Chocolate (Kylie Minogue Song)

"Chocolate" is a song by Australian recording artist and songwriter Kylie Minogue, taken from her ninth studio album Body Language (2003). The song was written by Karen Poole and Johnny Douglas, while production was handled by Douglas. Released on 28 June, 2004 by Parlophone and Mushroom, the song later appeared on her 2004 greatest compilation Ultimate Kylie. Before the commercial release of Minogue's version, "Chocolate" was originally a duet including a rap by Ludacris, however it wasn't released as the final mix.

Musically, the song utilizes a dance written song, but features elements of pop and R&B. Although lyrically, the song has been unexplained, however many over viewers have subjected that the song talks about Kylie being consumed by love. "Chocolate" received mainly mixed reviews from music critics, enjoying her lyrics, while criticizing the transition to more R&B and hip-hop-oriented music. After its release, "Chocolate" experienced moderate success on the charts, peaking inside the top ten in the United Kingdom and Hungary. However, it charted lower in her native Australia at number fourteen, becoming her first single to chart outside the top ten since 2001.

An accompanying music video was shot by Dawn Shadforth and was filmed on 6 and 7 June 2004 in London, England. It featured Minogue in a Moroccon-inspired theme, where it features a group of dancers dancing in the video. The video was a moderate hit on music channels. The song has only been performed twice on Minogue's major concert tours, these being Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour and Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour.

Famous quotes containing the word chocolate:

    The man who invented Eskimo Pie made a million dollars, so one is told, but E.E. Cummings, whose verse has been appearing off and on for three years now, and whose experiments should not be more appalling to those interested in poetry than the experiment of surrounding ice-cream with a layer of chocolate was to those interested in soda fountains, has hardly made a dent in the doughy minds of our so-called poetry lovers.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
