 Chocolate October 6, 2004

This is a great single to buy. CHOCOLATE is one of my favorites from her vastly underrated BODY LANGUAGE album. The song oozes with sexuality, and it's easily the sexiest song she's ever sung. What a treat to have some mixes, including the Emo Mix and Tom Iddleton's Cosmos Mix. Great mixes! There is also a live version of "Love At First Sight" from her MONEY CANT BUY special that was used to promote the BODY LANGUAGE album. The unreleased track "City Games" was rumored to be the first single from that album, but it never made the album and was said to have never existed. It's a nice song. The video for CHOCOLATE is also on here, one of her best if you ask me. A wonderful single worth buying!

Kylie Minogue's third single from BODY LANGUAGE has perhaps the best packaging of them all. The track that had been rumored to lead off a new direction for Kylie, CITY GAMES, is included here, even after the record company's bald-faced claims that it did not exist. Great news, but unfortunately it isn't a new direction for anyone concerned. However the BODY LANGUAGE LIVE version of last year's sensation LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT shows Kylie at her most exuberant, it's apparently a song she loves to sing and she does so with enormous gusto and style. And the audience loves her back.
As for CHOCOLATE itself, I wasn't too keen on hearing it on the LP, but the new version is hugely catchy, and the video is strange and freakishly beautiful. Kylie's costumes are all in a very rich range of Renaissance (or really Pre-Raphaelite) colors, and extremely rich fabrics, damaska, silks, I suppose to give the corresponding visual equivalent to the sweetness and meltingness of chocolate. The choreography is jagged and awkward, very Martha Graham, and then in the middle section Kylie tries a pas de deux with a younger (male) dancer and brings it off surprisingly well. There are some endearing "experimental" moments as well, very Maya Deren (a group of dancers revolving on a spinning plate move back in the camera to reveal they are actually dancing on Kylie's hat!) and quite overwrought, like chocolate . . .
 Sumptuous.... June 28, 2004

As a Kylie fan for the last 17 years (ouch), I have been very disappointed with her output recently - 'Slow' was interesting and 'Red Blooded Woman' was ok. The Album 'Body Language' was hugely disappointing for me, by all means, try a new musical direction, but at least make it interesting.
'Chocolate', the 3rd single from the BL album and was always a standout track in my opinion. Sumptious, soft, sexy vocals, and a chilled, mid tempo beat, this is Kylies strongest single in some time.As for the cd itself... the newly re-recorded single version is gorgeous, the Middleton Cosmos mix is just rubbish (hardly any vocals, and nothing that sounds like the original), the EMO mix is excellent (a different, slightly edgier beat but retains the essence of the original), and a new song, 'City Games', which is probably better than most of the tracks off the album.
The live version of the ultra poppy and wondeful 'Love at first sight' proves she can hold a note well.
Also included is the very stylish and beautiful ballet(ish) themed video... This cd is a reminder of a Kylie passed - its still a different style to what we are used to from her, but it still contains that glorious Kylie element, something fans have been deprived of recently.
Kylie takes a bite at subtlety.... July 26, 2004

Kylie Minogue isn't a very subtle performer - she's famous for hi-NRG floorfillers, not purring ballads. A ballad in the hands of a pop singer can be a nightmare but with Kylie, it's a dream and CHOCOLATE is a perfect example of it. Sweet and slow, it flows like its namesake throughout, with a catchy chorus that will for sure melt her fans down. Remixed for release, this CD also includes the funky CITY GAMES, two remixes (the EMO mix is the better one) and a live track, taken from her BODY LANGUAGE LIVE DVD, which should receive a late 2004 release in the USA.

"Chocolate" is the 3rd Single from "Body Language", and can be named as a Classic !
This Song can be described as Sexy, Seductive, Delicious, Breath Taking at the same time, obviously another Amazing track performed by Kylie Minogue.
Kylie delivered to us an exquisite ballad with a fresh sound, necesary for the radio audience of Today. The Lyrics of the song are great too, here is a little fragment that describes the track better:
"If love were liquid it would drown me, In a placeless place would find me, In a heart shape come around me and then, Melt me slowly down"
The Single contains the Excellent song, 2 mixes (The Tom Middleton Mix & the EMO Mix), a Live version of the Smash Hit Single "Love At First Sight" (Recorded at the "Money Can Buy" show), a Previously Unreleased track called "City Games", plus the Spectacular & Classy Chocolate Video
Obviously, "Chocolate" is one of the best singles of 2004 and this package (the Australian Version) is one of those CD's that you have to Buy. You Won't regret It.
Thanks For Reading this Review =)
