Before recording Body Language, Kylie Minogue must have wondered how to follow Fever. That was an album that not only prompted six million people to grab a copy but sparked a national obsession with the diminutive pop diva's posterior. Well, breaking Madonna's record as the female solo artist with the greatest UK chart-topping longevity isn't a bad start. Fifteen years after Kylie first reached the pinnacle of the UK chart with "I Should Be So Lucky", "Slow" took the mini minx to the top for the seventh time. Oozing with the same entrancing blend of seductive electronica, spiralling rhythms and breathy vocals that sent hormones raging with "Can't Get You Out of My Head", "Slow" was cowritten by Minogue and is easily the finest moment on Body Language.
Despite the army of writers, Body Language is a surprisingly cohesive serving of R&B-lite, laced with a sprinkling of Prince-style 1980s disco-fuelled funk, such as "Still Standing", which finds Kylie pronouncing "You know you want it!" amid a bed of grinding bass and squelching synths. There are moments such as "Red Blooded Woman" when the generic-pop production machine all but eradicates any sense of Kylie, but on the whole the formulaic funk and predictable pop styling is outweighed by the soap survivor's inimitable presence. As a result, Body Language is sure to work its magic. --Christopher Barrett

Body Language' represents a return to a more adventurous direction for Kylie without losing that commercial sensibility cemented by her previous record 'Fever.'
Influences here include Urban beats, especially evident in the fantastic 'Secret (Take You Home') and 'Red Blooded Woman,' Electronic Hip POP represented by the truly kooky 'Sweet Music' and Prince-esque funk on 'I Feel For You.'
Kylie even slows the pace with a slice of RnB Electro on 'Chocolate,' the anthemic orchestral 'Loving days' (a MUST for a single)! and the sublime 'Someday' (featuring Green Gartside).
Body Language is an absoulote must have record which is on an entirely different level to her last album.

This import edition of Kylie's album Body Language is worth it if you would like to hear the tracks You Make Me Feel and Slow Motion, which are bonus tracks. But the standard edition is fine for me, including the normal 12 tracks and at a cheaper price you are probably better off getting that edition. Includes Slow, Red Blooded Woman and Chocolate.

After years of cult status in the United States, Kylie Minogue finally made another big splash in 2002 with "Fever," a disco drenched album featuring knockout tunes like "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and "Love at First Sight." But anyone looking for more of the same will be disappointed in "Body Language," which, as of this writing, is only available as an import before it gets released Stateside in 2004. "Body Language" is disappointing for two reasons: 1) it abandons the disco flavor of its predecessor in favor of r&b lite and 2) the album lacks a signature, standout track. The only single that comes even close is the kickoff track "Slow," a seductive, synth-heavy mid-tempo groove that shot to Number One in the US. But at least half of "Body Language" is dull, ranging from clunkers like "Still Standing" to "Secret" (which steals the hook from Lisa Lisa's "I Wonder If I Take You Home") to "I Feel For You." "Body Language" fares slightly better with "Red Blooded Woman," the lovely ballad "Loving Days," and the laid back and understated groove of "After Dark." "Body Language" isn't a bad album, but it's a maddeningly uneven one lacking consistency and quality material. It's not quite sure if the American version will have different tracks, but I can tell you right off the bat that this disc won't register with much of her U.K. listeners. That said, I really can't recommend "Body Language" to anyone other than diehard Kylie fans.

Improves with age, like a fine wine!
I admit to being underwhelmed when Body Language was first released. It just wasn't the instant pop injection that I was looking for. Read more

Best Kylie Minogue album
I can understand why people who love "Fever" doesn't like this album that much. It's not a classical dance pop album like Fever. Read more

I'll start off by saying I'm a huge Minogue sisters fan, so I really tried to love BODY LANGUAGE. But just because I'm a fan doesn't mean I'm going to throw in the words `Stunning'... Read more

Lyrically Interesting & Beautiful! Well Produced & Innovative
I really enjoyed this album, very lyrically interesting and quite experimental, I do hear the 'urban' RnB' sound perhaps it is more closer to her influences and reflects her own... Read more

Move with the body
It's all too natural for singers and other artists to want to stretch their limits, not keep themselves restricted to the same ol' same ol'. Read more
