Linha do Cila: pop não fica muito melhor que isso.
On Kylie’s new album Body Language, she makes the move from disco to the more synthetic strains of synth pop, obviously inspired by the likes of Gary Numan and Giogio Moroder, not to mention the aforementioned 2002 remix.¹ In contrast to the pulsating, hi-hat driven dance beat of Fever‘s “More More More”, Body Language gets off to a more understated start. “Slow”, the first single, and focal point of the entire album, kicks off with a minimal synth intro that sounds like it came straight from an Atari 2600 console, as clicking beats stutter along. Minogue is at her most sultry and seductive, as she croons, “Knew you’d be here tonight/ So I put my best dress on/ Boy I was so right,” as the synths build up subtly, only to come to an immediate halt on the hypnotic chorus. As on Fever, Minogue knows that less is more, her lack of vocal range [discordo com veemência] veiled by the simple arrangement. Co-written by Icelandic-Italian chanteuse Emiliana Torrini, it’s one of the strongest singles of Minogue’s career.

“Red Blooded Woman” blends the 80s sound with an almost garage-like beat, the lyrics containing yet another ’80s reference (Dead or Alive this time), not to mention a great line in, “You’ll never get to Heaven if you’re scared of getting high.”
