Kylie goes electro! Following the success of the Fischerspooner remix of "Come Into My World," off 2002's Fever, that's no surprise. As such, "Red Blooded Woman" references Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" over faux 50 Cent funk, the Lisa Lisa--quoting "Secret (Take You Home)" is a sublime Latin-freestyle pastiche, and "Sweet Music" is reminiscent of classic Madonna. Indeed, throughout, Minogue suggests a more approachable Material Girl--both justify their love with gusto, but Kylie's breathy pillow-talk erotica remains less performance art, and more Victoria's Secret.
