Kylie Minogue is the fifth studio album by Australian pop singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue, which was first released on September 19, 1994. The album was first released by Deconstruction Records/BMG throughout much of the world and by Imago Records in the US while in Australia and New Zealand the album was released by Mushroom.
Kylie Minogue was Minogue's first release outside of the production team of Stock Aitken Waterman. In an attempt to broaden her fan base and extend herself as an artist, she took an active role in planning the album and sought out a diverse group of artists to collaborate with. The first recording sessions took place in 1993 and resulted in two songs recorded with Saint Etienne and eight by Minogue co-written songs with the The Rapino Brothers.
But Deconstruction's A&R office decided they were heading into the wrong direction, so 16 new songs were recorded - six with Brothers In Rhythm, four with Jimmy Harry, three with singer songwriter Gerry DeVeaux, two with Pete Heller and Terry Farley and one with M People - and two songs from the previous Rapino Brothers sessions were re-recorded with Brothers In Rhythm. Music critics generally praised Minogue for her objective, however most reviews described the end result as disjointed and disappointing.
On the album cover, Minogue attempted to present herself as a serious artist, rather than the vampish sex kitten she had begun to personify. While the accompanying videos were among her sexiest and most overt, the album cover featured black and white photography of Minogue wearing horn rimmed glasses and a conservative trouser and jacket suit. Such a combination from someone who had so strenuously promoted herself as a fashion icon was seen by many critics to be an odd choice.
According to one of the album's songwriters and producers, Steve Anderson, the album has sold 2 million copies worldwide while Minogue's official website and an unauthorized biogaphy of her says the album sold 500,000 worldwide.
In May, 2003 the album was remastered, complete with a bonus disc filled mostly with remixes.
