Free Music Review: This ain't no "Loco-motion"
Hit: 5 Stars
To American audiences, Kylie Minogue is one of those attractive one-hit wonders; one who cranked out a less-than-stellar, and otherwise unnecessary remake of Little Eva's "Loco-Motion" as the 1980s drew to a close. Sadly, she never caught on in the U.S., despite the fact that her early singles were fun and frothy little tunes, if not earth-shattering.// After cranking out hits as part of a hit factory in the 1980s and suffering a commercial and critical dismissal in the 1990s, Kylie Minogue's dues were finally declared paid in 2000 when she launched an unlikely comeback to rival that of Tina Turner in 1984. She guested on albums by artists ranging from Robbie Williams to the Pet Shop Boys and ultimately released her campy disco album "Light Years," and it clicked--it was fun, it was just retro enough to be hip, and most of all, it was mighty good. Suddenly, it was okay to take her seriously.// To follow up, she's dropped a spectacular album on the market, and in doing so, reversed her musical direction and rendered herself a truly "serious" artist--essentially, more than a decade after we first heard from her, she has finally hit her career peak creatively and commercially.// How good is this album? It's sterling. There's not a weak track among the bunch. She doesn't resort to sliding a ballad in among the tracks, and that pays off--she sets a mood. Kylie came to dance, and dance she does.// The tracks pull from current music trends and classic disco (think disco supergroup Chic), but instead of sounding like a derivative of what's popular now, it's more like an integration of new sounds. There are hints of Daft Punk, Modjo, Fragma, and DJ Spiller in the music, but Kylie brings her pop sensibilites to the table with a verse-chorus-verse lyrical scheme and more vocal growth. In doing so, she manages to carve out a niche for herself, which is something she's rarely been able to claim in the past. She becomes more than just "Kylie Minogue, pop singer." At this point, she's created a pop/dance sound that will ultimately be replicated by many more.// Minogue has co-written several of the tracks, as has a long-absent Cathy Dennis--of "Touch Me (All Night Long)" fame--and this only underscores Kylie's growth as an artist. "Fever" is much more stripped down than her previous effort, "Light Years," and as such, comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. They both stand on their own as milestones in a long career and offer a promise of great things to come.// "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" is an obvious high point, but "Come Into My World" is a track in the same vein. If you like one, you'll like the other. She also treads into classic New Order territory with "Fever." "Fragile" is a sweeping mood piece with understated, breathy vocals that play off of her girl-next-door charm. One track toward the end of the album, "Dancefloor," leans toward the big disco beats of "Light Years," but doesn't sound out of place here.// For the part of the American public that has an ear for European dance music, this album does not disappoint. It's a shame, though, that this style has made so little headway in the mainstream. In a market crowded with a slew of soundalike rock bands, "Fever" would be a welcome breath of fresh air.
Fever Poster
Chinese edition of 2001 album includes a bonus remix CD featuring six versions of her international smash, 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' (K & M Mix, Nick Faber Remix, Plastika Mix, Deluxe's Dirty Dub, Superchumbo Todo Mamado Mix & Superchumbo Leadhead Mix).Fever was released on a wave of publicity as the lead single, "Can't Get You out of My Head," battled on the U.K. charts with the debut effort of Spice diva Victoria Beckham--and it won spectacularly. Kylie Minogue's sound has progressed again since the disco-inspired Light Years, plundering the retro style of post-disco electro from the late 1970s and showing what might have happened if Kraftwerk had produced Donna Summer or Chic. Unlike most pop albums, or indeed pop artists, Fever is geared toward high-energy dance rather than pedestrian "I love lovin' you" ballads. Aside from the aforementioned hit single, another standout is "Give It to Me," a great piece of dance pop that has everything from Britney-style wailings to Basement Jaxx funk wrapped up with a catchy and typically suggestive chorus. The closest Minogue gets to a gentler moment is at the very end with "Burning Up," a breezy guitar progression with a laid-back melody, but it doesn't last long as the need to start dancing again takes hold and Fever breaks into some electro funk, finishing on a definite high. --David Trueman
