Editorial Reviews

2007 two CD expanded editions of Dannii Minogue's third album, originally released in 1997. A stunning singer, model and actress, Dannii Minogue is a multitalented performer every bit as sensational as her diva sister Kylie Minogue. Continually voted one of the sexiest women in the world, Dannii is a dynamo of talent and beauty. Disc One contains the original album plus bonus tracks and radio edits. Disc Two features 10 superb dance remixes of cuts from the album. Girl spawned the hits 'All I Wanna Do', 'Everything I Wanted', and 'Disrememberance'. 26 tracks total.

5.0 out of 5 stars Xmas comes early for Minogue fans!!, October 27, 2007

CD1

'All I Wanna Do' - (UK #4 commercial, #1 dance) This is the high selling single that marked the transition from teeny bopper pop to adult dance for Dannii.

'Heaven Can Wait' - 70's style pop mixed with trance undertones, this track always puts a smile on my face!!

'So In Love With Yourself' - We go back to solid trance for this track. A quite bitter track which features Kylie Minogue on backing vocals.

'Am I Dreaming' - We stay with dancey pop for this, which is a beautiful song - one of my favourites on the album.

'Everybody Changes Underwater' - I don't know how to describe this unusual track, which has Dannii simply reciting the lyrics for most of it. I have never heard another song quite like this. You should hear this for yourself.

'Everything I Wanted' - (#15 c #1 d) This single was very different for Dannii, it's not dance, it's not very 'pop', but cit's an experiment that worked for Dannii. I love it.

'If It Moves - Dub It' - A dub of MOVIN' UP, this is the weakest track on the album, yet it is still listenable, despite the overly repeated lyrics. Another more experimental piece for Dannii.

'Disremembrance' - (#21 c #1 d) This is another standout track. The dance music coupled with the ballad lyrics is great, one of my favourite Dannii singles.

'It's Amazing' - More traditional balled melodies (almost orchestral) music is coupled with ballad vocals, which a trance undertone. Dannii's vocals are fantastic.

'Movin' Up' - More of a clubbing track, this is `heavier' then her usual work. A great bridge between albums GIRL and NEON NIGHTS. This is the extended mix, different to the original GIRL album.

`Keep Up With The Good Times' - This track has never been released, so I can't wait to hear it!!!

Someone New (Radio Edit) - The original Japanese GIRL album had a mix of this track on, but this unheard edit apparently is like a completely different song.

'Coconut' - At first listen this may seem cheesy - but be warned - this will become hopelessly stuck in your head.

`All I Wanna Do' (Trouser Enthusiasts Radio Edit) - This mix has never been commercially released before.

`Everything I Wanted' (Xenomania Radio Edit) - I think this mix is better then the album mix.

`Disremembrance' (Trouser Enthusiasts Radio Edit) - This mix has never been released onto CD before.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Girl" is an amazing album, April 1, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Girl (+ Bonus Tracks) (Audio CD)

I had been looking for the album "Girl" for quite some time. I thought atleast one of the record shops would've still had it. So I phoned every record shop in my local shopping centre/town and none of them had it. I then phoned all the record shops in The Metro Centre and Newcastle - none of them had it either and I really wanted it. So, I was in this shop in Amsterdam and sold possibly the most fascinating records ever!... ones off years ago. And I thought to myself: "That Dannii album "Girl"!" So I went to the Dannii section and they had this Japanese version of the album. The only problem was it was far too expensive... (nearly 40 euros). After a bit of persuading I got it so I was "happier than high"! Some of my favourite tracks are "All I Wanna Do," "Everything I Wanted," "So In Love With Yourself," "Everything Changes Under Water" and "Disremembrance." I love the techno sounding on "If It Moves Dub It". I also love the hidden and bonus tracks "Coconut" (Harry Nillson cover version) and "Someone New," which lasts for 9 and a half minutes, nearly!

Well, I bought it.

I liked it.

And I reccommend it totally!

Simple as that!

Also pick up The Singles, The Remixes (only if you like Techno and extended 12" mixes) and Neon Nights. Dannii's new album is due for release in Spring 2005!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rare Treat, July 11, 2003

This review is from: Girl (+ Bonus Tracks) (Audio CD)

'Girl' is the third album from Dannii Minogue, and is her first adult album. All the tracks are influenced by trance, which was cutting edge at the time, and is still modern sounding today. Dannii's voice is at its strongest here.
The Japenese release contains a rare unheard bonus track.

'All I Wanna Do' - A top 10 hit for Dannii, a dance number thats similar to Britney Spears singing that she's not that innocent. 10/10

'Heaven Can Wait' - 70's style pop mixed with trance undertones, all combined to make a track perfect for summer evenings. 9/10

'So In Love With Yourself' - We go back to solid trance for this track. A quite bitter track which features Kylie Minogue on backing vocals. 10/10

'Am I Dreaming' - We stay with trance for this, which is a beautiful song, about falling in love. 10/10

'Everybody Changes Underwater' - I don't know how to describe this unusual track, which has Dannii talking for most of it. I have never heard another song quite like this. You should hear this for yourself. 8/10

'Everthing I Wanted' - This tracks plays with vocal effects, with great results. Another trance number. 9/10

'If It Moves - Dub It' - This is the weakest track on the album, yet it is still listenable, despite the overly repeated lyrics. 7/10

'Disremembrance' - This is a standout track along with 'Am I Dreaming?'. The trance music coupled with the ballad lyrics is great, a welcome change from todays weepy numbers. 10/10

'It's Amazing' - Like 'Disremembrance' and 'Am I Dreaming', trance music is coupled with ballad vocals. 10/10

'Movin' Up' - More of a clubbing track, you will be 'Movin' Up' to the dancefloor. A great bridge between albums 'Girl' and 'Neon Nights'. 8/10

'Someone New' - A rare, unheard dance track. I don't know why this was left out of the general release of 'Girl' as SN has hit stamped all over it. Easy to sing along to, SN is a single girl's anthem. 10/10

'Coconut' - (Hidden track) Dannii's cover of 'Lime In Da Coconut' hidden on them. At first this may seem cheesy, but it will grow on you. 9/10
