Kylie's Timebomb Ticks In a Familiar Vein

Kylie Minogue can lay claim to one of the most sweat-drenched dance confections of the newish millennium, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". Unfortunately she is swerving down an artificial sounding path with "Timebomb". I'm not arguing that this still insanely gorgeous woman won't have the peak intensity party crowds wrapped around her finger with this. I just think it dips a little too heavily from both Britney's and Madonna's playbooks. She's obviously been following the trends a shade too closely. There's a throbbing rhythm that's been part of the other two divas catalogs one more than one occasion. It's as if Kylie really took a shiny to the sexy ingenue sound she made a mark on in 2001 and decided she'd get uber contemporary with whatever hip shaking concoction she trotted out next. Here's hoping she proves me wrong in the not too distant future.
