- X Marks The Spot
In my eyes I thought this Kylie cd was a great come back for her. The cd is fantastic, full of the pop music that she is famous for.
I live in the US and was not aware of Kylie at all until this album. I grew up knowing who Madonna was and I never really liked her. So I always thought pop was a horrible style of music. But Kylie changed my perspective on the style and now i own more Kylie cds and I am totally addicted
In My Arms and Wow are the best songs on the album in my eyes. They are both fun and are great pop songs
Speakerphone and Sensitized are fantastic as well. I didn't like either of them at first but they really grew on me.
All I See is probably the worst song on the album because of how basic it is. But I still like it a lot.
No More Rain is about Kylie's fight with cancer and I really adore it. It sometimes makes me cry when i really think about what the words mean.
Stars and Cosmic seem to be the least popular. I wasn't a fan of either and thought Cosmic was really bad. But after hearing it more and more I thought both of these songs were pretty good and Cosmic is a great song for Kylie's voice.
I don't really like 2 Hearts and sounds quite strange with the oohing but it still is a fun song.
The One is becoming one of her best songs on the album. I never thought much of it until it came out as a single and now I know how fabulous it really is. A real Kylie hit.
Other songs on the album are Like A Drug, Heart Beat Rock, and Nu-di-ty. All these songs I rate as normal. They are all fun and great but nothing special.
If anyone is wondering if they should waste money on a pop album, it should be this one because you won't be sorry. Kylie comes back with a bang and these pop songs never get old.

Let's go back to 1991 when she released Let's Get To It. She tried her hands at R&B. In 2003 she revived her R&B side again with the album release of Body Language, with the hits of Slow, Red Blooded Woman and Chocolate, which was originally intended to be a duet with rapper Ludacris. Even on the album, the hit song Secret, she started to rap. As for X its has more of a R&B/Hip Hop feel.
2 Hearts: short but it was the debut single a rock song.
Like A Drug: Agressive track with catchy and sexy verses. Best song of the album.
In My Arms: more of a disco track and electronica
Speakerphone: Here we go with the hip hop side which contains samples of Lisette Melendez Together Forever and Tony Touch The Greatest DJ.
Sensatized: The 5th Song Dance diva Cathy Dennis wrote for her. It easy to recognized a Cathy Dennis track.
Heartbeat Rock: This track is simply amazing. All Rap Verses. 1/2 rap song on this album.
The One: Takes me back to Light Years with Under the Influence.
No More rain: don't Like
All I See: Like it but the remix with MIMS is even better and more of a Hip Hop Track something like Neyo would Do
Stars: Another Light Years Feel.
Wow: best dance track and this song will make you very dizzy but most of it its a fun track.
Nu-di-ty: another hip hip rap song. very sexy and cool song
Cosmic the only ballad
Rating: - Xtremely overlooked
All the music material I knew about Minogue was Fever, which was a truly good album. I loved "Can't Get You Out of My Head" that I still keep playing it. :) I also liked "In Your Eyes," "Love at First Sight" and "Come Into My World." I loved it! Then, I heard her song "Slow" from Body Language, and I loved that song too.
She is now back from battling cancer and I think this album is also good. It is definitely a little bit "darker" than Fever but I love it. It's pure Europop! :) It's a shame the album did not do so good in the US. I believe the reason is the lack of promotion. Everywhere I read about it they say same thing and I must agree. The few interviews she did were not enough. It seemed so rushed and really did no promotion for the album. I have seen and heard her concerts are really good productions and we are missing that. Thank you (sarcastically!)! Please whoever is responsible for her promotion, get your little act together and do something. She's well known in other countries but not USA. What's wrong with you?
If you really want to listen to something different and you're tired of all that urban music or rap, I recommend you to buy this album. You will not regret it. :)
Rating: - Sensitized but Sensual
I would have to definitely say that Kylie Minogue fans would like this cd. I also agree with the other reviewer that this cd is pretty upbeat and will take you to a different dimension. Some of the strongest (and I admit my favorite tracks) on this cd are Two Hearts, Like a drug, Sensitized, and In my Arms. I just wish that this cd would have been more popular in the US. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars over 5 is because of my recommendation for Minogue fans versus non Minogue fans. This cd grew on me after the second listen and I admit that Minogue fans may enjoy it more. However if you are not a Kylie Minogue fan definitely try to check out her greatest hits cd first and then give this cd a listen. However overall I feel that this cd is good and its good to see her back in good form healthwise and producing a sensual and beautiful cd.
Rating: - An Open Letter to Capitol Records/Astralwerks
Dear Capitol Records/Astralwerks,
I have been reviewing records for a while now, and have a strong grasp on what the American public enjoys as far as Top 40 radio and pop music.
You have the hit of the summer on your hands with Kylie Minogue's "All I See," a breezy, sun-glossed classic pop record, which your label had the correct instinct to release as the lead stateside single to "X," her appropriately-titled 10th studio album.
Just what are you doing about it? The answer, thus far, is very little.
Musically speaking, there is no explanation for the low US sales of "X." Every track is delicious, unabashed pop with memorable choruses, sexy vocals and easy, relatable lyrics. This is what people look for in pop music, and in the English-language market Minogue is the only seasoned artist who consistently delivers true to form pop albums, "X" of which is her most solid to date. From the propulsive, gyrating "Stars" to the infectious, slinky "Like a Drug" to the effervescent, ultra-hooky "Wow," each of these tracks packs combustible heat and explosive energy. This is pop music at its absolute zenith, with talented tunesmiths and a world-class entertainer delivering them. Each song is easy to listen to and difficult to turn off.
"Heavy Promo, Light Sales For Minogue" was a headline I came across after the album's dismal debut at no. 159 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Appearances like the ones Minogue did on the "Today Show" and "Dancing with the Stars" are crucial, but only a small handful of such promotional endeavors was embarked upon. The former did not even include a performance.
Furthermore, the album's release overseas nearly half a year prior to its April 1 US release, as well as an inexplicable early release to stateside digital retail outlets, only aggravated the lukewarm greeting the album received upon its debut in record stores. Even a small child could make such a prediction. By the time it officially hit record stores, the album itself was already yesterday's news to Minogue's core fan base. Why set an album heavy with potential hits sung by an international superstar up to fail?
Straight-edged, dance floor ready pop has taken a backseat at US Top 40 radio to increasingly urban sounds. However, lead single "All I See" has that problem covered with its light, crunchy production, complete with the all-important handclap sound to win over radio listeners, not to mention easy young love and girls' night out themes. It's breezy, it's hooky, it's sexy, it's mellow, it's memorable, it's cool-as-a-cucumber - does it need to bite you in the rear before you realize that it is the consummate summer hit?
Better yet, an alternate version featuring an intelligent, well-delivered rap by Mims has been released as a US bonus track. Paired with the original, these tracks should by the time of this writing have become inescapable. What is the problem?
Minogue may no longer be freshly post-adolescent, and while every track on "X" is fantastic not every one would work on stateside radio, mostly because the majority of them lack contemporary (read: urban) flavor. However, Minogue is in the shape of her life both physically and as a performer. She has come back from cancer with the most solid album of her career and is continuing to fill stadiums overseas. All this, along with "All I See," a pop hit in the vein of Cher's "Believe" or Beyonce and Jay-Z's "Crazy In Love," should warrant sufficient promotion to make it the hit it deserves, spurning formidable album and single sales and perhaps even paving the way for a US leg of KYLIEX2008, Minogue's current tour.
It is because of this that a recent walk in Times Square left me completely annoyed. Hanging above Virgin Megastore, next to tremendous billboards advertising recent albums, was one of Minogue. However, it was not advertising "X," the most impressive LP of pop tunes I have heard in years, but instead a clothing designer whose name I have already forgotten.
It's like staring down a mountain of profits and saying "no thanks."
Sincerely yours,
Rudy Palma
