Definitely one of my favourites from the Body Language album and I think it's one of her most alluring my singles. Shame that it's all been forgotten. It was originally going feature a rap verse from Ludacris but that was scrapped. Thank god it was as the song is perfect with just Kylie's vocals!

Love the whole album. Red Blooded Women being one of my favourite Kylie singles. Wish she'd dig both that and Chocolate out on her next tour.
Out of all her many sounds over the years, this is the one I wish she'd return to the most. Gorgeous.
Yes this is definitely my fave Kylie album because of the more urban/RnB sound she went for. Shame there was no tour for this album. Chocolate definitely needs to be revisited with a live performance next time she tours!
What was the difference between the two versions? I didn't realised there was a single edit.
Lmao! Really? He should go take a look at some of his X factor acts then and some of the crap they churn out. This one of Kylie's best underrated singles.
100% agree.
Chocolate is one of my favourite Kylie songs, it's beautiful. The Body Language era is pretty underrated. The Brigitte Bardot inspired imagery was perfect, the three singles and music videos were great, the album was strong and the Money Can't Buy show was amazing.
It is by far my fave Kylie era. Everything about it was perfect IMO.
The single version is slightly more polished and about 1 minute shorter. I don't know if she re-recorded the vocals as well.
I love it when pop stars use any sort of Brigitte Bardot inspired imagery, the album booklet was stunning. Was Money Can't Buy her only live concert during this era?
I didn't even know they used a single edit lol.
I may be wrong but I'm sure he said that about Ride It by Geri Halliwell?
"If I was her record label and that video arrived on my desk I would throw it in the bin" - his exact words about Ride It, not Chocolate.
This is my fave Kylie album. It just flows so well. Trouble is it was bound to underperform (someone else in another post said it only reached no.6) as she was coming off the back of a very successful era with Fever. Crazy to think that but there's not that many artists that can pull off two successful eras back to back.
My favourite Kylie album too - up their with Impossible Princess. Loving Days is one of the most gorgeous songs she's ever released IMO. I would have loved a proper tour for this.
At the time I remember being very disappointed because it was such a different sound for her and I was annoyed that she moved so quickly from the sound that was clearly so successful for her. But looking back, i'm so glad she did. I still can't stand the album cover though. The artwork for this era was stunning, but that cover... horrid!
It's also one of her few albums which flows like a proper album. Some brilliant b-sides too. Almost a Lover and City Games are such good tracks.
Saying that, I also never noticed that their was a difference in the album and single versions of Chocolate! I have listened to both just now and it is pretty obvious so I don't know how I missed that previously - especially with the difference in length!
I'm also glad she didn't have a rapper on the track as that would have ruined a perfect song.
