3. In My Arms: I’m just going to come right out and declare that “In My Arms” is Kylie’s edgiest (and best) post-Fever single, to-date. Sure, on the surface, it’s another in a long line of Minogue’s dance-pop jams that, lyrically, deals in love and lust. But the production work by a young Calvin Harris— who, as myth has it, was selected after Kylie (or at least one of her team members) stumbled upon his bedroom DJ work on MySpace — is mesmerizing. Atmospherically, bouncy electro banger “In My Arms” sounds like Seductress Kylie is chasing us down the halls of some haunted castle, waiting to wrap us in her lovely arms and give us her sexy kiss of death. And, really, what more could any of us possibly ask for than that?
