Official Video: Kylie Minogue - All The Lovers

We kick off June filled with love and lovers as the video of Kylie's All The Lovers fill the airwaves today. The most anticipated video of the season -- All The Lovers is the first single off Kylie's 11th studio offering Aphrodite. On 20 Apr 2010, she announced about the new material she had been working on since early 2009, revealed the album artwork and title plus a 30-sec snippet of what would be the the first single All The Lovers.

On 14 May, Kylie premiered All The Lovers on the radio over at UK BBC Radio 1 and the full HQ song on Parlophone's Youtube page. The single will be released physically on 13 June whilst Aphrodite will be on 05 July 2010.

Watch Aphrodite and her band of mortals in a massive, tasteful orgy of the decade. Noteworthy: 2m51s two guys kissing. Hotness! Kylie barely made movements yet the impact is so huge. I LOVES EEEET!!!



The video was directed by Joseph Kahn and was shot in Los Angeles.

Why do I love the video:
1) Kylie has been around since 1987 and the woman seem to have defied age and ageing -- she's 42 BTW
2) The concept captures the feel of the song and gives a perfect introduction of who Aphrodite is -- the Goddess of Beauty and Love.
3) In this digital age where most pop and mainstream artists would have a futuristic, robotic, mechanical theme, Kylie went back to the ancient times and channeled the era where gods/goddess and humans co-existed but this time in a modern set up, ergo, downtown L.A.
4) The video pacing was a little slow but as the it progressed, it tells a story which who that Kylie depicts. Simple and finite.
5) Stuart Price did a great job with this track while Joseph Kahn cemented the song's stature in the pop world, and Kylie -- she's the epitome of a goddess. She is Aphrodite of the modern times -- beautiful, well-loved, fragile and influential.
6) Fashion: Shoes are to-die for; the cone-shaped bra homage to the Material Girl( Kylie pays homage to Madonna where she has admitted several times about how much she looks up to her, that she's quite happy being the princess while Madonna is the queen); Skin: Kylie's skin is absolutely flawless and that signature Aussie Bum, my-my! Thanks to all the make-up, lighting, editing and whatever scientific aid she may have sought but hey, it does look flawless. She makes 42 look real good.
7) And come on, which better artist that has the same, if not more beauty and flair, can create a mountain or pyramid of mortals making out in a bustling downtown area.

PS: Are those BBM bar codes imprinted on the coffee cups and milk bottles? Hmmm...
