Let's Get to It is the fourth studio album by Australian singer and songwriter Kylie Minogue, released on 14 October 1991 by PWL Records. Like the majority of her previous recordings, production credits and creations were handled by , but also featured other writers and producers for the works of the studio album.
Critically, the album received mixed reviews from music critics. Most of them noticed a musical and symbolic change towards Minogue's image, but criticized most of the input of the record. Let's Get to It remains Minogue's least successful studio album to date, missing the top ten in both her native Australia and United Kingdom. Nonetheless, the album was certified gold in Australia. A promotional tour, entitled Let's Get to It Tour managed to have success around Europe.
In 1991, Matt Aitken left , the long-time record producing trio for Minogue, because he felt he was "burnt out." "People say all our records sound the same, but it came to a point where they started sounding all the same to me," he said.
Over the course of the year, Minogue returned to the studio with her remaining producers and Pete Waterman, co-writing six tracks with them. She told Smash Hits a lot of her new songs are "pretty different." "Everything from big band swing stuff to a more soulful kind of thing," the magazine recalls her words. Minogue also suggested that she hoped to find time to do more recording that year. "I may do some more writing in America which may lead to another recording there," she told.
During this time, Minogue was fascinated by club music. Although her music was always played in commercial clubs, but the pop element of her earlier works made the "cooler clubs" tend to "frown upon." Minogue then created an alias for herself as "Angel K," set about releasing white label promotional vinyl's of tracks included "Do You Dare" and "Closer", both of the songs later appeared as B-sides on "Give Me Just a Little More Time" and "Finer Feelings", respectively.
