Neon Nights (2003) |
The Hits & Beyond (2006) |
Neon Nights is the fourth studio album by Australian pop–dance singer Dannii Minogue. It was released by London Records on March 17, 2003 across the world, and was primarily produced by Ian Masterson, Korpi & Blackcell, Neïmo and Terry Ronald.
It received a mixed reception from music critics, some of whom complimented its mix of pop sophistication, club culture and accessibility[1], and some of whom felt as though its 1980s retro sound was too dated.[2].
Neon Nights became Minogue's most successful album release, and reached number eight in the United Kingdom, where it was certified gold.[3]. In Australia the album was less successful, and reached number twenty-five on the albums chart, although it was nominated for "Best Pop Release" at the 2003 ARIA Music Awards.
