K. Minogue

Real Name:
Kylie Ann Minogue
Profile:
Kylie Minogue is an Australian-born singer and actress who first came to global attention with her role as Charlene Mitchell in the soap opera Neighbours. She began her music career in 1987 when she signed to Mushroom Records and released a cover-version of Little Eva's "Locomotion", which spent seven weeks as the Australian number one. The success of "Locomotion" lead to Minogue travelling to the UK to record with pop producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman, with whom she worked until 1992. In 1993, she signed with dance label Deconstruction, a move that was marketed as the start of a new phase in her career. The distance from her SAW-managed sugary past was highlighted, and her credibility boosted, in 1995, when she collaborated with Nick Cave on the murder ballad "Where the Wild Roses Grow".

After leaving Deconstruction, Minogue signed with Parlophone in April 1999, with whom she released the albums Light Years (2000) and Fever (2001), both of which proved enormous commercial and critical successes. In 2005, Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer, putting her career on hiatus for 18 months. Following treatment and surgery, she resumed her Showgirl Tour in Sydney on 11 November 2006.

Review by hambone Sep 27, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)
Who ever thought that after that odious collaboration LP with M-People,and others for Deconstruction (they practically ruined her)...she'd bounced back giving musical lessons left-right-&-centre to anyone who stands in her way, as well lessons in how to behave as a pop-star and who one should surround themselves with...Madonna and Britney Spears and their like, can all take note of how things should be done. Understandly she won't get too much airplay in the USA, cos' if she did what would become of Christina Aguilera, and all those r'n'b wannabes that the states is so full of...Body Language is not only a great pop record, it packs a punch and is full of wonderful collaborations. It could be the final nail in the coffin for artists like Mariah Carey, Prince, Whitney Houston etc who have somehow all lost their ways along those egomaniac roads they were travelling down - cos' Kylie on this album takes on all of them and at their own game without as much as batting an eyelash - and succeeds where they have failed, to arouse excitement and bring fun back into pop. Kylie please just stay way from the L.A. scene, and all those Puff Daddy's of the world but any remix by Mark Picchiotti, Roger Sanchez, Superchumbo etc is greatly appreciated...
