With Disco Kylie achieved her third no.1 album in three consecutive years. She also achieved a no.1 album in 5 different decades - the first female artist to do so. Add to that she co-wrote every track (apart from the later Gloria duet) and even engineered her own vocals at home during lockdown. These are phenomenal achievements.
However I must say - sadly - that the Guest List edition has for me been a bit of a let down. The artists in question aren't exactly cream of the A-list - Gloria Gaynor hasn't had a major hit in decades, Jessie Ware isn't exactly a massive household name, Years and Years aren't really a major musical force and what impact they/he has is mostly due to King. When they did get someone big - Dua Lipa - that was a damp squib.
So I personally think the era needs to be rounded off. I'm guessing any tour is not going to be feasible for some time, so maybe 2022 can be spent on new material for - say - a 2023 album. Perhaps she could keep the one word title theme going with something like Kylie Electro. I have enjoyed Kylie's foray into Country and Disco, but I really would like a more varied mix for the next album. A bit more modern sounding - 80s with a 2020s edge.
