Kylie Minogue f. Aleks Syntek - "In my arms"

[kinglouiexviii]

I like Kylie. I like Aleks Syntek. But...

Kylie + Syntek = zzzzzzzzzzz

The song is very uninspired, and sounds like Kylie's mid-90's leftovers. I don't know why but AS continues to dissappoint me lately. A few years ago, right around when DE NOCHE EN LA CIUDAD came out, he could do no wrong in my book.

What's happening to him?

Very interesting. I didn't know about it. Is it KM feat. AS or AS feat. KM?? In what album does it come? What type of project is this? A soundtrack? A single? Somebody's album?

I'm sorry. I forgot to write the name of the song in the thread title. Also, because I was using a friend's computer I could not insert the link to the song, but I have fixed all of that now.

To answer some of your questions, this song will be included as a bonus track on Kylie's new album. I don't think there are plans to release it as a single, but the label would be stupid not to release it at least in Mexico and Latin America.

Aleks produced it and his vocals were recorded in Mexico. He stated everything was pretty much done long distanced and through email. He said he only talked to Kylie once, over the phone.

I prefer the original which I already liked. I like Kylie. I like some Alek songs, but I'm not a fan. I think I heard late last year a couple of songs with a style different to what he usually does, right? I thought they were nice, but I think I heard them 4 times or so on the radio and that's it.

So Bismal with Rihanna, now Alek with Kylie.... who's next?

Oh wow, thats like not even what collaborating is about. Lame.

Kylie probably forgot who he is already.

Yeah, that's sort of what I thought when I saw the interview.

I heard on the radio that this song will be included on Aleks's upcoming greatest hits album which he will promote by doing a short tour across the states. He will be in Dallas at the end of July, and I will most likely go. Though I haven't loved his new stuff, I'm still a huge fan of his early stuff. Also, he has always been great in concert!

This is a big NO!!
This is one of my favorite tracks from X, but this cannot sound more forced!
There is no flow on the duet, Aleks seems like pushing his voice over the track.
This is not the way to do these covers at all.
And I agree with the person quoting the case of Hate that I Love You. David Bisbal was a weird addition to the track and made it sound forced, too.

Well, upon review of this song, I would like to drudge up the case of the episode of Kids Next Door when Numba 5 discovers the mysterious fourth flavor of ice cream (in addition to vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry), she however is beaten to the supply of it, by those creepy kids who speak in unison, who sample the fourth flavor and put sprinkles on it, which displeases the ice cream god, and the fourth flavor melts into oblivion.

His addition to this song is like soaking a filet mignon in A1, "New" Coke, the list goes on and on.

In My Arms is one of the crowning moments of X, and the spanglish hot mess that this is ruins it.
