Kylie Minogue -- Body Language
Kylie Minogue: Slow
Capitol
2 stars
All around the world, this Aussie pop pixie is top-of-the-pops material. Except in this country, where we can take her or leave her.
When she uncorks a contagious song, such as 2002’s sublime Can’t Get You Out of My Head, we’re fans. But when she puts out a collection such as Body Language, we lose interest.
Even the much-hyped single Slow is minimal Minogue. It rides along on a perky groove, but there’s no catchy chorus to close the deal. Secret (Take You Home) sounds like mediocre Madonna.
Throughout, Minogue employs a breathy approach that’s supposed to be sultry but sounds like whispering. Her feigned passion reaches a silly climax on After Dark, when she pants, " Me so horny. " OK, Kylie, you’re hot to trot. Now go away and come back when you’ve got better songs.
