Kylie Minogue: 'In My Arms'

Though it's patchy, frequently uninspired and, well, just a bit too safe, Kylie's X album isn't without its charms, being home to a handful of terrific pop moments. It certainly doesn't deserve the latest ignominy to have befallen it – being sold off for £6 at the two leading high street music retailers.

Fortunately, just in the nick of time, a white knight has arrived to save X from the bargain bins. He's tall, Scottish and more than acceptable in the world of late noughties pop music; he's trendy knob-twiddler Calvin Harris. Filling 'In My Arms' with a riot of fuzzy synths, a generous smattering of 'whooosh!' effects and a brilliant, arms-in-the-air chorus, he's given Kylie her most infectious single since 'I Believe In You'. The lesson to be learned? With the right collaborator, Kylie's still capable of creating dancefloor nirvana.
