Kylie Minogue – The Abbey Road Sessions

Liverpool Daily Post — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT

IT'S Kylie as you've never heard her before. For her 12th album, the Australian pop princess has decided to forego the high-end production and fancy effects, instead relying on her voice and full orchestra for stripped-down versions of the biggest hits of her 25-year career. Her voice, which may sometimes be lost within the mainstream renditions, sounds amazing on these acoustic revisits, with stand-out tracks including an emotional Better The Devil You Know, a stylish take of first hit The Locomotion, an epic I Should Be So Lucky featuring dramatic strings, a poignant All The Lovers, a country-inspired Hand On Your Heart and a rich-sounding Can't Get You Out Of My Head. Recorded at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios, the record – which also includes the previously unreleased Flower – is a reminder of why Minogue continues to be top of the pops after more than two decades.
