When Slow premiered on radio all over the qworld a month back, it brought mixed reviews. Hradcore fans cried at how dismal the song is compared to the highly charged debut singles Spinning Around and Can't Get You Out Of My Head from Light Years and Fever.

However, those with a discerning ear would have realized that this is the best Kylie masterpiece yet. While her previous two debut singles were written for her, Slow is penned by Kylie herself with Emilia Torrini and Mr Dan. Slow, itself, is detached from anything that was on Fever. Here, Kylie breathes sex and sensuality into every note she hits along a seductive and alluring sub-bass beat akin to Madonna's superior Justify My Love and Erotica (though some may beg to differ) as well as her own Confide In Me and Put yourself In My Place. Even Janet Jackson's sexiest and dirtiest moments pale beside Slow. Along with an orgasm inducing soft-porn video of an orgy of heavenly near-naked bodies around her while she sings the tune, Slow is hard to beat.

While Kylie revels in the sexy beat, she scored herself a 7th UK #1, sharing the honors with Michael Jackson and George Michael. On this CD single, you will find the Medicine 8 Remix, a non-LP bonus track and the oh-so-sexy video. Definitely worth your penny! And if this is anything to come by, Body Language will be a great addition to Kylie's recently consistently ace album catalog.

"Skip a beat and move with your body." With these simple words Kylie Minogue took an artistic step forward that alienated a huge body of fans, while pleasing a relative handful with her bravery and innovation. SLOW separated the men from the boys in more ways than one when it first appeared last winter. its minimal instrumentation portending the even more radical moves Bjork makes on her new instument-less CD MEDULLA.

But that's what Bjork is supposed to be--challenging, while Kylie has had a lesser mandate, she's just supposed to be kittenish and entertaining. When we heard the simple countermeasures of the electronic keyboards, and the rushed lyrics that she singspiels her way through to a dramatic "Slow down," we Kylie fans didn't know what we were hearing, many of us complained, there's no chorus and so forth. It just took awhile for the track to sink it, and once it does, it's there in your cortex forever.

I'm not a Kylie fan really but I just can't help but love this song as much as I hate admitting it ( but I'm doing so now ). I always say the best way to make yourself as an artist is by making records that are not instantly recognizable as your own. And this song proves it - I didn't know it was Kylie until the last 30 seconds of it on the radio. I was impressed. The gurgling synths do sound a bit like your old Atari console but I think it makes it seem all the more nifty. For some reason I see shades of Kraftwerk and Cabaret Voltaire in it.

Never has a single by an artist that I don't particularly like ( music wise ( I mean everyone would watch her videos not matter how bad the song was )) has made me think on buying the album that's coming out.

Well alright I've had a soft spot for Kylie and I guess she's the one pop star I wouldn't turn the radio off for

this is an excellent track from an overlooked album, wich only has sold 2 million copies around the world not bad, but when fever sold 7 million thats something.... well this cd single includes album track Sweet Music wich is great 10/10
and the 8 Medicine remix should be called The Body Language Remix, just that line is repited all over the mix
the video i think could've been much better but you know, what's done it's done

Although not a natural choice for a first single, "Slow" is nevertheless a great song. Funky, synth-laden, and unabashedly sexual, it does seem to deviate from other chirpy/frothy dance songs by entering into darker, more mature territory. Kylie sounds like she's undergone her own personal sexual revolution and the results are a smashing success. "Sweet Music" is a great track as well, lifting the mood a little bit and injecting some disco-style funkadelic beats. The "Medicine 8 Remix" might be nice if you were on ecstasy at a rave, but otherwise it just suffers from repetitive blandness. Finally, the video is a nice piece of visual work. Kylie performs the entire song lying down on a beach blanket. The gorgeous, oiled-up bodies cavorting around her are just a welcome bonus. Go ahead and buy it!

Wow.

To the reviewers who've said this was slow paced - you're kidding right?? While it isn't as high energy as fever, it's still an upbeat, delicious club groove. It kind of sounds like a "summer" song though. I say Kylie rocks, and this single does too !

I gave her 3 stars becasue she is Kylie and I love her. i really was looking forward to a new US release but I hope it is not this song. I feel it will go nowhere here with the US being very tough critics especially with dance music as you can tell from our charts. This song is slow just like the title and I really did not like it or the next song. The remix is sort of repetitive and not done very well, but the video is great casue she always looks great. She even looks great on the cover although it does not look like her much. If you are expecting a reoccurance of her last album with this single do not buy it becasue you will be disappointed. If you just wanna hear and see new kylie music then get it.

This album is not one of Kylie's best albums she's every done.

If maybe she would had taken some more time on this in stead of in a hurry to get another album out. Then maybe it would sound better.

The best songs on there are:

Loving Days
Sweet Music
I Feel For You
Chocolate

Those are the best songs on there.

This song 'SLOW' is not that good. It is not artistic, it's very boring and Kylie sounds like she's talking through it. And for a 35 year old her voice sounds like a child.
