'New' Kylie Minogue tracks of the 7/10 and 8/10 variety

EDIT: Some people are saying these are NOT from the new album recordings and are from the 'X' album sessions. All we know is that A. Kylie Minogue is finishing off her new album and B. Some new songs have appeared online. We cannot give a more specific chronology of recording timeline regarding the following tracks - IS THAT OKAY WITH EVERYONE? Thanksandbye.

With a new Kylie Minogue album just around the corner ('TBC 2010', so it could be a mighty big corner this one) the internet is set to be flooded with the cast-off MP3s and other bits and pieces that have 'leaked' from the recording process. A couple have hit the web already, and while pretty decent does anyone really believe that such a high profile album will be allowed to dribble out onto the internet bit by bit? (Answer: probably not).

First up, there's 'Come Down'. Her little Bollywood stint has clearly rubbed off on Ms Minogue, and the sounds of 'Chiggy Wiggy' are very much present, if refined and a lot less nonsensical on this one. It's not a favourite genre of ours and it's one that we feel has kinda been done to death, but 'Come Down' has the sort of quality you expect from a Minogue of the K variety and is a thoroughly decent 7/10 sort of track.

Extraordinary day on the other hand is a far more 8/10-ish, and harks back to her Deconstruction days with an ethereal electronica sound, with spooky, ambient pop production that suits her voice perfectly. It's rather wonderful.

And speaking of her voice, it's certainly one of the most distinctive on the 'Everybody Hurts' Haiti single, and it's brilliant to have it, and Kylie herself, back on the scene. Let's just hope all the singles from the new album aren't screwed up like they were on the 'X' album. The 'The One' debacle springs to mind...
