X - classic Kylie or musical mis-step?

Of all of Kylie’s albums from her long and storied career, few elicit as many strong opinions as 2007’s X. An album many believed tried to cover too much ground.

So what’s the truth behind the making of the album? Why exactly did it end up sounding so disjointed and confused? Who was offered ‘Like a Drug’ first? What was the inspiration for the song ‘Wow?’ How did Parlophone upset so many songwriters and producers whilst making the record? And how did Calvin Harris really feel about working with the diminutive diva for the first time?
