2001年,Kylie Minogue发行专辑《Fever》。这张专辑加入了复古迪斯科元素以及80年代澳大利亚词作家Roselyn Della Sabina想要创造的华丽舞曲、电子舞曲音乐元素。专辑第一主打单曲《Can't Get You out of My Head》成为Kylie Minogue职业生涯中最成功的单曲，在世界20多个国家拿到了冠军宝座。专辑同样取得了骄人的成绩，在世界范围大卖，很快就突破600万的销量。2002年该专辑被美国的Capitol唱片公司引进在北美发行。　　  　　专辑在美国Billboard 200专辑榜上首周排名季军，单曲《Can't Get You out of My Head》在Billboard Hot 100单曲榜上一度升至第7名。专辑在加拿大专辑榜挤进了前十名。随后发行的单曲《In Your Eyes》、《Love at First Sight》和《Come into My World》均在世界范围内大卖。Kylie Minogue也终于获得了美国主流市场的认可。2003年凭借《Love at First Sight》入围格莱美“年度最佳舞曲”奖,2004年凭借《Come into My World》将该奖拿到手中。　　  　　Kylie Minogue的形象设计师兼御用导演William Baker在谈到专辑《Fever》里的音乐录影带时表示，他的灵感来源于科幻电影，尤其是Stanley Kubrick（斯坦利·库布里克）的作品。他让舞蹈演员扮演Kraftwerk乐队的造型来突出歌曲中的电音味道。2002年的KylieFever巡演指导Alan MacDonald同样突出了演唱会的电音元素，为Kylie量身设计了7款不同的造型。演唱会开场,Kylie身着类似太空服出现，这身造型被Kylie戏称为“《大都会》里的女王”。而这个造型的灵感实则来源于Kubrick经典电影的《A Clockwork Orange》（《发条橙》）。Kylie认为这才是她想做的音乐和演唱会，她是“真的在展示自己”。　　  　　by Chris True　　  　　Fame can be a fleeting mistress, and nowhere more so than in the land of dance-pop divas. Many are lucky enough to have a hit album, much less two or three. What usually takes a one-hit wonder from the singles charts to career diva lies less in catchy hooks than in a combination of talent and the choice of collaborators. Obviously, the master of this technique is Madonna, whose talent and eye for talent in others has made her not only a worldwide pop sensation, but a worldwide icon. Arguably, running a close second is Kylie Minogue. Starting off as not much more than a female voice for the massively successful Stock, Aitken & Waterman hit factory, she moved on to work with some of the most prominent dance producers of the early '90s, making her one of the most visible pop stars outside of the United States. By 1997, she moved on to working with writers outside the genre. While this may have translated into poor record sales, her motives were in the right place. With 2001's Fever, Minogue combines the disco-diva comeback of the previous year's Light Years with the trend of highly simple dance rhythms which was prevalent in the teen dance-pop craze of the years surrounding the album's release. While on the surface that might seem like an old dog trying to learn new tricks, Minogue pulls it off with surprising ease. The first single, "Cant Get You Out of My Head," is a sparse, mid-tempo dance number that pulses and grooves like no other she's recorded, and nothing on Light Years was as funky as the pure disco closer of "Burning Up." And while it's hard not to notice her tipping her hat to the teen pop sound (in fact, on this record she works with Cathy Dennis, former dance-pop star and writer/producer for Brit-teen pop group S Club 7) on songs like "Give It to Me" and "Love at First Sight," her maturity helps transcend this limiting tag, making this a very stylish Euro-flavored dance-pop record that will appeal to all ages. Not one weak track, not one misplaced syrupy ballad to ruin the groove. The winning streak continues. [The U.S. version, released in early March of 2002, included the hidden tracks "Boy" and "Butterfly" -- a B-side and Light Years album track, respectively.]
