About
The album Body Language was released on November 17, 2003 under Mushroom Records. It entered no.6 at the U.K. chart in November 6 2003. It achieved platinum status. Body Language can best be described as Kylie Minogue "big step forward." It's still simple dance pop, but this time she has put together an album that works as a piece. It's stylish without being smarmy, retro without being ironic, and its energy never gets annoying. In other words: a near perfect pop record. It was proceeded by a spectacular one off album launch show entitled "Money Can't Buy" at the London Apollo Theatre. "Body Language" spawned a further two hit singles "Red Blooded Woman" and "Chocolate" raising Kylie Minogue tally of UK Top 10 hits to 27.
