About Rhythm of Love

Rhythm of Love is the third studio album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, released on 12 November 1990 by Pete Waterman Entertainment (PWE) in the UK, and on 3 December 1990 by Mushroom Records in Australia. In contrast to her previous studio albums, Stock Aitken Waterman were the primary producers of the album, along with new producers and collaborations including Keith Cohen, Stephen Bray and Michael Jay. At the age of 22 at the time, Minogue started to become independently more involved in the process of creating and arranging the project compared to her two previous efforts, resulting in the album directing her to a new path in her career, with a more sexual image and a more dance-influenced sound. Rhythm of Love deals with many subjects including her real-time adulthood, cheating, having fun, bad boys, crushes and relationships. Upon its release, Rhythm of Love received generally positive reviews from music critics. Many complimented it as her best work with Stock Aitken Waterman, along with critics praising Minogue herself for stepping out of her comfort zone. The album spawned four singles, sometimes referred to as "The Golden Quartet". "Better the Devil You Know", the lead single, became one of Minogue's biggest successes, charting inside the top 20 in Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Israel, Sweden and France. Minogue promoted the album with her Rhythm of Love Tour in Australia and Asia. "Rhythm of Love" is considered by many to be a definitive turning point in Minogue's career, noted for successfully beginning a departure from the bubblegum pop sound of her first two albums and showing her as a more mature, credible musical adult artist more »
