Confide in Me is a compilation album by Kylie Minogue that was released in November 2001. The album contains songs from both of her DeConstruction studio albums, Kylie Minogue and Impossible Princess. "Breathe," the third single from Impossible Princess, was not featured on the album.
Background[]
Prior to being signed to Parlophone, Minogue’s previous labels decided to package previously released material as compilations. Confide in Me was released by BMG, along with her other compilation albums Hits+ (2000), Greatest Hits 87–97 (2002), Greatest Hits: 87–99 (2002) and Artist Collection (2004).
Though Hits+ charted in the UK and Greatest Hits in the UK, Ireland and Japan, ultimately, none of the compilations achieved high success.
The album’s cover art is simply a screenshot from the music video for "Breathe," despite the song not being included on the album. The image features inset pictures, forming the shape of her body, taken during her years at DeConstruction.

Confide in Me received mixed reviews from music critics. Allmusic picked "Some Kind of Bliss," "Time Will Pass You By," and "Confide in Me" as album highlights. Critics commended the album for its DeConstruction tracks but felt it received no success because it was too similar to Hits+. A review from CD Universe explained, "Fans of those albums should consider checking out Confide in Me; while it doesn't feature the previously unreleased tracks that Hits+ does, it does provide a more in-depth look at her two transitional albums."
The album did not chart on any notable charts. However, the album was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 60,000 copies.
Chart performance[]
Commercially, the album was a failure, not reaching any important charts and receiving mixed reviews from music critics. While critics praised the album’s content, they lost interest in the project as the album was too similar to her previous compilation album Hits+, which too featured only songs from Kylie's DeConstruction years.
