(Correct tracklist. Four songs have been removed from this release as they weren't mastered in time. The album producers & Warner didn't want to delay the release, leaving fans hanging. The track 'Undeniable' has been added to make up for this)




If you're new to Dannii's music this is a good place to start, you'll still recognize six of the single names to help familiarize you to Danni's dance/pop hybrid. And if you've got Dannii's `Girl', `Neon Nights' or `Hits & Beyond', there's no need to fret. The mixes of the singles here haven't appeared on any of Dannii's previous albums!

If you're familiar with the fabulous `Neon Nights' album you'll also recognize 3 of the other tracks; `Hide And Seek', `Come And Get It' and `It Won't Work Out'. Again, the mixes of these tracks have never been released before.

Then to really excite us, there's an unbelievable 9 unheard`new' tracks!!! The vast majority of these tracks were recorded around the `Neon Nights' era, and for an unfinished London Records album. Combined with this period in Dannii's career, you'll know that you're getting something really special.





* This release will be replacing `The Platinum Collection'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Xmas comes early for Minogue fans!!, December 10, 2007

By

This review is from: Unleashed (Audio CD)

01 All I Wanna Do (Innocent Girl Mix) - UNRELEASED
With no guitar synchs, it's a very different mix to the ones we've heard before. Different, but great.

02 Blame It On The Music - UNRELEASED
Simple, catchy dance/pop. Quite dark.Rogar Sanchez co-writes and produces.

03 Spend Your Love On Me - UNRELEASED
When I saw the title, I expected a cheesy, sugary pop number, but never fear, it's more dance then pop. Dannii is THE Minogue when it comes to successfully marrying strong dance beats with different lyric genres.

04 Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling (Jewels & Stone Radio Edit) - UNRELEASED
A new version of a NEON NIGHTS single, complete with added vocals. Possibly the best mix of this I've heard.

05 Going Going Gone - UNRELEASED
Again, quite `dark'. The lyrics are simple, so the song's very catchy.

06 Everything I Wanted (Metro 7-Inch) - PROMO ONLY
Like DWLTF, this is the best mix of D's GIRL single I've heard, quite surprising, since the mix isn't wildly different. The album version just lacks the `something' this mix has.

07 Undeniable - UNRELEASED
Dannii rarely (sadly) releases slow, more ballad type songs. So grasp a copy of this album & enjoy. Hints of R&B thrown in.

08 No Romeo - UNRELEASED
Dance/R&B. Early Janet Jackson in style. A stand out track. Shame this didn't make it to a studio album.

09 Hide And Seek (Original Thriller Jill Version) - UNRELEASED
A different mix of this track was a b-side on I BEGIN TO WONDER. I prefer this dancier mix. Dannii's vocals are much clearer here.

10 Hurt In Love - UNRELEASED
Another standout track. I just love the song's intro - it hooks you straight in. The music speeds up, slows down, and then picks up the pace again. I love it when Dannii tries something different.

11 Who Do You Love Now? (Riva's Bora Bora Edit) - RELEASED ON MC ONLY
Another favourite single mix of Dannii's, released on CD for the first time.

12 Put The Needle On It (Cicada Vocal Edit)
The extremely popular Cicada mix was included on the single release, but was so good it's been included here.

13 Come And Get It (Alternative Radio Cut) - UNRELEASED
A remix of this track is hidden at the end of the NEON NIGHTS album.
Co-wrote, mixed & produced by JCA (Behind the mega hit I BEGIN TO WONDER), this screamed single & indeed was going to be released in Germany.

14 Begin To Spin Me Round (Radio Edit)
There's no need to say anything about this mash up with Dead Or Alive's classic dance track.

15 Love Me Like This - UNRELEASED
Dance/R&B/pop. Again Dannii experiments with combining different genres. Again it works beautifully.

16 Bad Weather - UNRELEASED
Lighter pop/R&B track. Again, the words hook you in & become lodged in your brain.

17 Invitation - UNRELEASED
My personal favourite. Slower then the rest of the album (except Undeniable) & a stronger marriage of light pop & R&B. Dannii is asking an old love to come back to her. Love the strings in the intro.

18 It Won't Work Out (Ross Callum Single Mix) - UNRELEASED
OMG!! This mix is simply stunning; Dannii recorded the vocals for a possible single release. The single didn't happen, which is a shame. D's vocals are amazing.



(Correct tracklist. Four songs have been removed from this release as they weren't mastered in time. The album producers & Warner didn't want to delay the release, leaving fans hanging. The track 'Undeniable' has been added to make up for this)

The unreleased tracks sound like early Janet Jackson - pop & dance combined with urban, R&B undertones.
These tracks are the best of the best, in fact Dannii's GET INTO YOU, GIRL, NEON NIGHTS, CLUB DISCO & UNLEASHED are the only albums I own that I don't skip over any tracks. D's not just a `pop' singer, she experiments with mixing genre styles & is growing as a songwriter too.

UNLEASHED comes with a stunning 24 page booklet, with loads of photos & all of the song lyrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT!!, November 20, 2007

By 

Muddwacker "I'm just here for the music." (Hazelton, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unleashed: Hits & Rarities (Audio CD)

This is the perfect compliment to the Neon Nights, Girl albums. It has a ton of great unreleased tracks, plus some really hard to find mixes. (The only thing better would have been to have included the remix of "Creep" that's on the Neon Nights re-issue.) I don't understand why the label just didn't promote this as a new release using one of the new songs as the lead single.
