"All the lovers that have gone before, they don't compare to you"
We're really getting spoiled lately with all of these fantastic comebacks. Add Kylie to that list, because All The Lovers absolutely lives up to the hype. I was very disappointed by her last album (and lead single), but this feels like a brand new era. She's releasing exactly the type of music I hoped she would. All The Lovers, with its shimmery, otherworldly synths, hearkens back to her last great single (and one of my favorite Kylie tracks ever), 2004's I Believe In You. I can't think of any artist that can make this type of bittersweet disco melodrama as convincing as Kylie can. She feels completely plugged in this time around, treating the song as a theatrical, life-or-death paean to true love. If comparing the two (which is inevitable) I think I'll always prefer her to Madonna. The fact that she can bust out a single this epic this late in her career is actually pretty astounding (especially considering Madonna's recent output). If the album follows suit, we're in for a massive Minogue resurgence.
