KYLIE - ‘BODY LANGUAGE’ : YOUR FIRST TASTE OF WHAT TO EXPECT!

Human League was said to be one musical reference Kylie Minogue wanted for her new album, ‘Body Language’. Certainly, the League's "Travelogue" (1980) sound is evident, but "Body Language" is excitingly trans-Atlantic, awash with Heaven 17, Scritti Politti and Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam influences.

Her production and songwriting collaborators are newblood (Baby Ash, Sunnyroads, Johnny Douglas) and old skool (Curtis Mantronik). They deliver now-beats and experimental scapes for the most revealing lyrics of Minogue's career.

To that end, ‘Body Language’ is achingly hip, thoroughly modern and blazingly neo-retro. It boldly redefines the parameters of electronica pop.

Kylie's love notes

The track, called Loving Days, tells how she has fallen head over heels for the handsome Hollywood actor.

The Aussie singer’s lyrics also reveal she treasures time they spend together — often cut short by their hectic work schedules.

It is clear Kylie’s new album — Body Language — is a very personal affair. She uses another track called Someday to blast her love rat ex-boyfriend JAMES GOODING.

The lyrics tell how she was “used and abused” by him when he cheated on her and then told all about their relationship.

But it is the fact that she has opened her heart about Olivier that will surprise fans.

The opening line in Loving Days says: “I have fallen all the way/ Happily there’s no escape/ Surrender to your heart.”

The chorus gets across her deep feelings for Olivier — and how she wishes they could spend more time together.

She sings: “Precious time with you doesn’t end the blues/ We are running all the way/ These are loving days, loving days, with you.” Kylie and Olivier, who is dubbed the French BRAD PITT, have been dating since March after meeting in LA.

At first they appeared inseparable during a string of romantic holidays. But they have been forced to spend a lot of time apart because of their heavy workloads.

But being with Olivier has clearly had an effect on the singer who has chosen not to talk about him publicly.

She learnt the hard way about the benefits of privacy after James spilled the beans on their two-and-a-half-year affair.

And she lets him know exactly what she thinks of him in Someday.

She sings: “Life goes on. You have abused and used me, now I’m going home.

“I want my records back/ To get my heart on track/ You think I can’t be alone/ Well, this woman is here to show you all.”

James showed his true colours when he admitted he had slept with MARTINE McCUTCHEON and SOPHIE DAHL while he was still dating Kylie.

Kylie, whose album is out on November 17, certainly seems to know how to get her own back.

Her single, Slow, is out next Monday

THE WORLD'S most famous posterior is to go into hiding

THE WORLD'S most famous posterior is to go into hiding courtesy of French couture.

Kylie Minogue, Britains adopted national treasure, who relaunched her career thanks to a pair of skimpy gold hotpants covering the pertest bottom in pop, has decided that the time has come to opt for a more sophisticated look.

The news will leave male fans worldwide devastated - and have their girlfriends breathing a sigh of relief. Since her Spinning Around single in 2000, the Aussie pop princess has wowed fans with an array of revealing outfits from designers Mrs Jones to Dolce & Gabbana.

Even at this year's Brit Awards her rear was the main attraction, overshadowing the show's winners.

It made headlines after becoming an object of interest for US singer Justin Timberlake as he gave it a quick squeeze as the pair performed a cover version of Blondie's Rapture.

But now it seems that her love of France, where she has been spending most of her spare time with new boyfriend Olivier Martinez, has led her stylist Will Baker to begin commissioning outfits in a more muted and elegant Parisian style. Much to the disappointment of fans,

Baker believes it's time to get away from "the sex symbol thing".

Though the 35-year-old singer is unlikely to look like a nun after her transformation, her decision to show less flesh was already obvious last week at Sir Elton John's glamorous White Tie and Tiara ball.

Kylie arrived wearing a demure Chanel. frock nipped in at the waist and with a long netting skirt.

She is currently taking time out from the limelight after a whirlwind two years during which she reclaimed her title of Britains top pop act thanks to such hits as Can' t Get You Out of My Head and Love At First Sight from her album Fever

She even began to make waves in America, a notoriously difficult market for foreigners to crack.

She has recently started work on her new album with record label EMI, from which the first single should be ready next year.

Fans can only cross their fingers that she will ditch French elegance for British sex symbol style and give her best-known asset special dispensation to come out of hiding when the time for making the promotional video comes.

Hair Today!

Kylie has spent seven hours at the hairdressers updating her image. she spent the time having 7.5cm hair extensions. It doesn't seem much, less than 3 inches, but the reasons are interesting. As we all know she is recording an album and wants a new style for its launch. So she hired Brazilian hairdresser Gille Gonsalves, who arrived at her West London home at 12.30pm on Saturday, and stayed for seven hours.

A neighbour said Kylie popped out soon after the appointment ended. "She seemed pleased with her new look. You could see that her hair was a bit longer, but it was hardly a Posh Spice-style transformation from short to long."

A source close to the star said: "It is not a massive image change, but it is the longest Kylie has had her hair for some years. It is also quite a few weeks until she will actually do her photo shoots, by which time her hair will be even longer."

Extensions are made either from hair or fibre and are woven into the hair roots and heat-sealed in place. They last up to three months. So why the photo shoot so soon if the album is not to be launched until next year?

The documentary, which has been in production for months, is finally 'in the can' and will be broadcast on Channel 4 at 10.15pm on December 7th. The programme promises (or threatens) to 'expose' Kylie's 'secret' life, as reported in today's Daily Star - one filled with sex, drugs and, err, rock n roll!? - like no other documentary or book ever has before. As Channel 4 increasingly seem to be swapping places with Channel 5 in the quality stakes, it will interesting to see what they come up with. A few of the nuggets we've been privvy to include information about Kylie's relationship with French 'madman' Stephane Sednaoui, and how her relationship with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence almost claimed her life. Pinch of salt time guys - it'll be interesting to hear how Kylie words her public condemnation of the documentary, although the inclusion of interviews with Will Baker and Pete Waterman have us a little confused. The 'explosive' nature of 'Kylie Entirely' could prove to be little more than much-needed hype as the Fever-machine winds down.

A quick report from SayHey's Henderson: "I saw Kylie in "The Play What I Wrote" last night, and in every way she was amazing. Newsflash: she might actually be quite a good actress, which was a shock to me as I don't think much of her acting performances. Anyway, on stage she was mesmerising. She sent herself up beautifully, she did 'bad acting' with all the skill of someone who knows how to act in the first place, she had genuine chemistry with the Right Size, her comic timing was impeccable, and she played the audience like a fiddle. It helped that she looked a squillion dollars. As a bonus, when she did the Morcambe and Wise exit dance, she flashed a fair old bit of her garter belt. This isn't really a report, it's a love-letter, but f**k it, the girl done good!"
