Kylie Minogue - Rhythm Of Love - The Singles (PWL / 1990 - 1991)

Heading back to the early 90's we have four of Kylie's biggest and long enduring single releases.
Not necessarily the highest charting of her career but definitely dancefloor monsters that rocked the more discerning clubs back in the day. These releases are the epitome of PWL's output and all feature on her third album "Rhythm Of Love"...

First up "Better The Devil You Know"- the first release from "Rhythm Of Love".
This single showcased a more mature sound compared to Kylie's previous "fluffier" releases.
The track hit a peak of number 2 on the UK national charts in April 1990.

Following on from "Better The Devil You Know" the second release "Step Back In Time" was released in October 1990. It entered and peaked at number 4 on the UK charts.

Third release "What Do I Have To Do" is in my opinion Kylie's best single release ever!
The track was initially due to be released as the second single but was pushed back in favour of
"Step Back In Time" at the last minute in order to spend more time remixing the track.
This little beauty has never really left my record box and listening to it now it's not hard to see why. This "Pump & Polly" Mix really is the business!

Unfortunately the UK single buyers were a little dumb founded with Kylie's more sexually charged image and as a result the single only hit a peak of number 6 in January 1991. Hardly a disaster though.
The kids who were buying her early releases had moved on to pastures new but her new found gay following lapped this up... and quite rightly too.

The fourth and final release from "Rhythm Of Love" was given a complete overhaul my messrs. DNA who had previously reworked Suzanne Vega's accapella track "Tom's Diner" to stunning effect back in late 1990. This was the first time any outsider had managed to get their hands on a PWL release - let alone one from their biggest selling artist.
DNA radically overhauled the whole track into a more contemporary pulsating monster.
Featuring Jazzie P. on rapping duties, the track matched the peak of it's predecessor by hitting number 6 again.
