Red Blooded Woman

"Red Blooded Woman" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her ninth studio album, Body Language (2003).

The music video for "Red Blooded Woman", directed by Jake Nava, features Minogue seductively dancing in various locations such as a traffic jam and in front of a truck.

[1] Aiming to create a dance-pop album inspired by electronic music from the 1980s,[2] Minogue enlisted collaborators such as Johnny Douglas (who had previously worked with her on Light Years) and Karen Poole.

Billboard critic Keith Claufield singled out the song as a highlight from the album and called it "a cousin of Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me a River'.

"[8] Louis Vartel from the LGBT oriented website NewNownext, ranked it at number 46 on his list of the singer's 48 greatest songs, in honour of her 48th birthday.

[14] More negative was Guillermo Alonso from the Spanish edition of Vanity Fair, who felt that "wanting to sound like Destiny's Child, Justin Timberlake or Timbaland, was not a right move" for the singer.

[22] In Switzerland, "Red Blooded Woman" peaked higher than its preceding single "Slow", reaching number 15 on the Schweizer Hitparade.

[25] The music video for "Red Blooded Woman" was directed by English film director Jake Nava, who had previously worked with artists like Beyoncé and Kelis.

She is shown seated in her car sensually singing along to the song, with the camera repeatedly focusing on her eyes and lips, wearing a black and white singlet, a satin waist cincher, jeans with chain fringes, and a black sheepskin shrug (this outfit was donated by Minogue to the Arts Centre Melbourne and is displayed in the Kylie Minogue Collection).

As the second chorus starts, Minogue is seen dancing with a group of backup dancers at a different location, wearing a fluorine yellow bustier underneath a pastel pink dress designed by French fashion house Balenciaga.

The rest of the video rapidly intersperses scenes of Minogue dancing inside and in front of the truck, on a car, with the backup dancers, and near a gang of motorcyclists.

[28] A one-off concert show, Money Can't Buy, was held at entertainment venue Hammersmith Apollo, London, on 15 November 2003 to promote Body Language.

[36] The performances of the song during all three of the tours contained an excerpt from "Where the Wild Roses Grow" and were preceded by a segment showing numerous male backup dancers showering.

[33][35][36] After a gap of 15 years, the song was next performed at Minogue's headlining British Summer Time concert at London's Hyde Park in July 2024, where she was surrounded by male dancers in suits.
