Critic Reviews
Show All-
The Irish Times
Sung as if every song sparks joy.
-
The Sydney Morning Herald
Dance floor fillers when dance floors are a distant memory seems a strange thing to offer, but there’s something charmingly freeing in the earnest joyfulness of this record, like the first hints of a rainbow after the clouds have parted.
-
Vinyl Chapters
What this album does well, however, is maintain its distinctive sound and tap into the disco zeitgeist. Kylie, however, takes this sound to a much greater extreme than the likes of Dua Lipa, entering the sanitised realm of day time TV/shopping centre pop (like Katy Perry’s latest album).

NME
Kylie goes full disco-diva on her most consistent and enjoyable album in a decade.

PopMatters
Kylie Minogue's 'Disco' Is a Shimmery, Ethereal Getaway.

V Magazine
A time travelling trip back to the disco-fuelled era of sweat-inducing, up-tempo sugar rushes was all we really needed at this time. And your disco needs Kylie. You just don’t know it yet.
-
The Independent
Glitterball pop album reminds us of being alive.
-
Hotpress
A masterful space-disco album of relentless bangers from one of pop music's best.
-
The Quietus
As a collection of songs, DISCO is a terrific soundtrack to washing the dishes or a dance-off.
-
Mrs Giggles
Sadly, Disco is at the end of the day an unnecessary album. Fever is twenty years old but sounds far more interesting, fresh, and fun than anything on this album.
-
Sputnik Music
A great return to her heyday, Kylie releases a collection of enjoyable disco-pop, unfortunately marred by two duds.
-
musicOMH
The sound is largely fresh and pays genuine homage to carefree nights at the disco with gusto, charm and flair, all qualities that Minogue has in spades.
-
Idolator
If you need a break from the heaviness of 2020, this is your ticket to another dimension where romance fills the (non-toxic) air and the dance floor is always heaving. Few albums in the history of pop have been as desperately needed as this.

Chicago Sun-Times
“DISCO” feels a bit like a fantasy electric blanket on a cold night — it will bring comfort but also shock you into joy from time to time.
-
A Bit of Pop Music
Kylie Minogue knows exactly how to lift the spirits of us pop lovers with this record and the performance. It is not only nostalgia in terms of the disco sound, but also in the sense that it is a proper party album while most of the world can’t really enjoy a night out at the moment because of the pandemic.

Huffington Post
DISCO is just the tonic 2020 needs.
-
All Music
Fifteen albums into her illustrious career, the pop chameleon shows no signs of slowing down, rebooting her catalog once again with what she does best: delivering joy and inspiration through the power of dance.

Dancefloor darling is back in the groove.

Metro Weekly
Kylie Minogue's "Disco" is one of the strongest albums of the year.

NME
Kylie goes full disco-diva on her most consistent and enjoyable album in a decade.

Beats Per Minute
What it does do is provide some light, fresh relief in a dark year, a little shot of rescue remedy as we prepare for a lockdown winter. It has all the superficial trademarks of Kylie’s work – dancefloor euphoria, knowing pop references – but without many of the richer details that make them more enduring.
-
Thomas Bleach
‘DISCO’ was the record that Kylie Minogue needed to make in 2020. It’s a carefree, playful and empowering collection of tracks that doesn’t take life too seriously. And after the wild year that we’ve all had, we deserve something a little playful.
-
The Daily Californian
Though Disco may have aimed a little too high for its capability, it remains a fun and joyful listen that will likely fulfill fans’ hunger and give the gift of nostalgia to those who need a little escape in their lives during these challenging times.
-
The Star
The 12-track set, simply titled Disco, is a cohesive playlist for an exceptional dance-heavy experience.
-
The Times
An album fulfilling the simple but noble task of providing music that cheers us up is all we need right now.
-
The Guardian
In these dark days, Kylie steps up and delivers a shimmering stream of dancefloor bangers.
-
Pitchfork
The Australian pop icon has made several decades’ worth of great disco—yet her new album is a polyester-thin fabrication that sounds as if she’d only just heard of it recently.

Talk About Pop Music
Well, what an incredible collection of anthems, this is surly Kylie’s most accomplished work to date and one which she has written with both experience and memories of her own past, while looking at the world today and injecting the antidote that we all need. It’s been said that Kylie has ‘saved’ 2020 and if you slide into this collection of tunes that last just under an hour, you may be cured yourself.

Kylie Minogue’s Disco Is a Sugar Rush Worth the Hangover.
-
Star Observer
Disco is indeed Kylie’s best album for quite some time, it could rightly be argued to be the best album of her career.
-
Clash Magazine
A blast of uplifting dancefloor inspiration.
-
Giglist
One of the treats with DISCO is that it manages to be explorative while staying true to a disco root.
-
The Arts Desk
Much-needed escapism from Australia's finest export.
-
Eventalaide
Although Kylie is for sure in her element with this disco-pop style, unfortunately her album DISCO felt very autotuned, rushed and repetitive. If you are a small dancing child or a big fan of her 80s disco style you will love it! But it is not for everyone and in my eyes isn’t one of her standout Albums.

Kylie Minogue's 'Disco' is a nostalgic, necessary escape.
-
DIY Magazine
Helmed by pop’s most lovable stalwart, you can’t help but crack a smile.
-
Spectrum Culture
Though not a reinvention of the genre nor of Minogue, Disco adds to each one’s pop culture standing, the former as a foundational pillar of today’s music and the latter as a prolific and still wonderfully entertaining pop act for nearly 30 years.
-
Entertainment Focus
Kylie described the album as a galactic disco and it will certainly beam you up to a happier place of escapism in this crazy year.
