New Good Song: Timebomb by Kylie Minogue

Here's a new good song -- "Timebomb" by Kylie Minogue

How I found this song -- Scanning the iTunes Top 200. Incidentally, if you don't have iTunes, you can still look at the list online, although you'll only get half of it, and you won't be able to listen to anything. Ultimately, if it's new good songs you seek, you'd be remiss not to make the real iTunes one of your stops. If you do have iTunes but find the Top 200 overwhelming to peruse, sort by artist for quicker scanning.

Why is this song good? -- Dance songs with good harmonies and real music in them can be a joy. In the case of "Timebomb," you might miss the goodness if you quit listening before 00:37, when things get good. The verses are throwaways, but the pre-chorus and chorus are killer. Kylie Minogue has enough of a career under her belt that she shouldn't be associated with sheer junk, so her odds of putting out a new good song are higher than average. However, modern dance music can be bad, but the odds of goodnes improve when the song is affiliated with Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom.
