Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue's third studio outing didn't reach American audiences, but it maintains her remarkable streak of international hits. Personnel: Kylie Minogue (vocals, background vocals); Matt Aitken (guitar, keyboards); John DeFaria (guitar); Jim Oppenheim (saxophone); Claude Gaudette, Mike Stock , Stephen Bray (keyboards); Mark Leggett, Michael Jay (drum programming); Alice Echols, Joey Diggs, Linda Taylor, Mae McKenna, Maxi Anderson, Miriam Stockley, Peggi Blu (background vocals). Audio Mixer: Keith "KC" Cohen. Recording information: Groudn Control, L.A., CA; PWL Studios, London, England; Saturn Sound; Studio Ultimo, L.A., CA; Trax Recording, L.A., CA. Arrangers: Claude Gaudette; Matt Aitken; Michael Jay; Mike Stock ; Pete Waterman. Yes, it's still simple Stock-Aitken-Waterman dance-pop, but Rhythm of Love is leaps and bounds more mature than Kylie's first two releases. The songwriting is stronger, the production dynamic, and Kylie seems more confident vocally. And while Kylie and Enjoy Yourself were collections of songs to back up singles, this is a more complete album, with many of the tracks -- "Things Can Only Get Better" a prime example -- single worthy. Definitely her best work from the Stock-Aitken-Waterman era. ~ Chris True
