Data Insight

Aphrodite leans more on outside writing than on Minogue's own pen: she co-writes only a few tracks, including 'Illusion,' 'Looking for an Angel,' and 'Too Much' with Calvin Harris and Jake Shears, while songwriters like Kish Mauve, Nerina Pallot, and Andy Chatterley supply most of the album under Stuart Price's executive production. Her authorship is lighter here than on her self-written records, with Price's cohesive sound doing much of the work.

Aphrodite is the eleventh studio album by Kylie Minogue, released in July 2010 on Parlophone, with Stuart Price as executive producer giving it a unified dance-pop sound. A bright, club-focused record, it returned her to a euphoric disco style and produced the lead single 'All the Lovers.' Minogue co-wrote a handful of tracks, including 'Illusion,' 'Looking for an Angel,' and 'Too Much' with Calvin Harris and Jake Shears, while most songs came from outside writers shaped by Price's production. The album topped the UK chart and was praised as one of her most consistent latter-day pop statements.
