Body Language is the ninth studio album by Australian singer
Kylie Minogue, released on 10 November 2003 by
Parlophone. Following the massive commercial success of her eighth studio album
Fever (2001), Minogue enlisted a diverse group of writers and producers to aid in creating a new album, including
Cathy Dennis,
Dan Carey,
Emiliana Torrini,
Johnny Douglas and
Mantronix among others. Influenced by the musical works of the
1980s and artists like
Prince and
Scritti Politti,
Body Language musically differs from Minogue's previous albums, which mainly featured
disco-oriented
dance-pop tracks, and instead explores genres like
synthpop,
electroclash,
R&B, and
hip hop. Many tracks in
Body Language contain references to songs from the 1980s and lyrically, the album touches upon themes of enjoyment, flirting, and sex.
