Kylie Minogue - Body Language

Body Language is the ninth studio album by Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue, originally released in November 2003 via Parlophone Records.

Following the commercial success of her eighth studio album Fever (2001), Minogue enlisted a diverse group of writers and producers to aid in creating a new album, including Cathy Dennis, Dan Carey, Emiliana Torrini, Johnny Douglas, and Kurtis Mantronik among others.

Influenced by the musical works of the 1980s and artists like Prince and Scritti Politti, Body Language musically differs from Minogue's previous albums, which mainly featured disco-oriented dance-pop tracks, and instead explores genres like synth-pop, electroclash, R&B, and hip hop. Lyrically, the album touches upon themes of flirtation, romance, introspection and heartbreak.

Following its release, Body Language received generally favourable reviews from music critics, many of whom complimented Minogue for experimenting with new genres and the overall production of the album.

Body Language peaked at #2 on the Australian albums chart and was certified double-platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). In the United Kingdom, the album peaked at #6.

Three singles were released from Body Language. "Slow" was released as the lead single in November 2003 and was a commercial success, peaking at number one on the singles charts of Australia, Denmark, Spain and the United Kingdom. "Red Blooded Woman" was released as the second single and reached the top five in Australia and the United Kingdom. "Chocolate" was released as the final single and peaked inside the top 10 in the United Kingdom.

Body Language became notable for displaying another change in Minogue's persona and is cited as an example of her numerous "reinventions". The album sold 1.5 million copies worldwide.

Body Language was reissued for the album's twentieth anniversary, on vinyl for the first time ever, on 8 March 2024.

This album is a 20^th Anniversary limited edition on opaque red coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve and art print, pressed in Germany via Parlophone Records.
