Kylie Minogue
Enjoy Yourself
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1990 Original with hype sticker and inner sleeve with gold promo stamp. Kylie Minogue's sophomore album, "Enjoy Yourself," released in 1989, is a vibrant testament to the late '80s pop landscape, characterized by its effervescent melodies and bubblegum sensibilities. As a follow-up to her debut, "Kylie," this record solidifies Minogue's status as a pop icon, deftly produced by the legendary Stock Aitken Waterman team. The album opens with the infectious "Hand on Your Heart," a track that captures the quintessential sound of the era with its catchy hooks and polished production. Other standout tracks like "Wouldn't Change a Thing" and "Never Too Late" further exemplify Minogue's knack for delivering feel-good pop anthems, blending upbeat tempos with her distinctively sweet vocal delivery.

What is perhaps most compelling about "Enjoy Yourself" is its unwavering commitment to the pop genre at a time when musical trends were in flux. Minogue’s voice, though not powerful in the traditional sense, carries a unique charm that resonates throughout the album, complemented by the seamless production that Stock Aitken Waterman were renowned for. The album's cohesion is both its strength and its limitation, as it firmly adheres to a formula that, while successful, offers little in the way of musical innovation. Nevertheless, "Enjoy Yourself" remains an emblematic slice of pop history, a celebratory collection of tracks that reflect the optimism and escapism of its time, solidifying Kylie Minogue's enduring appeal in the global pop music scene.
