Untitled

Aphrodite is the eleventh studio album by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue. It was her first studio album in the three years following her 2007 release X. Aphrodite was released worldwide in July 2010,[2] and was preceded by the release of the lead single, "All the Lovers".

The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, just as her debut album, Kylie, had done in the same week, 22 years previously. It was her fifth album to reach number one in the United Kingdom. This made Minogue the first, and as of March 2011 the only, female recording artist in UK chart history to have a number one album in four consecutive decades, achieving this in the 1980s, 90s, 00s and 10s.[3][4][5]

Background and development

Minogue's record label Parlophone describes the album as "[Minogue] celebrating her dance-floor roots"[6] and announced the release of the record on 20 April 2010, along with a short snippet of the lead single "All the Lovers" on Minogue's web-site. The resultant traffic caused the site to momentarily crash from demand.[7] "All the Lovers" was one of the last songs written for the album, and was subsequently chosen as the lead single.[8] Minogue claims that the song "sums up the euphoria of the album perfectly. It gives me goose-bumps, so I'm really excited to hear what everyone thinks of it."[1]

Aphrodite features Stuart Price as executive producer, who also contributed to song writing along with Minogue, Price, Calvin Harris, Jake Shears, Nerina Pallot, Pascal Gabriel, Lucas Secon, Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley[2] and Kish Mauve.[8] Price became involved with the album after a writing session with Minogue in New York in late 2009;[8] his role in the album's development was to establish a level of quality control over the project by selecting the tracks he considered the strongest, mixing them, and seguing the finalised mixes into a flowing running order.[8] The album does not contain any ballads, however some were recorded during the album sessions.[8] One track, "Better than Today", was performed by Minogue on her North American For You, For Me tour prior to the completion of sessions for the album.[9] Price describes the album as "Kylie doing pop dance music at her best. When you look in your mind's eye at everything Kylie is, it's on this record."[1]

Production

In an interview with UK music website Popjustice, Minogue stated that she thought "that the inspiration for getting back in and starting this whole rollercoaster again was after the shows I did in North America. They were so from the heart and I felt so rewarded with the feeling and response from doing it."[10] When asked if Aphrodite could work as a farewell album, Minogue called it "joyful. It's like the jus of all the best bits of my musical career."[10] She has also described it as having "a feeling of euphoria".[11] The album's second single, "Get Outta My Way" was originally written by Lucas Secon, Cutfather and Damon Sharpe.[12] In an interview with HitQuarters, Secon described the track as "sexy electro disco with some clever lyrics and some real catchy melodies." He said the song was not written for any particular artist and at one point four different artists wanted to cut it as their first single before it was claimed by Kylie.[12] Minogue said at the album launch party in Ibiza that she found the recording process stressful. "I had sleepless nights and I was really getting stressed, but there was so much good energy from everyone involved that I thought it might just work."[13]

Release and promotion

Minogue performed the lead single, "All the Lovers", for the first time live at the Wind Music Awards in Verona, Italy on 29 May 2010.[14][15] The video made its debut on The Today Show in the United States the following June.[16] The song was also performed at the season finale of Germany's Next Topmodel,[17] on France's Le Grand Journal[18] and the UK chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross[19] that same month. The official album release party was held at club Pacha in Ibiza, Spain that July.[20] On her decision to launch the record in Ibiza, Minogue called the island "the spiritual home of dance."[21] While promoting the album in her home country of Australia, Minogue appeared on A Current Affair[22] and Hey Hey It's Saturday, her first Australian television performance in over a decade.[23] She was also interviewed on The 7PM Project[24] and performed "All the Lovers" on Dancing with the Stars.[25]

Minogue appeared on Alan Carr: Chatty Man that July to perform the second single off the album, "Get Outta My Way",[26] followed by performances on America's Got Talent,[27] the Miss Italia beauty pageant,[28] The Oliver Pocher Show, Schlag den Raab and Paul O'Grady Live[29] as well as on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.[30] The following October, she performed a concert in Egypt in front of the Sphinx and the Giza Necropolis,[31] as well as at the "EXA Concert" in Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes. This was followed by an appearance on the show "Décadas" on to promote the album.[32] Promotional appearances in the United States included the shows Dancing with the Stars and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[33]

In November that year, Minogue performed the third single "Better Than Today" on the UK reality show The X Factor, as well as on Children in Need.[34][35] The song was also performed the next month at the Capital FM Awards, the Royal Variety Show, and for Jools Holland's Annual Hootenanny.[36] As well as promoting the album's singles, Minogue performed "Santa Baby" and "Let It Snow" at the annual lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in New York the following December.[37]

Singles

The first single from Aphrodite was confirmed as "All the Lovers",[38] which had its official premiere in the United Kingdom on BBC Radio 1 on 14 May 2010.[39] Minogue confirmed on her official Twitter account that the video for the single would be directed by Joseph Kahn. It was filmed in Los Angeles and inspired by the works of American artist Spencer Tunick.[40] The single was been released as a digital download on 13 June, and physically released fifteen days later.[41] The single received positive reviews from music critics[42][43] and became Minogue's 33rd top ten single in the UK. It also peaked in the top 10 and top 20 of the music charts in Europe, Australia, Asia and became her 4th number one hit on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart.[44][45] PopMatters has ranked "All the Lovers" as the 43rd best single of 2010 on its "60 Best Singles of 2010" list,[46] while Popjustice ranked the song as the 23rd best single of 2010 on its "Top 45 Singles Of 2010" list.[47]

At the album launch party in Ibiza, Minogue confirmed that "Get Outta My Way" would be released as the second single.[48] It was released on 27 September.[49] In August, before the single was released, a thirty second teaser of the music video premiered on Parlophone's official YouTube channel. The full video was directed by AlexandLiane and featured live projections by Frieder Weiss. The single was released worldwide on September 27, except in Australia where it saw a release on October 8. In an interview, Kylie described "Get Outta My Way" as "pure pop dance" and "really infectious".[50] Digital Spy's Mayer Nissim gave the song four out of five stars, writing that "with its basic heartbeat rhythm, simply-layered sounds and classic arrangement, it's probably the warmest and most unsophisticated thing Kylie's put on plastic in a decade, but it really is all the better for it."[51] Christel Loar from PopMatters gave the song a positive review, stating that the track's "pulsing pull is irresistible even as Kylie tells her guy exactly what’s going to happen if he just sits there".[52] The song became Minogue's 5th number one song on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart[53], also charting Europe and Japan.[54]

"Better Than Today", having previously been performed on Minogue's For You, For Me tour, became the third single off the album and was released on 6 December in the UK.[34] A digital EP had been released the day before.[55] The video was debuted on 19 November, and was directed by Minogue and William Baker. "Better Than Today" received generally positive reviews from critics, many praising its country and dance style, with Entertainment Weekly calling it a standout track on the album.[56] BBC Music said the song was a "tech-country strut" that "throws up imagery of line-dancing cyborgs".[57] Digital Spy gave the song four stars out of five and described it as "sweet, seductive and pretty much impossible not to succumb to over and over again".[58] "Better Than Today" debuted at number sixty-seven on the UK Singles Chart based on digital download sales only. It eventually peaked at number thirty-two,[59] thus making it one of Minogue's lowest charting singles in the UK after "The One" which peaked at number thirty-six. The single also reached number twenty-seven in Scotland[60] and number sixty-three in France. In the United States, the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.[61] After the release of the physical single in March 2011 in Australia it debuted on the ARIA Top 100 at #55 on 21st March 2011, missing the top 50 but improving upon the peak of the previous single 'Get Outta My Way'.

After the relative failure of these last two singles, Minogue declared that she felt "let down" by her label.[62].

He said: "Sure, she'll never be mistaken for an octave-stretching diva or a vocal powerhouse, but her slightly nasal, girl-next-door vocals serve her needs perfectly."[64] Kerri Mason from Billboard gave the album a favorable review, stating that "Price's ability to create a consistent sound without sacrificing each track's individuality makes the journey cohesive, fun and fitting for a goddess."[65] Ian Wade from BBC Music gave the album a very favorable review, calling it "frothy, intensely hummable dance pop. The sort of thing she does with such effortlessness and grace."[73]

His review called it "nothing more than just another Kylie Minogue album", feeling that Minogue was "playing it safe" with the release.[74] A mixed review came from The Guardian where Caroline Sullivan awarded the album with three out of five stars, feeling that it was "limited to squeaks, exhalations and woe-begone sighs".[75] Barry Walters from Spin gave the album a favorable review, claiming that "Minogue delivers bliss like no other".[72]

Mikael Wood from Entertainment Weekly rated the album "A-", stating that "the diminutive Australian diva is still delivering disco thunder from Down Under."[67] Helen Clarke from MusicOMH said that the album "fails to quite hit the spot."[76] Margaret Wappler from the Los Angeles Times gave the album two and a half stars out of four, calling it "finely executed", but noting it didn't contain "many new ideas".[68]

Edna Gundersen from USA Today gave the album three stars out of four, noting the album's "effortless sass and sensuality".[77] PopMatters reviewer Christel Loar gave the album a rating of 7/10, stating the album was "filled with the frilly, fabulous dance-floor refrains for which Kylie is famous".[52] Priya Elan from NME gave the album a positive review, stating that "Aphrodite's uniting sound is lightness", and calling it Minogue's "most unified work in ages."[70]
