Unleashed is a compilation album by Australian dance-pop singer Dannii Minogue. It was released by Rhino Entertainment and Warner Music UK on 5 November 2007. As this was a budget release compilation, it was ineligible for the UK Albums Chart.

Album history

The album contains unreleased tracks and remixes personally chosen by the singer.[1] Commenting on the album's release, Minogue said, "This album is about my personal favourites – bringing you the best unreleased material, including club mixes that were number one and songs I've written with my favourite producers around the world."[2]

The new material for the album was recorded in 2003 and 2004 for what was to be the follow-up to Neon Nights with London Records, except "Blame It On the Music" and "Viva L'Amour", which were recorded during the Neon Nights sessions. "Viva L'amour" was released as an iTunes bonus track and was given a physical release when released with Neon Nights 20 in June 2023.

The original track listing as advertised on play.com featured four additional tracks. "Weak", "Fear of Flying", "Karma Is a Bitch" and "Healing on the Dancefloor", composed by Swedish production duo Korpi & Blackcell, disappeared from the final release for unknown reasons. The four tracks eventually leaked on SoundCloud in September 2011.
