Kylie's back under the discoball.

In 1998, Kylie was dropped by indie-dance label DeConstruction after four years like a hot potato because some thought she had committed career suicide and this had been reflected in languid sales of the two albums and their singles she had issued on DeConstruction.
Obviously the [undeserved] backlash towards Kylie's "indie" persona taught her a valuable lesson. When lost, head back to familiar territory. This is just what she did with this, [and subsequent] albums. Symbolically dropping her last name, she re-enters the genre that made her great, and gave herself a sexy much talked about image to boot. Granted, the teen pop movement was [and still is]at its strongest in the new millennium, one could say she just had good timing, but this work is leaps and bounds better than her previous offerings to the dance music market.
Light Years is not just another dance-pop record from Kylie, it's a great collection of disco stylings and Europop kitsch. "Spinning Around" is a fun and string-laden declaration that she may have made a mistake but she's more determine than ever, and the Robbie Williams/Guy Chambers-penned "Your Disco Needs You" is probably one of the best dance songs of the last ten years. Arguably one of the best disco records since the '70s, this album is Kylie comfortable with who she is and what she's good at.
