By the Numbers
Rhythm of Love is the turning point in Minogue's authorship: it carries her first writing credits, on songs like 'The World Still Turns,' 'One Boy Girl,' 'Count the Days,' and the title track, where she co-writes with collaborators such as Stephen Bray and Michael Jay. Stock Aitken Waterman still write and produce the bulk of the record, so it sits between her interpreter phase and the co-writer she became. Her name enters the writing column for the first time without yet dominating it.
Rhythm of Love is the third studio album by Kylie Minogue, released in November 1990 on PWL. It marks the start of her shift from pure interpreter toward co-writer: while Stock Aitken Waterman still wrote and produced most of the album, Minogue earned her first writing credits here, co-writing several tracks with outside collaborators. A more grown-up dance-pop record, it carried the hits 'Better the Devil You Know,' 'Step Back in Time,' and 'What Do I Have to Do.' The album reached the UK top ten and signaled the beginning of Minogue taking a hand in her own songwriting.
