Information on album
In the UK, the album was on the charts at number 4, and a total sell more than 110,000 copies worldwide and the album sold more than 500,000 times. Confide In Me was the most successful single from Kylie Minogue with number 2 in the British charts and spent four weeks at No. 1 in Australia. In Germany the album but did not make the leap into the charts.
Minogue looked for even the producers and songwriters from with which they wanted to work together to increase their fan base and himself more to establish himself as an artist. The first recordings for the album took place in 1993 and brought two songs with St. Etienne and eight written by Minogue songs with the Rapino Brothers. These songs, however, were rejected by the record company as a step in the wrong direction, so that 16 more songs - six with Brothers in Rhythm, four with Jimmy Harry, three with Gerry DeVeaux, two with Pete Heller and Terry Farley and one with M People - added and two were re-recorded In Rhythm from the recordings with the Rapino Brothers of Brothers. The Pet Shop Boys Minogue sent a demo song that they had written especially for them. The song Falling, however, was completely revised, since he is more oriented towards the style of Minogue's old record label PWL, which you did not seek for the album. The eingesungene of the Pet Shop Boys demo version was released years later, however, on the Special Edition of the album Very. Many music critics praised Minogue for the bold step and the direction of the songs, however, described the album as disappointing and inconsistent.
On the black and white album cover Minogue wearing a dark suit and a large horn-rimmed glasses in order to distance itself from its former image as a tantalizing vamp and to draw attention to their creative side. Considered by many critics, this was considered strange decision since the three videos are among the singles to the permissive her career.
The album was remastered in 2003 and reissued with a bonus disc with some previously unreleased material.
Singles
In August 1994, the single Confide In Me was released. The single contains, inter alia, as a B- side a cover version of Prefab Sprout 's If You Do not Love Me Confide In Me was Minogue's most successful single release in the nineties.
As a follow-up single from Confide In Me was originally Where Is The Feeling? provided, but this was set aside in favor of Put Yourself In My Place. In the video for Put Yourself In My Place Minogue interprets the weightless striptease from the opening scene of the cult film Barbarella. Following the publication in November 1994 and placed Put Yourself In My Place both in Australia and in the UK respectively to number 11 in the singles charts.
Where Is The Feeling? was caused by Minogue's involvement in the filming of Biodome, until July 1995 released as the third single from the album. The single was able to position number 16 of the UK and number 31 of the Australian charts. Where Is The Feeling? is considered one of the least commercially oriented single from Minogue as the single mix, with its whispered and spoken voice recordings was not very radio friendly.
Another single from the album If I Was Your Lover was provided. The recorded with Jimmy Harry track was remixed for the album release, to publish it in the U.S.. Had he been successful, one extraction would also be done as a single in the UK. However, as Minogue's record deal in the U.S. burst, there was no publication more. The song Time Will Pass You By should be published in October 1995 as the fourth single, but was returned by the publication of Where the Wild Roses Grow, a duet with Nick Cave.
