Many will already know this album as it celebrates its 20th anniversary. It’s full on electro pop, done right. A number of physical editions have been released for this anniversary: CD single boxset, vinyl picture disc, cassette, deluxe cd/dvd and a standard cd (containing 4 new 2023 remixes). My favourite edition is the picture disc - it not only looks stunning but changing I begin to wonder and don’t wanna lose this feeling for their ‘bootleg’ mash-up remixes is a smart move, it gives the album a fresh feel and it’s something different for the fans of the album as they probably bought the 15th anniversary vinyl that contains the originals - so as well as Dannii, you get a taste of classic songs: Madonna (into the groove) and dead or alive (you spin me right round).

I don’t know about Kelly’s personal life etc but you can hear heartbreak, angst, joy and defiance throughout this album. It’s a great listen, from weepy power ballads, uptempo sing-along songs but above all this, is that voice! Power, depth, emotive and fully in control
