Dannii's new album Fear of Releasing Music track-listing revealed!

Above: Dannii was 'floored' when she heard Healing On The Dancefloor.

Former sunlounger tyrant turned frumpy MILF Dannii Minogue must be scoring as high as her sisters right eyebrow right now as all her unreleased post Neon Nights recordings seem to be hitting the back of the net.  Hard.  Whilst we all anticipate how disappointing, lazy and half-assed her next bootleg single will be when it arrives in 2015, Team Minogue must have decided to get our juices flowing with an unexpected array of 'buzz' singles.  Late to arrive, Healing On The Dancefloor comes just days after its sister tracks Fear of Flying and Karma Is A Bitch were exposed to mixed responses, in turns blown away, moderately pleased and lukewarm.  Diva Incarnate is very much in favour of how sophisticated and artistic they are - take Fear of Flying for example where Dannii tells heartfelt tales about homophobia, office worker ennui and domestic violence before rejecting any responsibility herself by blurting out "answers? I don't know".  Healing On The Dancefloor is a low key stunner, but no single.  Who is to say whether any of these would have done well for her as singles? We must remember that Spend Your Love On Me sounded a tiny bit like that slightly successful #1 single Just A Little Bit by Liberty X, but in a distinctly Dannii way (ie. bitchy, aloof and tinged with drug-induced glamour). The only other track that has yet to leak, that I have long wanted to hear anyway, is a Kara DioGuardi co-write called Message In A Bottle.  Maybe Nathansayz forgot to wash all the KY off his hands when he logged into gaydar to persuade guys to have sex with him and the whole thing just backfired - however we have got these tracks doesn't matter, it is a bittersweet time to be a Dannii Fannii yet again.

My own 'imaginary' Dannii 2004 album called Fear of Releasing Music goes ... something like this:

01. Fear of Flying
02. Karma Is A Bitch
03. Spend Your Love On Me
04. Going Going Gone
05. Sex Dice
06. No Romeo
07. Message In A Bottle
08. Welcome The Teardrops
09. Karma Sutra
10. Invitation
11. Do You Believe Me Now
12. Healing On The Dancefloor
13. Loving You All Over Again

Dannii's Belated 'Buzz' Singles

In an effort to create some 'buzz' for Dannii Minogue's stagnant pop career, two of her most highly-anticipated unreleased tracks have recently leaked. Both Karma Is A Bitch and the supposed lead single that never was Fear of Flying are 'out there'. Recorded for the follow-up to 2003's nice n' sleazy Neon Nights album, they were produced by Korpi and Blackcell along with another as-yet unreleased song called Healing On The Dancefloor. Karma is by far my favourite, silky, smooth and seductive, it simply glides into your ears and is good enough to make me believe Guy Sigsworth produced it! It also contains the bitchy lyric "is that baby on prescriptions just to get into a zone?" Fear of Flying is not as instant, but has even dirtier beats and contains a heartfelt plot about a gay guy coming out of the closet (done much better than a certain try-hard tranny I could mention), and the rippling middle-8 followed by a stream of piano keys are utterly divine. Both tracks ooze classic Dannii iciness and yet are luxurious and touching. What they both highlight is how lazy she became with her AATW mash-ups such as You Won't Buys This Either, Rejection and Douche Me Like That. If she had an album ready to go containing these two leaks, not to mention the 'odds and ends' Unleashed compilation album highlights Spend Your Love On Me and No Romeo, then she was a major nong for choosing the easy option of releasing disparate dance mash-ups with AATW every 6 months.
