Kiss Me Once is the twelfth studio album by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue. It was released by Parlophone on 14 March 2014, her first studio album release since Aphrodite (2010), and first and only album under the management of Jay Z's Roc Nation.[1][2] The album is Minogue's first release under Warner Music Group worldwide, after the company purchased Parlophone. In North America, it was released by Warner Bros. Records, while in the United Kingdom under Parlophone.

Upon its release, Kiss Me Once was met with positive reviews from music critics, many who complimented Minogue's return to mainstream dance music and felt it lived up to expectations. However, critics were divided in the content; many praised it as a solid record, while some felt it was dated and that she tried too hard, along with its lack of innovation from Minogue's perspective.[3] Commercially, Kiss Me Once had under-performed greatly worldwide to the point where Minogue ended her management contract with Roc Nation, citing her feelings of being "misunderstood as an artist".

In Minogue's native Australia, the album entered at number one on the Australian Albums Chart, becoming her fourth number-one album. In the United Kingdom, the album faced strong competition with George Michael's Symphonica, which eventually went to number one with Minogue at number two on the UK Albums Chart. Globally, however, the album performed moderately, peaking in the top 20 in countries including Switzerland, New Zealand, Germany, France and The Netherlands. It also peaked at number thirty-one on the US Billboard 200.

Two singles and one promotional single were released from Kiss Me Once. "Into the Blue" was the lead single and performed moderately worldwide, charting in France, Switzerland and Spain. In Australia, the song missed the top twenty, peaking at forty-six. It missed the top ten in the United Kingdom, at number twelve. "I Was Gonna Cancel" was released on May 12, 2014 by Parlophone Records as the second single from the album, becoming successful on Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs in the United States peaking at number five, while in the UK Singles Chart at number fifty-nine. To further promote the album, Minogue embarked on the accompanying Kiss Me Once Tour in September 2014.

Development and recording

Following the release of The Abbey Road Sessions (2012), Minogue split ways with her long-term manager, Terry Blamey and signed a new management deal with rapper Jay-Z's imprint Roc Nation.[4][5][6] Following this new deal, Minogue continued work on her twelfth studio album throughout 2013, with reports emerging in February 2013 that Minogue had been working with singer-songwriter Sia Furler.[7]

The album was mainly recorded in Los Angeles, with further recording sessions being held in New York City and London. In March 2013, Minogue posted on Twitter a photo of a microphone with the label Stargate beneath it, indicating that she had been working with the duo on the new album.[8] Other collaborators throughout 2013 included Darkchild,[9] Brooke Candy,[10] MNDR[11] and will.i.am.[12] The eve of Minogue's forty-fifth birthday, it was revealed that Minogue had recently recorded an "interesting" collaboration, later to be revealed as a collaboration with Enrique Iglesias.[13] On the same day, she unveiled a promotional single, "Skirt", a buzz single for Kiss Me Once.[14][15]

In May 2013, when discussing the album with Rolling Stone, Minogue stated that the album was "bringing out something different [...] which is cool". She also recognised that she had to "do something different", but added that the album "will maintain the DNA of what a Kylie track is, because I'm on it. I like to try and move the goalpost and experiment with different sounds."[16]

Speaking to Idolator about Sia Furler's involvement as executive producer, Minogue has said that they had worked together a couple of times, writing music. Minogue stated: "I got on with her so well. [...] I asked her if she would executive-produce. I was hoping she would say yes. I didn’t know if it was something she had done or was interested in, or if maybe she just preferred writing and doing her own music."[17] In an interview with Billboard, Minogue expressed that she had an epiphany during her "Kylie 25" campaign in 2012, stating, "I felt like I needed a new landscape, and once you've got your feet on the ground you're raring to go. [...] So far the support has been great, and it's just another part of this amalgamation of 'new' that I had wished for and was struck by."[18]

Composition

The first song and single "Into the Blue" was written by Kelly Sheehan, Mike Del Rio and Jacob Kasher. The song incorporates instrumentation from strings, guitars and synthesizers; as well as being generalized as part of the EDM genre, it has been called "a winner of a pop song which has a damn catchy, lightly brushed with electronic dance music sound that deep down is pretty much a classic Kylie Minogue pop tune. It will make you dance even if you're not a 40-something gay man or a handbag disco 30-something woman."[19] The second song, "Million Miles" written by Peter Wallevik, Daniel Heløy Davidsen, Cutfather and Chelcee Grimes, begins with guitars.[20] The musical composition was compared to material from her 2000 effort Light Years. Samesame.com.au said "Kylie purrs in the middle bridge and delivers her own unique brand of PG temptress in a way no other can."[21] The lyrical content concerns sex with someone without any emotional connection. "I Was Gonna Cancel" was labelled the most "interesting" track on the record, and was written and produced by Pharrell Williams, Minogue's first collaboration with him. Minogue described the circumstances which inspired the writing of the song: "I had two days with him and did two songs, one of which is on my album and it's called 'I Was Gonna Cancel' - because I was having the worst day. Everything was too much. So my second day going in I was literally talking to myself saying, 'Keep it together, this is a very important day, it's Pharrell.' And I burst into tears as soon as I got there. That's why he wrote 'I Was Gonna Cancel' as I didn't feel like going, but had to."[22] Musically, the song is influenced by electro-funk music and has been compared to The Neptunes.[20][21] The fourth track "Sexy Love" written by Peter Wallevik, Daniel Heløy Davidsen, Wayne Hector, Autumn Rowe, Cutfather, is "disco-tinged and with a hint of slap bass"; Minogue sings "You look so sexy in my head, you looks so sexy in my bed". The Guardian compared Minogue's performance to Barbadian singer Rihanna, but her image was perceived as "fun".[20] The song has been frequently referred to as the "offspring" of her previous singles "Love at First Sight" (2002) and "Wow" (2008).[21]

"Sexercize" was written by Sia Furler, who served as executive producer on the album along with Minogue, and is inspired by dubstep music. Compared again to Barbadian-American singer Rihanna, the song was also compared to tracks from her tenth studio album X (2007). "Feels So Good" is a remake of "Indiana" written by Tom Aspaul[23] and is "the sort of feather-light modern dance pop that Kylie does so well. The general air of luxuriousness is the perfect compliment to Kylie's airy vocals."[20] "If Only" is an electronic-inspired ballad with a heavy production and strong vocals. "Les Sex" (written by MNDR's Amanda Warner and Peter Wade Keusch) was noted by The Guardian as the best song on the album and was recommended by many music critics as a possible future single.[20] The title song, "Kiss Me Once" was appreciated by music critics for its lyrical content, which talks about the celebration of romance rather than sex, a common theme on the album.[21] The album's only duet "Beautiful", with Enrique Iglesias, "fits in well, thanks to the electronic sheen of the production and vocals performances in which both singers sound like robots slowly powering down."[20] In an interview with The Huffington Post, Minogue said about the recording; "Sadly we didn't record together [...] I remember I was in Paris... and at the end of the day the email came through with that song and it just made everything slow down and I really had visions of the song. It's very moving and I really wanted to be on it. Definitely. I was a little fearful that he might change his mind!".[24] The closing song "Fine" was the only song co-written by Minogue herself, and "perfectly bookends opener 'Into the Blue'’s strain of self-help realism, with Kylie delivering lines such as 'You’re going to be fine,' and 'It’s going to be okay, a brighter day will come.'"[20] Musically, "Fine" incorporates "'90s house, processed hand claps, and a rousing empowerment theme. A perfect bookend for an album celebrating the finer things in life. ‘Turn your face into the sun, sun, sun’ rouses a euphoric Kylie and with an energy such as this, it’s hard to ignore the word of Minogue."[21]

Kiss Me Once received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 66, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 19 reviews.[3] Alexis Petridis from the The Guardian, gave Kiss Me Once three stars out of five. He described the album as "glossy, depthless pop". Petridis felt that the album has "A handful of great moments, a bunch of filler, some excruciating lyrics about sex", while praising the songs "Sexy Love", "I Was Gonna Cancel", "Kiss Me Once" and "Les Sex".[63] Brittany Spanos from Spin gave Kiss Me Once a rating of seven out of ten. Spanos said that the album "lacks cohesion, but that hardly matters". According to Spanos, the standout songs on the album are "Into the Blue" and "Fine", which she describes as "two outstanding examples of empower-pop done right", while the majority of album is made up of "club-ready, tightly produced romantic pop gems".[69] NME reviewer Ben Cardew gave Kiss Me Once a rating of seven out of ten as well. Cardew said that the album proves that "after 26 years in the business, Kylie can still pull off a very modern pop album".[65] Andy Gill from The Independent gave the album three stars out of five, calling it "a partial success". Gill felt that Kiss Me Once is "more engaging and more characterful than either X or Aphrodite". Gill's noteworthy songs were "I Was Gonna Cancel", "Les Sex" and "Sexy Love".[64] Philip Matusavage from MusicOMH was mixed in his review, awarding the album with two stars. Matusavage said that Minogue should have chosen this moment for a "radical reinvention", calling the album her "most anonymous offering to date". Matusavage commended the songs "Feels So Good", "Fine" and "Les Sex".[70] Joe Sweeney from Slant Magazine gave the album a favorable review, awarding it with four stars out of five. Sweeney said that Minogue along with her songwriters and producers "stick with the winning formula of caffeinated synth-pop and disco, with a touch of dubstep tossed in for the kids". Sweeney praised the tracks "Sexy Love", "Into the Blue" and "Fine".[68]

Kitty Empire from The Observer awarded the album with three stars out of five. Empire described the album as "Polished but kittenish" and said that it "remains true to the effervescent dance-pop for which Kylie is known". Empire felt that the album's "contemporary American slant adds up to a handful of anonymous R&B filler tracks".[66] AllMusic reviewer Tim Sendra gave the album a favorable review, rating it with four stars out of five. He called it a "intoxicating blend of uptempo dance tracks, funky club cuts, sexy midtempo jams, and the occasional ballad". Sendra concluded his review by saying that Kiss Me Once is "a glittering, fun, and surprisingly powerful album that's classic Kylie through and through".[60] At USA Today, Elysa Gardner rated the album with three stars out of four, stating that the songs "may not stick to your bones, but their light, bright touch will give you a warm rush".[71] Fact reviewer Joe Muggs gave Kiss Me Once three and a half discs out of five. Muggs felt that Minogue's voice "remains as distinctive as it’s ever been" and that the album has "proper character and craft throughout". He praised the songs "I Was Gonna Cancel", "Sexercize", "Sleeping with the Enemy" and "Feels So Good".[62] A favorable review came from Clash, where reviewer Ian Wade gave the album a rating of seven out of ten. He said that Minogue "knows what she's doing, and she does it very well". Wade called Kiss Me Once "a triumph" and felt that it "proves a lot more memorable than Body Language or her previous studio set, 2010's Aphrodite".[72] Jon Dolan from Rolling Stone awarded the album with three stars out of five. Dolan felt that most of the production on Kiss Me Once has a "respect-the-goddess quality befitting an icon of her status". He also complimented Minogue's "tasteful self-awareness" by calling it "the rarest of diva virtues".[73]
