Kylie Minogue is a declaration of dance-floor independence. Recorded with new collaborators—after parting ways with long-time producers Mike Stock and Pete Waterman following 1991’s Let’s Get to It—the 1994 studio effort finds Kylie shedding the last vestiges of her bubblegum-pop days. With production help from forward-looking UK acts such as M People and Brothers In Rhythm, Kylie Minogue dabbles in sleek house music (“Where Is the Feeling”), brisk electro (the whispery "Falling", co-written by Pet Shop Boys), and laidback R&B (“If I Was Your Lover”). Even more impressive are luxurious midtempo songs such as “Automatic Love” and the orchestra-dusted “Confide In Me”, both instant classics that allow Kylie to showcase a more expressive, sophisticated vocal side.
