Dannii Minogue has had a long career in music, tv and film and is well known in her native Australia and adopted home of England. Her music careeer has been patchy with some astoundingly awful directions (her cover of "This Is It" or "Coconut" spring to mind), however, when she works with creative types the results are nothing short of magnificent (her 1997 album "Girl" is a perfect illustration of what she is capable of with its dark, brooding disco sound).

"I Begin To Wonder" is a stomping return to form (complementing her previous chart hit "Put The Needle On It"). In some ways it's not really much of a song, with a verse and chorus sung over and over, and a refrain for variety at about 3 quarters through - but having said that, it's really a phenomenal deep disco pumper that will be hard for many to resist.

Dannii's elder sister is the amazingly successful Kylie Minogue, whose musical output has always been more successful and prolific, yet Dannii to my mind, when she makes the right choices, has always had more soul to her work.

This single, released in March 2003, contains the Radio Edit of "I Begin To Wonder," the Krystal K Remix of the same track, and a B-side "Hide and Seek."

Overall, I give this 4 stars because although all the tracks are great, it seems like the remix of "I Begin To Wonder" drags a little much. "Hide and Seek" is an AMAZING track from Dannii, and it's a disappointment it did not make the cut for the Neon Nights album. But the track sounds so fresh that it almost sounds reminiscent of "Love Fight" from The Hits And Beyond.

The song is great.

The remix is not very good.

Hide And Seek is excellent.

The video is great.

Simple as that.

Dannii does an ok job of this song, but it's nothing like the JCA version. Still, the song does merit 3 stars.
