Two spot checks had partial issues (11 in re: Your Body being first and 30), and there are copy changes. Give this a fresh look after languishing almost six months. Ping me when done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:39, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for picking this up for a review. I've made changes based on your comments. Please let me know if I’m missing anything Damian Vo (talk) 16:24, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Lead

 * was a released as a surprise remove the first "a"
 * The recording process started in September 2014, which enlisted Giorgio Moroder, Sam Sparro, and Shaggy as co-writers and feature vocalists Reword because September 2014 didn't enlist anyone: the recording process did.
 * Done Damian Vo (talk) 15:41, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Background and recording

 * Minogue met with several songwriters and producers to create the album, among them was Mexican-American producer Fernando Garibay. Two sentences. The comma is not enough. Replace it with a semicolon. (WP:CINS)
 * They recorded several songs intended for Kiss Me Once but none of them made it onto the final tracklist. Comma after "Once"
 * an accompany short film accompanying
 * Garibay has known Moroder since he was 16, and admired his early film scores for their sensuality. Remove comma (sentence has one subject, not two)
 * Garribay typo
 * Done Damian Vo (talk) 15:41, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Music and lyrics

 * "Black and White" is a 1990s-inspired chill-out Eurodance song, in which Shaggy raps over Minogue's delicate vocals. Remove comma (CINS)
 * The EP was digitally distributed on the iTunes Store and streaming service Spotify, before Warner Music Japan and Parlophone released it as a promotional CD-R five days later. No need for this comma right now; maybe drop "before" and add a semicolon there instead
 * Done Damian Vo (talk) 15:41, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Reception

 * A low-key experimental project, Kylie and Garibay has little success on the music charts Should this not be "had"
 * In 2023, Classic Pop's listed "Black and White" and "If I Can't Have You" among Minogue's best collaborations, and named "Your Body" her second-best deep-cut track. Remove comma after "collaborations" (CINS)

Sourcing and spot checks

 * 11: Shared ref to two articles from Idolator and Billboard. ✅ except for one item.
 * Your Body as earliest song: Not seeing it. Does another ref cover this?
 * Removed as the ref is unreliable/self-published. Damian Vo (talk) 16:18, 19 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Garibay knowing Moroder since 16: I met Giorgio when I think I was 16.
 * Garibay trying to go erotic: His early stuff was really sexual and erotic, but not in a pornographic way. It was more like art. I’ve always wanted to do something like that. ✅
 * Need for a male counterpart: We needed someone to play the part of the guy. Who was that guy? Who better than Shaggy?
 * Introduction to Shaggy: Garibay says that when they were working on the tune, “it was missing something… I was like, ‘God, we need someone on this.’” After brainstorming, his manager, Martin Kierszenbaum, suggested Shaggy.
 * 20: I can't verify Flynn, as the images are unreadable. The others work: Kylie previously worked with Garibay on last year’s Sleepwalker EP, but the new mini-collection takes on a very different tone and The appropriately-titled Kylie + Garibay is the pop icon’s second collaborative effort with the dance producer (revisit their first here), but the tone is very different this time around ✅
 * 22: And it's quite a dancy-euro-type dance track, with a mix in from Shaggy., it’s the hypnotic, ’90s-sounding club banger “Black And White” that gets a music video., Shaggy's rapping over her floaty vocals ✅
 * 30: Neither of these refs seem to justify this. One doesn't even talk about Black and White.
 * Removed the "end of relationship" part and fixed the wrong ref. Damian Vo (talk) 16:18, 19 March 2024 (UTC)


 * 54: Yup, Caulfield said that quote and praised the production. ✅
 * 61: A captivating Italian monologue recited by disco legend Giorgio Moroder heralds the intersection of three electro heavyweights on ‘Your Body’. Released between Minogue albums as part of a collaborative EP with Fernando Garibay (best known for his work on Lady Gaga’s Born This Way), the track is mechanical and mesmerising. ✅

Images
Except for the NFUR-bearing album art, all the images are CC-licensed. The Minogue image lacks alt text, and "Refer to caption" would suffice.
 * Added alt text. Damian Vo (talk) 16:19, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
