, a distinctly European attraction.Feb. 10
