Kiss Me Once is the 12th studio album by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue. It was released March 18 2014, and is her first studio album release since Aphrodite (2010), and first album under the management of Jay Z's Roc Nation. The first song and first 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 electronic dance music genre. If you know anything about my critiques of music, you’ll know that I believe the first single released is the most important release of an album so it’s very important for the record label to get the first single right. As with most of Kylie’s singles – the label once again picked the wrong song to use as the first single for the album. Parlophone had it right with “Spinning Around” as the first single from the “Light Years” album and “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” from her...
That is the question I'm asked whenever people find out that I've been a Paula Abdul fan for over 25 years. It's a valid question. 25 years is a long time. Out of the thousands of celebrities to grace planet earth, why Paula Abdul? To begin, I never imagined that I’d be a fan of anyone for 25+ years let alone a fan of Paula Abdul. It started with a series of small events that gradually occurred over time and eventually led to my admiration of her work. I think Paula is genuine, funky, and cool. Her brand of entertainment has always been family oriented and she's a great role model no matter who you are, no matter the age. You don't have to look very hard to see that she has a big heart. Paula Abdul first stepped onto the music scene way back in 1988. Yours truly must have been around 10 years old at the time. Back then I was a dorky little kid who liked playing Legos and listening to Weird Al and of course, oldies on the radio (song’s from the 60’s and 70’s...
After releasing the single “Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up” in 1996, Paula Abdul changed her focus to a career in television. She returned to the pop scene in 2008’s “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow” with American Idol Judge Randy Jackson followed by the 2009 single, “I’m Just Here For The Music.” Paula has reported that she’s been working on a new album of material since 1997 when she was signed to Mercury Records. In 1998, The Island/Def Jam Music Group acquired Mercury Records and dropped several artists from their roster including Paula before she completed her album. Eighteen years later, Paula isn't signed to a label, and a new album still hasn't materialized. I've been a fan of Paula Abdul's for many years now. Often, I can't help but think about what "could-have-been" when it comes to the future of her music career. As you already know, Paula had 2 mega-successful albums "Forever Your Girl" and "Spellbound" with a...
