Amazon.co.uk Review
Fever was released on a wave of publicity as the lead single "Can't Get You Out of My Head" battled in the charts with the debut effort from Spice diva
Victoria Beckham... and won spectacularly. Just over a year since
Kylie's disco inspired
Light Years and her sound has progressed again; plundering the retro style of post-disco electro from the late 1970s and showing what might have happened if Kraftwerk had produced Donna Summer or Chic. Unlike most pop albums or indeed pop artists, the album is geared towards hi-NRG dance rather than pedestrian "I love lovin' you" ballads.
Aside from the aforementioned hit single another standout is "Give It To Me", a great piece of dance pop that has everything from Britney-style wailings to Basement Jaxx funk wrapped up with a catchy and typically suggestive chorus. The closest Kylie gets to a gentler moment is right at the very end with "Burning Up", a breezy guitar progression with laid-back melody, but this doesn't last long as the need to start dancing again takes hold and it breaks into some electro funk to finish Fever on a definite high. In short, if you liked "Can't Get You Out of My Head" you won't be disappointed with this pop masterpiece. --David Trueman
