You keep talking about the Giorgio Moroder song but it never even made the top 100. I think its Kylie's biggest flop single ever. So that sound obviously didn't work for her at all.

I don't agree. It's an excellent song and the first one Kylie sounds like she cares in far too long, but evidently it was poorly promoted. The artwork on the single is dreadful, which will put some people off. Kylie is doing her best but with poor promotion she may as well be releasing three-and-a-half minutes of farts. She needs to leave Parlophone.

NB: It wasn't her single, it was Giorgio Moroder's.

Whilst I'm a big Kylie fan, I have tbh, KMO was a huge disappointment, the songs themselves were pretty good, but the album sounded so dated and she didn't look like she really cared much about the album, the whole campaign went by with a whimper, no hit single, no sell-out tour, she just didn't make any kind of impact this time around. I don't think she had much promotion either, I don't really count The Voice, because she wasn't promoting her music on there, just her coaching skills, it'd be different if every other sentence had her reference her new album to a contestant or weekly performances.

I love a bit of Kylie and purchase her albums but Kiss Me Once is her worst album and i would agree it has the sound of she didnt care too much about. Les Sex was the only song i can say is good but otherwise its totally forgettable. It is hard to know what is the next move for Kylie to achieve better album sales.

Trust me, I would love Kylie to step away from recording albums full of happy pop songs about parties and falling in love. I'm not saying she needs to go completely to the left and alienate her whole fan base, but it would be nice if she recorded albums that had more variety, more of an edge and were a little deeper. I would also like to see her involved in the writing process a lot more. I actually think her voice would suit the sort of sound that London Grammar, Snakadaktal, Say Lou Lou and GEMS have.

One of the biggest problems in Kylie's career over the last eight years or so is that her record label have often played it safe when picking singles. All the Lovers worked because it's a slice of classic Kylie, but it's also mature and euphoric (same goes for I Believe in You). Singles like Wow and Get Outta My Way are immature pop songs that a singer half her age should have released. X frustrates me because some of the unused demos were better than some of the songs on the actual album. She could have taken that album so much further. Hopefully with Parlophone out of the picture Kylie might be willing to take more risks and assert more influence over her music, something I think she could do on a small record label.

By the way, I think Sleeping with the Enemy has a cool 1990s sound. I didn't mean dated in a bad way.


Kylie has confirmed that she has left Parlophone. She has said that it’s nice to be able to work on new music without a major record label breathing down her neck. She’s at a point in her career where she doesn’t have anything left to prove in regards to chart success. I really want her to use this turning point to stretch herself and work with writers and producers who can bring something new and fresh to the table and help her spread her wings. She gets called a flop no matter what she does so she might as well stick two fingers up and just do whatever she wants. I love it when she steps outside of the box that people put her in. I really want another Confide in Me moment when she does something completely unexpected of her. She also needs to ditch Will Baker and Roc Nation.

I would be very happy for her to sign to a smaller label who can really help her evolve her music. If it means downsizing her tours then so be it. She has proven that she doesn't need big productions to put on a great show. Intimate and Live, Money Can't Buy, and The Anti Tour were all fantastic.

I'm so glad she's left Parlophone. They haven't done a release right since Body Language or Ultimate Kylie if we're counting greatest hits.

Agreed. Money Can't Buy is one of my favourite concerts ever. I absolutely love it - so cool. I was hoping the KMO tour would be similar but on a bigger scale.

So glad she's left Parlophone. Hope this is the beginning of Kylie's next renaissance. I know she has nothing left to prove, but she's talented and hard-working - she deserves a new era of success!

I'm actually not that surprised RHRN bombed-it sounded like a left over track from her Fever album-and most of the promotion of it was geared solely towards a nostalgia market.

Kylie really has nothing to prove, but she really needs to develop a new style if she wants to find a new audience. The whispering Disco Sex Bomb is an act she's been doing for a good 15 years-and we all know she's capable of much more.

Chasing 'new electro talent' hasn't really worked for her (ot tbh Madonna)-and the Moroder track was a mis step by being so derivative for both of them.

Kylie will always have her fan base-and as I say has nothing to prove. But i think people like her and Madonna will end up being the 'Cliff Richard' or 'Julio Iglesias' for the 80s and 90s generation if they keep on playing it so safe-fan idolised, but largely viewed as a joke.

I love both Ladies... but their recent output hasn't been their best. (Rebel Heart and the love for it baffles me-it's striking me as just as generic as MDNA)

Kylie hasn't left Parlophone... Where r people getting this from? Don't get me wrong, I wish she would... They have been truly AWFUL at managing Kylie's releases for years now. She deserves better.

As for KMO, I'm still enjoying it - the song r mostly good, but I think it was promoted in a lacklustre way. Would like to see kylie go in more adventurous dance mosaic. Skirt sounded promising and different to what we'd heard. Wasn't the best, but still a step in the right direction.

Yes she has - here. Might be best to check your facts in future.

her work with FG was great .... and such a step in right creative direction ... still don't know i can buy it ?

Sorry, who is FG?

Well, sorry! I simply hadn't heard the news, no need to bite my head off!

Glad she's parted ways with them, that's good news hopefully shel get a label who actually care about her releases now

I didn't bite your head off. But when you tell other people they are wrong when there is stuff out there that proves you are wrong, it just comes across as silly.

Kylie is no longer with Roc Nation now

Exciting times ahead then. I wonder if we will get a complete re-invention like we did after Impossible Princess.

I thought the Moroder track was awesome. Kiss Me Once was similar to MDNA in a lot of ways. Underperforming lead singles with poor second single choices. There were some good tracks on it. How sleeping With The enemy wasn't seen as good enough to be on the main album, yet I was Gonna cancel was good enough for a single release is baffling.

Not everything Pharrell touches is gold.

I've heard it and didn't like it at all.
