On her umpteenth album, Australian diva Kylie Minogue continues to dish out the dance-floor-ready tunes. Following up her international hit, "Can't Get You Out of My Head," Minogue isn't content to rehash that song; instead, she wraps herself in a luxurious robe of electro-beats and dreamy synthesizers. BODY LANGUAGE starts off with the sensual "Slow," a remarkably spare song that glides along on simple synth lines, bubbling beats, and, of course, Minogue's airy coo. This formula works well on other tracks, including the saucy "Secret (Take You Home)," the celebratory "Sweet Music," and the Bjork-like "Someday." Minogue also dips into past decades on certain tracks, such as the 1980s-inspired, vocoder-laced pop of "Still Standing" and the '70s guitar-driven funk of "I Feel for You." Throughout the album, Minogue works her BODY LANGUAGE with giddy pleasure, easily putting most of her contemporaries to shame.
Personnel includes: Kylie Minogue (vocals); Johnny Douglas (various instruments); Julian Gallagher, Alvin Sweeney (programming); Cathy Dennis (background vocals).
Producers include: Cathy Dennis, Kurtis Mantronik, Johnnyv Douglas, Baby Ash, Sunnyroads.

Q (01/01/04, p.75) - Ranked #50 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003" - "[It took] Prince's '80s blueprint for strident sexuality, spiked it with sci-fi effects and shimmied its way to perfection."
Kylie Minogue - Body Language Songs
Body Language Music Review
Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)    List All 14 Reviews BODY LANGUAGE is a great slow burn!
Kylie Minogue has proven to be an artist who transcends musical genres! While it is true that she has demonstrated proficiency primarily in pop, she has flexed her creative and artistic muscles for the incredible Body Language. It is refreshing to hear an artist using her voice instead of being used by her voice! As a true pop icon, Kylie has transcended the "pop princess" classification and gone on to become a true diva! Kylie has not only eclipsed Madonna, but is now on par with Cher (at half Cher's age)! Body Language finds Kylie taking the tempo of her art down a notch from the fever pitch of "Fever". Say it with me: "Slow can be very, very good". Just think about any of your favorite things you could do, only really nice and really slow! Kylie incorporates some R&B and even hip-hop flavors, borrowing samples from pop classics as diverse as 'Dead or Alive' and some of the best old-school flavors of Motown and Hi Records releases from the funkadelic 70s. What truly sets Body Language apart is Kylie's masterful fusion of her sound as well as many other diverse influences. 'Red Blooded Woman' is, perhaps, the most danceable track on the record: this track most resembles the more up-tempo Fever mood. 'Slow' is the kind of song that doesn't seem danceable at first; only once you find a nice, slow groove to enjoy it does this track's true brilliance emerge. The CD is rounded out nicely by a diverse variety of tracks that will keep you smoothly groovin'! Whether you're working-out, driving, or whatever, Body Language is the best
companion you could choose! Delivering on the promise of all Kylie is, transcending the pure R&B mold, and serving up what Britney Spears meant to do with her "In the Zone" release; this is one truly satisfying CD! Cruise Control and You Make Me Feel are great bonuses for the US release as are the videos for Slow and Can’t Get You Out Of My Head live from the Money Can’t Buy concert. Be sure to check out the awesome new Chemical Brothers Remix of Slow featured on the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy soundtrack too!
