Kylie Minogue released her sixteenth studio album Tension. But as was the case with the lead single “Padam Padam”, a couple of the songs on it are far to brief. One of which is the album standout “Hold On to Now”. Which despite being a euphoric club jam, wraps itself up all to quickly in just 3 minutes. So, I just-
“Hold On to Now” doesn’t feel as horrendously cut short as “Padam Padam”, but it still feels too short for the type of song that it is. And as was the case with the Extended Mixes version of Disco, Tension’s Extended Mixes sound so badly cobbled together. They’re just made longer for the sake of making them longer, with no real consideration of the song structures. So few of the Extended Mixes are well put together. “Magic” and “Say Something” were the only instances which turned out good and felt like cases where they were the original versions of the songs, which then got cut down for the album. And in the case of “Say Something” this was kinda the case, as one of the writers and producers of the song said that the arrangement of the Extended Mix was closer to original demo version of the song.
So, Kylie. Gurl. If you come across this and you want some extended mixes, just send me the stems and let me make it work.
