THROWBACK BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW
The focus of the month is a legendary song we all know, one that made its big comeback during the Kylie Summer two years ago, with a splendid remix by Steve Anderson who knows how to give us the adrenaline before Kylie arrives on stage... We are of course talking about Better The Devil You Know!
A turning point in Kylie’s career Better The Devil You Know was written by the trio of producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman, who were at that time in charge of composing and writing Kylie’s songs. The song, released on her third album, Rhythm Of Love in 1990, is the first single of the opus. This was a radical change for the singer: She became sexier, more confident, and the music was more pop/dance than before. While she was working on this new album, Kylie announced that she would leave Neighbours, to devote herself entirely to her music career. This was a disappointed for many fans, as Kylie was really important in the Australian soap. But that didn’t stop fans from supporting her in the other aspect of her carreer. Better The Devil You Know ranked at the 2nd place in England and 4th in Australia, but also in the Top 40 of many countries. According to many rumors, this song also refers to her relationship with Michael Hutchence, with the lyrics «I’ll forgive and forget», which most probably relates to the extravagance of her boyfriend at the time, and his behavior on tour.
