Kylie Minogue had worked with Xenomania for her Aphrodite album. 5 years ago they would have given Kylie magic. But now they give her lifeless drivel that are barely good enough to be bonus tracks.

"Mighty rivers" is alright. "Heartstrings" stinks like Tila Tequila's breath.
I used to love Brian Higgins and his Xenomania crew. Ever since their earlier work with the Sugababes I'd been a fan. Even some of their work with Girls aloud was amazing, spawning pop gems such as "Sound of the underground", "The show", "Wake me up" and "Biology". But Xenomania's sound is such a mess now. All of their stuff sounds the same and has the artists singing as though they're sedated with an IV drip in a wheelchair.
When you listen to Aphrodite and then listen to "Mighty rivers" and "Heartstrings", you can hear why they were relegated to bonus tracks. They wouldn't have sat nicely within the album at all. "Mighty rivers" is at least decent enough to warrant Kylie performing it on her upcoming tour, and chances are she probabaly will. It'd act as a nice song to slow things down with.
