My favorite new band, the Scissor Sisters, have hooked Kylie up with a first-class disco song on "I Believe I You." Jake Shears & Babbydaddy have concocted a knock-out piece of ear candy that captures all the elements of a great Kylie song- it's light, fun, minimalistic, & very Euro-disco. Imagine Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" re-produced by Pet Shop Boys. Like her 2003 single, "Slow," the song is so simplistic it's barely even there. Yet after 2 or 3 listens, you won't be able to deny its presence in your head.
The non-album track, "B.P.M" is a nice addition to the Kylie catalog- an energetic, upbeat dance track that could have sat comfortably on either of her last 2 albums.
As for the 2 remixes here, they are both mediocre. The Mylo vocal mix actually cuts out the chorus of the song & the Skylark mix is almost completely vocal-less, baring almost no resemblance to the original song. Pointless.
The video is included on this disc & mirrors the concept of the song: less is more. Kylie is simply standing inside a lighted globe, performing the song, looking as gorgeous as ever. Nothing groundbreaking, but fun if you're a fan.
So- skip the remixes & enjoy the rest!
While Kylie Minogue consistently makes the right collaborations, the same can't be said of Madonna. After the excellent Body Language, Kylie returns to the electronic whizz of Fever by working with Babydaddy and Jake Shears from one of 2004's most promising bands, The Scissor Sisters. The result - a good retro-electro mix complete with a lovingly dreamy chorus that seems to complement Ms Minogue's voice so flawlessly. This has to be one of the better singles out of 2004 besides the string of campy songs from the sisters themselves. It's clearly a right move for Kylie and if it's a sign of things to come, I am certainly waiting for Kylie's next album.
Mylo's Vocal Mix of I Believe You removes the charm of the original and replaces it with a slightly repetitive Euro dance beat. Certianly not one of Mylo's best mixes if you have heard stuff from his own album.
The Sylark Mix raises the barometer a tad bit more with a more dancefloor friendly backbeat and melody with little vocals.
The video to I Believe In You is simple yet beautifully shot with an airy quality to itand Kylie moving inside a big rotating wire cage.
For the title track itself, this CD is worth buying.
PS: CD1 of this single should have only two tracks, I Believe In You and BPM. This tracklisting with remixes and video should go to CD2 (Enhanced). Amazon.com should change the error.
Kylie Minogue, the most talented singer from Australia, has teamed up with Jake Shears and Babydaddy of Scissor Sisters for this amazing single! It's full of disco beats and electronic synthesizers! It's so good, you'll want to hear it again and again. Music like this makes me smile. I believe in Kylie and I think you should get this now!
Well, I just heard this song, and I have to say I'm impressed. I don't mind Kylie's music, but this is a great song. I never, ever would have guessed that it was co-written and produced by Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters. But regardless of who produced it, for a Kylie Minogue song, this is really good. She sings it well, not in the typical nose-quivering chipmunk style she usually uses. And the music itself is, dare I say it, 'pretty.' Don't get me wrong, it's just about every bit the sugar-coated beat-ballad you would expect from a pop star, but this time around, the sugar seems a little less artificial.
Love the original, hate the remixes. The Mylo mix sounds like a dirge and the Skylark mix isn't even the same song anymore.
