Co-written by Dev Hynes, the song itself is all Abba-esque charm. Crystallize (2014)Ĭrystallize was left off 2014’s Kiss Me Once, later turning up as a standalone single that did not attract much attention: perhaps its radio play was hampered by the fact that she somehow manages to pronounce the word “suddenly” in a way that sounds like she is singing “sodomy”. Co-produced by Stuart Price, its intro seemingly influenced by MGMT’s Time to Pretend and its vocal melody naggingly familiar, it is certainly a better single than its relatively lowly chart placing suggests. Minogue said she felt “let down” by the fairly frosty reception accorded Better Than Today, blaming her soon-to-be former record label. There’s not a great deal to it – the title repeated three times, the singer’s voice doused in electronic effects – but it lodges instantly in your head: not one of Kylie’s better-remembered singles, it lives on today as a Radio 2 jingle. Wow (2007)Įxuberant filtered disco-house, Wow’s big selling point is its hook. Still, it has its moments, as evidenced by the shimmering synths and Balearic beat of Breathe, co-produced by Soft Cell’s Dave Ball. Impossible Princess in 1997 doubled down on its predecessor’s fruitless quest for alternative cred, but people did not want Kylie singing Manic Street Preachers songs and quoting Billy Childish poems. Clearly the result of a concerted effort to conjure up the campest song imaginable, it involves Village People backing vocals, an Abba-esque chorus and I Will Survive strings.

The 20 Best Daft Punk Songs By Scott Russell Febru| 9:04am. You can hear all the distinct strands of Daft Punk’s DNA across this song, from its economic drum machine loop to the dynamic, unerringly melodic way they deploy the rest of its instrumentation. This Homework standout presaged Discovery’s sample-heavy love letter to the late ‘70s, extrapolating pieces of Billy Joel’s The Stranger single “ Just the Way You Are” into a propulsive, euphoric house track. In honor of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter’s singular output, we’ve taken the liberty of ranking its 20 best entries, a selection of blissful, meticulously crafted electronic tracks that will always have a place on dance floors worldwide. It’s an odd time for the Parisian robots to walk away, given that no one had necessarily been holding their breath for new music from them any time soon, but they leave behind an absolutely stellar body of work, from their 1997 debut Homework to 2013’s Grammy-vacuuming comeback Random Access Memories. After reigning as of one dance music’s most enduring and important acts for nearly three decades, Daft Punk called it quits on Monday, announcing their shutdown eight years after the release of their last-and now final-album.
