Catchy chorus, simple idea to the song - the film clip backs it up really well too.
Not what we were all expecting - and we were all expecting something!
The great thing about this single is that it is a departure from what we were all expecting. Kylie aficionados have a bank of demo tracks released for the X album and this song ignores the electronic, futuristic meets 80s, dance feel of those tracks. Having said that, I had heard friends reactions to the single before I heard it myself and was expecting something lacklustre like Slow. While 2 Hearts is not perhaps the dancefloor anthem comeback that would have launched her to unstoppable heights (like Madonna's comeback glory with Hung Up and a sling of infectious dance anthems off the Confessions album), it is, in my opinion, a good first single for a new album - there is a little shock value in that this is not a 'Kylie' single that fans and critics would have expected. It certainly has our attention. The simple chorus and the identifiable 'wooo!' remain in your head and you'll be singing that over and over. The film clip boosts this singles credibility. Kylie has a real sense of maturity in this clip - it's performance based - gone are the limb swinging symbolic dance routines and here are the bizarre 80s punk style band members. Kylie seems really comfortable and confident with where she is in her career, and that oozes out of the clip. So I guess fans and critics should take this on board - while an initial feeling of confusion after hearing the leaked album tracks and then 2 Hearts and then asking "what is she thinking?", this is a good track, and Kylie knows what she is doing. I say we trust he allegiance to her fans that X will not disappoint us. This single is a weave in a much larger fabric.I like it!
