Kylie’s new album X is a schizophrenic mess of a collection that can’t really decide what it’s trying to be. There’s masterfully done 90s throwback R&B (“All I See”), supreme electro-pop (“In My Arms” and “Speakerphone”), cabaret funk (“2 Hearts”), and “Nu-Di-Ty,” a monster of a track: Gwen-like chanting and bendy tuned vocals over a hip hop beat reminiscent at times of her 1998 collaboration with Towa Tei, “German Bold Italic.” Most of the album is great pop music, exciting and experimental, but it’s very disjointed from track to track and the play order is off. Why is this track twelve? Why was “Rippin’ Up the Disco” ultimately left off the album but boring “Sensitized” included? While X isn’t quite unified, it’s a great sampler and “Nu-Di-Ty” is one of the standouts. -Brad
