It's been 20 years since Kylie's Confide in Me was released! Where has all that time gone? :D IMO this is Kylie at her peak, commercially the Deconstruction era didn't exactly set the charts on fire (except this song) but the artistic growth Kylie showed was fantastic. I adore this song and video, one of the highlights of Kylie's career. Thoughts on Confide in Me?

Really hoping she performs it on her KMO tour.
I still remember the first time the video was shown on MTV (back when it was still relevant and still MTV Europe) and both me and my older sister being stunned and surprised by how good the track and video was. Even at 8 years old and nothing of a Kylie fan (and still not to this day though she has knocked out a good tune or two in her time) I knew this was a great tune.
the end result was some really great music, some of which was produced by deconstructions popular acts. i really don't know why it didn't do better
it also started an interesting period where she duetted with nick cave and did a track written by the manic street preachers
impossible princess was also great. it's hard to believe she was dropped from the label, which is usually a sign of failure, yet went on to even bigger commercial success with her next album light years which had some fantastic tracks
coming from someone who did such an awful track, i should be so lucky, and some of the awful stuff on her early PWL albums it's surprising she ended up following that path
confide in me was the first kylie record i could buy without embarrassment due to it being on deconstruction. before then i would get slagged for buying her stuff
On a separate note, I still adore the follow up single Put Yourself In My Place. Such a shame this didn't become a big hit for Kylie.
You must be one of the rare few who not only like Word is Out but actually consider it among her best! I didn't realise such people existed haha. In fairness, I don't think WIO is as bad as people make out.
Anyone else think it bears a resemblance to 'Frozen' by Madonna? I'm aware that 'Confide In Me' came out a few years before.
Confide In Me and Love Takes Over Me are my two favourite Kylie tracks. Happy Bday CIM!
