Yes, it's still simple
Stock-Aitken-Waterman dance-pop, but
Rhythm of Love is leaps and bounds more mature than
Kylie's first two releases. The songwriting is stronger, the production dynamic, and
Kylie seems more confident vocally. And while
Kylie and
Enjoy Yourself were collections of songs to back up singles, this is a more complete album, with many of the tracks -- "Things Can Only Get Better" a prime example -- single worthy. Definitely her best work from the
Stock-Aitken-Waterman era. ~ Chris True
