Kylie

Kylie is the debut studio album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, released on 4 July 1988 by Mushroom Records. Minogue had established herself as a child actress before signing to the record label in early 1987. The success of her debut single, "Locomotion", resulted in her working with Stock Aitken Waterman, who produced the album and wrote nine of its ten tracks. Their recording sessions, commencing in October 1987 in London and Melbourne, coincided with Minogue's filming schedule for the soap opera Neighbours. Musically, Kylie is a bubblegum pop and dance-pop album. It received mixed reviews from music critics who praised individual tracks but criticised Minogue's vocals and the album's formulaic production. The album has been received more positively in retrospect, with praise being towards Minogue's charm and the album's nostalgic sentimentality. It was a commercial success, peaking at number one in the United Kingdom for six weeks and becoming the fifth highest-selling album of the decade. It peaked at number two in her native Australia, while reaching the top ten in Germany, Norway, and Switzerland.
