Kylie - Padam

[LongTermLurker]

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I've just come across Kylie's track "Padam". So good!

And she just looks bloody amazing too.

It's reawoken my inner 14 year old. I'm going to have to learn the dance 😂

Yes - I don't normally like any music after 1998 but I really like this track.

It's a banger

Hate it.

I love that too - and also the newest one - Tension.

sounds more like a song for a radio in a space station in outa space.
that said its a good tune

Loathsome song. Nasal and just no.

The middle chorus bit 'padam padam I hear it and I know' is a massive rip off of the Kaiser Chiefs' song 'Every Day I Love You Less And Less', specifically the chorus bit 'I know, I feel it in my bones, I'm sick, I'm tired of staying in control'.

Is it acknowledged anywhere? I haven't seen anything about it. Maybe it's just me.

I really don't see that at all

Also whatever one thinks of the song, it's incredible for a woman in her fifties to go too ten and make it the radio one playlist. Shouldn't be but it is

I thought that

With you op- I heard this and thought ‘please let this be Kylie!’ and then just nodded. Happy days!!

I like it too. And agree with op about it being played in radio 1 and how it was a battle.

just reading an article/ apparently 40pc of radio 1 listeners are 15-29. Im surprised by that.

To me it reminds me of Uninvited by Freemasons from 2007, but this is a softer version more palatable to the average radio listener

But what does it mean? It's nonsense!

And Kylie should stop with the fillers and plastic surgery. She looks nothing like herself.

But what does it mean? It's nonsense!

Padam, padam - it's the sound of the heartbeat of the guy who's bowled over by her irresistible charms.

I admire Kylie massively. The song is catchy. The lyrics are tiresome. It's Kylie from 20+ years ago. Yes, I know you're still hot. But I want something richer, more interesting and complex from an icon like you. Please.

When I heard it, the first thing that struck me was, it would be an awesome Eurovision song - catchy, nonsense word chorus, fun, sexy, ultimate pop. I'm really curious to know who wrote it, and if they had Eurovision in mind, then decided it was too good for that and offered it to Kylie instead!

Ha! I was right - just looked it up on wikipedia - written by Norwegian singer Ina Wroldson with a British producer and they first considered giving it to Rita Ora, or for Eurovision!

Softer version would be the original by Alanis Morissette.

I don't mind Kylie but her music is very dated.

Don't get the hype with this song. Love tension though.

Padam means 'step' is Sanskrit and is linked to words like pedal in English. Padam padam kind of means step by step. I say it to myself all the time to slow my thinking down.

Yes, I totally agree! The punctuation and beat is the same!

I assume it must be also inspired by Edith Piaf's song of the same name.
