We like a good 'Wooh'

TUNE O’ THE WEEK
Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts


Contrary to widespread opinion, ‘2 Hearts’ is not shit.

HOWEVER.

What is slightly annoying about this whole affair is Ms. Minogue’s habit of sitting on her arse for three years (admittedly she had Quite A Good Excuse this time) while other innovators, in this case Goldfrapp and Chungking, do all the hard work, only for Kylie’s inferior producers to come along and polish said work into something Radio 1 will consider playing.

The song is a big old glam stomp which sounds like ‘Love Is Here To Stay’ by Chungking as performed by a burlesque cabaret kickline. Obviously this is a good thing, but the feeling remains that, even before its release, we’ve heard it all before (not helped by rumours that the tune has been ‘circulating’ for four years). Kylie will need to be packing much more than this for her album to be anything other than a strictly commercial success.

The video, however, is impeccable:

FYI the same goes for the artwork:





Bloody hell, etc.
