Neon Nights is the fourth studio album by Australian pop–dance singer Dannii Minogue. It was released by London Records on March 17 2003 and was primarily produced by Ian Masterson, Korpi & Blackcell, Neïmo and Terry Ronald. It was re-issued in November 2007 with a bonus disc of remixes and different artwork.

Album History

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 2009 ARIA Music Awards.[citation needed]
