First Look: Kylie Minogue “Better Than Today”

It’s a little slice of 1980s heaven: Back-up girls wearing hot pink wigs for shoulder pads! Back-up boys in Robert Palmer suits and Pac-Man helmets, wielding key-tars against a backdrop of Wham-ian block lettering and Atari 2600 level video game graphics of pixelated monsters gobbling up pellets. All the while, our heroine cockteases a small army of Marshall amps. Oops. Pardon me, I’m drooling. (The keytars, people, the keytars.) Did I mention the song’s pretty good too? It’s “Better Than Today”, the third single from Kylie Minogue‘s super-awesome Aphrodite album, which might’ve been a shoo-in for the best dance-pop record of the year, had Robyn not gone totally over-achiever on all our asses.
