Kylie Minogue - Aphrodite 4/5
Ditching the urgency and American pop aesthetics of 2007's X, for what Kylie does best, sleek electro-pop, that fits any Friday night party. Kylie finds a bounty of synth-soaked tracks, produced and co-written by the likes of Stuart Price (Madonna's producer), Scissor Sisters and Calvin Harris.
From the album's lead single "All The Lovers" to the closing track "Can't Beat This Feeling", Minogue ties it all together with breathy vocals, energy, and hints of 70s disco turned out with a sonic boom. Minogue may have never left the dancefloor but it's certainly been a while since she commanded it with such delicious tracks like"Get Outta My Way" a sassy, slice of pop heaven, or the glitzy dance-rock of "Cupid Boy". Aphrodite, may not be innovative or the most unique pop out there but then again, who cares, as long as we're dancing.
