    One of her best, although she really needs to grow up and stop thinking about money. She is definetely a singles artist, and her only great album was Impossible Princess, since then its been all about making commercial pop/dance songs. She wrote very few of these tracks, so she can not claim credit for the experimental tracks here. It gets a 6 because of Slow - her best ever single, and a One of her best, although she really needs to grow up and stop thinking about money.

    Some tracks ('Chocolate', 'Sweet Music') are crafted to perfection. Others are a little on the odd side. Many are undanceable, have little melody structure and don't have much personality. However, this did mark the moment Kylie truly became an icon. 'Slow' and 'Red Blooded Woman' proved she was a serious electronic artist. Not her greatest or most lovable, but certainly her first matureSome tracks ('Chocolate', 'Sweet Music') are crafted to perfection. Others are a little on the odd side.

    The album brought a more R&B sound with the goal of Kylie Minogue to remain in the US market after the success of the album "Fever". However, the style did not match with Minogue, even though she was a complete artist to suit different styles.

    Kylie’s 9th studio album, Body language contains a mix of electropop beats and a mixture of loads of other electronic beats combined with a RnB feel. The album is almost all over the place with electronic “Slow” to RnB style “Chocolate”. I would like the album more if it had taken one path instead of looking down other paths and not taking a single one and just to walk down a single pathKylie’s 9th studio album, Body language contains a mix of electropop beats and a mixture of loads of other electronic beats combined with a RnB feel.

    A suite of weak songs and half-finished ideas. [Mar 2004, p.120]

    Body Language isn’t so much a massive artistic leap as it is a total distillation of her sound and style.

    Body Language finds Kylie partying like it's 1987 all over again, only minus the dubious millinery and Jason Donovan, taking inspiration from the likes of Kool and the Gang and Prince to pleasing if not always memorable effect.
