CD - Kylie Minogue: The Abbey Road Sessions


It’s a big year for real-life Australian and honorary Brit, Kylie Minogue, and to make sure her 25th year in the music industry doesn’t slip by unnoticed, she’s released another album (her Best Of came out this summer) consisting entirely of past hits.

A little more effort has been put into The Abbey Road Sessions however, with every pop anthem and cheesy dance floor filler getting either a big band make-over or stripped down to the bare, acoustic essentials.

While The Locomotion and Better the Devil You Know were never going to be polished to too high a standard, even with the help of a full orchestra, some unexpected gems have been repackaged and, in some cases, bettered by the simpler delivery which allows the lyrics to shine in their own right without all the disco production drowning them out.
