Let's Get to It

Let's Get to It is Kylie Minogue's fourth studio album which was released on October 14, 1991 by Mushroom Records and PWL.
==Album Background==
In 1991, Matt Aitken left Stock Aitken Waterman (the long-time record producing trio for Kylie Minogue) because he felt he was "burnt out." He said, "People say all our records sound the same, but it came to a point where they started sounding all the same to me."
Over the course of the year, Minogue returned to the studio with her remaining producers Mike Stock and Pete Waterman, co-writing six tracks with them. She told Smash Hits a lot of her new songs are "pretty different." "Everything from big band swing stuff to a more soulful kind of thing," the magazine recalls her words.
Minogue also suggested that she hoped to find time to do more recording that year. She said: "I may do some more writing in America which may lead to another recording there."
During this time, Minogue was fascinated by club music. Although her music was always played in commercial clubs, but the pop element of her earlier works made the "cooler clubs" tend to "frown upon." 
She then created an alias for herself as "Angel K," set about releasing white label promotional vinyl's of tracks included "Do You Dare" and "Closer" (both of the songs later appeared as B-sides on "Give Me Just a Little More Time" and "Finer Feelings" respectively).
The album was not a contractual obligation for Minogue as this had been fulfilled with the three studio albums (plus the future "Greatest Hits" album) so a new deal was re-negotiated. 
Following her release from PWL, Minogue stated that she felt stifled by Stock, Aitken and Waterman, saying: "I was very much a puppet in the beginning. I was blinkered by my record company. I was unable to look left or right."
When asked about whether he knew it would be her final studio album with PWL, Waterman said: "Yes. I mean in hindsight, we should have actually sold that album before we made it. If I was as brilliant as I’d like to think I could have been I would have had the common sense to say that Kylie had become such a big star she was overshadowing us and killing our creativity and that if we had stepped out at that point, we’d have had to gone back to what we were good at and that was finding new artists and constantly finding new things to do and being completely creative instead of worrying about who was going to pay the rent and all the salaries at the end of the month."

==Chart Performance==
"Let's Get to It" is Minogue's least successful album to date, peaking at #15 in 1991 in the United Kingdom upon its release.
The album then re-entered the British charts after the success of "Give Me Just a Little More Time", which was released in January 1992, seeing the album return to the UK chart at number 68 in January 1992, then dropping off. Three weeks later, the album re-entered the UK albums chart at number 50
==Critical Reception==
Chris True from AllMusic gave the album two and a half stars, called the album is "certainly as danceable" as her previous album, "Rhythm of Love," but "not her most solid release, but fans of her early work will enjoy it."
Joe Sweeney from PopMatters said the album's musical styles make it "sound more dated by half than Rhythm of Love." Digital Spy claimed their readers not to let the Stock Aitken Waterman fool them.
Nick Griffiths from Select called it "easily her best album", with the "teeny-beat" production has been "superseded by a glossier, more soulful production, rising to the impressive but blatant clubdom 'I Guess I Like It Like That.'" However, he still looked at the album as a "false tease", claimed her music "is still for virgins." Nathan Wood from Foxtel's MaxTV called the album "a musical exploration."
