Since the tragedy then triumph over a diagnosis of breast cancer, Kylie has laid low except for a few business ventures made purely to hold her over in the cash flow department. She has made a children's book, a stunning documentary about her life, and a greatest hits compilation which contains that wonderful Scissor Sisters collaboration. Kylie fans across the world were at their feet waiting for her next move. Little did they know she was prepping some of the hottest producers at the moment, and getting ready to provide us with a shimmering collection of exquisite tracks.

"X" is the appropriately titled tenth studio long player from Miz Minouge. It opens up with a glitzy array of rock and synths on her new single "2 Hearts". At first you're not sure what to think of this "re-invented" Kylie, is this mediocre track what we should expect to see on the charts? Sure enough, the thud of bass rings in, then the big drop takes over and "Like A Drug" leaps in unleashing an incredible sample of the 1981 classic, "Fade To Grey" by Visage. "In My Arms" is a classic Kylie track that makes you fall in love with her all over again. "Speakerphone" would be her most ambitious track off this album. An extremely robotized Kylie commands to "Drop your socks, and grab your mini boom-box". This track totally puts anything off that Britney album to shame!

With a familiar turn of knobs, the Calvin Harris produced "Heart Beat Rock" kicks in. She knew exactly what she was doing when she gave this guy a call. This track is incredible and like any other Harris production makes you shake the rump. "The One" is just what everyone has been waiting for all their lives. It's the best track off this album and contains a high energy disco inspired pulsating beat incorporating Kylie's magical voice that is sure to get some hefty remixing done to it; keep in mind the song should be left alone all together. "All I See" sounds like a Janet Jackson reject, which is really not a problem. Kylie does R&B with complete justice, making you realize the track was always intended for the little Australian princess.

Other highlights off "X" include "Nu-di-ty", a whopping garage house track complete with wobbled horns courtesy of super duo Bloodshy & Avant. "Stars", another of those synth rock influenced tracks. "Wow", a campy and cheesy track that a Kylie album would be incomplete without. And a few others have been thrown in there to continue the joy. Out of forty or so tracks which had been made for this album, the final thirteen are really terrific. I'm a bit upset the tracks Mylo had produced didn't make the cut; they are equally if not better than some of the tracks that did make the cut.

I've never been a raging Kylie Minogue fan. I'm simply a music lover that will give credit where credit is most certainly due. After one of the biggest comebacks in history, surviving breast cancer, and being just the cutest little Aussie ever, Miz Minogue has won me over. It helps that she turned it out like a "Streisand ticket holding, friend of Dorothy", and has crafted a masterpiece using twinkling stars in the sky.
