Listening to ‘X’ now – Minogue’s much anticipated post-illness album – it sounds like she was in a transition, caught Between the playful pop icon and the tabloids’ “Brave Kylie”. But ‘Aphrodite’’s uniting sound is lightness, suggestion the singer’s found a more peaceful place. Stuart Price is the perfect choice of musical partner; he harnesses both Minogue’s hook-tastic side and her more interesting ‘wonky pop’ side. Subsequently, ‘Aphrodite’ is her most unified work in ages. Highlights are many, but worth a particular mention are the call-to-arms of the title track and ‘Better Than Today’ which revisits her cutesy S/A/W days with a knowing wink.

現(xiàn)在再次回顧Kylie Minogue的《X》——備受萬(wàn)人矚目的大病痊愈后的首張回歸專輯——聽(tīng)上去她正處于轉(zhuǎn)型期，夾在俏皮的流行偶像和八卦雜志口中的“勇敢的凱莉”之間。但《Aphrodite》整體氛圍是”輕盈“的，表明這位歌手已找到一個(gè)更寧?kù)o的地方。Stuart Price是音樂(lè)搭檔的不二之選；他平衡好了Kylie Minogue抓耳的hook的一面和她更有趣的“有點(diǎn)另類”的一面。然后，《Aphrodite》是她職業(yè)生涯中整體性最強(qiáng)的作品。專輯亮點(diǎn)很多，但但特別值得一提的是主打單曲《Better Than Today》中的戰(zhàn)斗號(hào)令，這首歌以一種別有會(huì)心的眼色回顧了她嬌媚的S/ a /W日子。
