Album information

The album was produced by: Stock Aitken Waterman (tracks 1-5,7,9), Keith Cohen (track: 8), Stephen Bray & Keith Cohen (tracks 10,11), Michael Jay (track 6). It included for the first time, songs co-written by Minogue. The album was a departure from the bubblegum pop music of its predecessors, and attempted to present a more stylish and contemporary dance sound. Several of its tracks became popular hits in the clubs of the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. The album reached number nine on the UK album charts and was certified platinum (300,000). It sold 3 million copies worldwide and has been certified platinum in Australia and the United Kingdom. It has also been certified gold in Spain.

With the new musical direction Minogue now had the opportunity to break from the mold which her record company had created for her. Heavily influenced by her then boyfriend Michael Hutchence, lead singer of INXS, Minogue explored and presented herself in a more sexual and raunchier manner which the media dubbed as 'SexKylie' as fishnet tights and dark eye makeup quickly replaced the big hair and christmas ornament-like earrings.

The album was later re-released as a special "Gold Version" in May 1991 containing three bonus remixes and went on to be certified platinum in both the UK and Australia.
