Kylie Minogue在帮Pet Shop Boys合作录制专辑《Nightlife》后离开Deconstruction唱片公司，并于1999年4月签约Parlophone唱片公司。她在2000年发行的专辑《Light Years》灵感来源于20世纪70年代的迪斯科舞曲艺人，像Donna Summer和Village People之类的人物。而其中的部分歌曲由Guy Chambers和Robbie Williams来填词，歌词富有幽默感。《New Musical Express》认为这张专辑预示着Kylie的创造性能量再度爆发，对于专辑的评价极高。专辑一经发出立即热销亚洲、澳大利亚和欧洲，短短时间内就在世界范围突破了200万张。首支单曲《Spinning Around》也成为她在英国10年来的第一支冠军单曲。该歌的音乐录影带同样火辣性感,Kylie的金色性感热裤造型甚是惹火，该mv在世界各国广泛热播。接下来的第二单曲、与英国天王Robbie Williams合唱的《Kids》同样取得了不俗的成绩。 by Chris True   In 1998, Kylie Minogue was dropped by dance label DeConstruction, and some thought she had committed career suicide. Obviously the backlash of 1997's Impossible Princess taught the diminutive Aussie one important lesson. Sometimes you have to just go with what you know -- go back to basics. And that's just what Minogue has done with 2000s Light Years. Symbolically dropping her last name from the cover, she re-enters the territory that made her great. Granted, with the teen pop movement at its strongest, one could say she just has good timing, but this work is leaps and bounds better than her Stock-Aitken-Waterman work. Light Years is not just another Minogue dance-pop record, but a great collection of disco stylings and Europop kitsch. "Spinning Around" is a fun and string-laden declaration that she may have made a mistake back in 1997, and the Robbie Williams-/Guy Chambers-penned "Your Disco Needs You" is probably one of the best dance songs of the last ten years. Arguably one of the best disco records since the '70s, Light Years is Minogue comfortable with who she is and what she's good at.
