Description:
Between her late 1980s reign as the "I Should Be So Lucky" Aussi soap star turned pop princess and her iconic re-emergence heralded by No.1 "Spinning Around" and Robbie Williams Duet "Kids", Kylie Minogue had an altogether different kind of pop career. In the mid-1990s the miniature star released two, very grown-up and exquisitely sophisticated albums, both simply titled Kylie Minogue, for the now defunct dance label Deconstruction.

Between her late 1980s reign as the "I Should Be So Lucky" Aussi soap star turned pop princess and her iconic re-emergence heralded by No.1 "Spinning Around" and Robbie Williams Duet "Kids", Kylie Minogue had an altogether different kind of pop career. In the mid-1990s the miniature star released two, very grown-up and exquisitely sophisticated albums, both simply titled Kylie Minogue, for the now defunct dance label Deconstruction. It is the best tracks from that period, plus a handful of previously unreleased songs and remixes that fill Hits. Although the title's somewhat misleading, given that the albums from which the tracks come were deemed commercial flops, it's not overstating things to say that in "Breathe", "Did It Again" and "Automatic Love", this collection contains some of the most stylishly executed pop the UK has ever heard. But it's haunting singles "Confide In Me", "Put Yourself In My Place" and Nick Cave duet "Where The Wild Roses Grow", graced by the sumptuously breathy vocals that transformed cute-bubblegum-pop-Kylie into a pop seductress and institution, that are the jewels of this retrospective and her career, and prime examples of just how exhilarating pop can be. --Dan Gennoe
