The song has been heard using various styles in the past but this is by far the best. Apart from a few moments where the vocal structure has been altered, allowing the incarnation of the song to carry an improvised feel to it, the number remains mostly intact, instead surrendering the originals electro-pop instrumentation to its new life in orchestral bliss.īetter the Devil You Know on the other hand has been given an entire reworking with a piano guiding Minogue through the stars camp classic. The deep synths that drenched the original Aphrodite recording have been replaced with a swaying string arrangement and the singer enlists a brief vocal harmony within several moments dotted throughout the track. The magic touch is now given to the reworking of Kylie’s most symbolic hits here on The Abbey Road Sessions.Īll The Lovers begins the trip down memory lane. The famous London recording studios have played host to some of music’s most legendary acts including Cliff Richard, Pink Floyd, Duran Duran, U2 and most famously for housing the Beatles recording sessions throughout the foursomes career. The recording of the album at the Abbey Road Studios also gives the record a legendary feel to it. Yes, there are the same hits featured on this record as seen on the usual Kylie ‘best of’ releases but this record has a real twist not just in the instrumental reworking of the track listing but with Kylie’s imagination and creativity coursing through the hits as she performs each inclusion with a different approach than the original allowing us to absorb the songs in an entirely different way. This package however is something entirely different.
There have been various Kylie Minogue ‘best of’ packages before with the likes of Ultimate Kylie and The Best Of collection released earlier this year to coincide with the starlets 25 year anniversary as a recording artist satisfying the needs of fans.
