Kylie Minogue is the fifth studio album by Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue, which was first released on 19 September 1994. It was her first collection recorded after leaving the famous PWL 'Hit Factory'. The album was first released by Deconstruction Records/BMG throughout much of the world while in Australia and New Zealand the album was released by Mushroom. Plans for an American release by Imago Records (who issued the lead single there) fell through. With the new deal with her record label, Minogue worked with new producers including Brothers in Rhythm, M People, Farley And Heller, Jimmy Harry and Ronin, among others.
Musically, the album varies many musical genres but stays in the pop music field. The album represented a new change in Minogue's music, working with more new jack swing, jazz, house, techno music, sounds. It became the third studio album by Minogue to contain songs written by her. The main themes of the album concern love, with many of the sub-themes heading towards confession, infidelity, sex and lust. Examples of the themes come from singles "Confide in Me" and "Put Yourself In My Place", both surrounding the theme of love and honesty.
Upon release, Kylie Minogue received favorable reviews from most music critics. Many critics praised the direction of the album, who thought the midtempo songs were pleasing and praised Minogue's vocals and production.Kylie Minogue was a chart success, peaking at number three on the Australian ARIA albums chart in October 1994, and was certified Gold for shipments of 35,000 copies. It was equally successful in the UK, peaking at number four, and was certified Gold for shipments of 100,000 copies. Three singles were released; "Confide in Me", the lead single from the album, became one of Minogue's most successful single releases, reaching number one for five weeks in Australia, number two in the United Kingdom and reaching number one in Israel, as well as charting well across Europe and the US dance charts. The second single, "Put Yourself in My Place", reached number eleven in both Australia and the UK. The song featured a popular music video directed by Kier McFarlane. "Where Is the Feeling?" became the third release and reached number 16 in the UK and number 31 in Australia.
