Kylie Minogue gave us the news we all wanted to hear – KM15 is a return to “pure pop fun”.
The pop icon has been hard at work on her new album in lockdown, and she told GQ she’s settled on a “grown-up disco” sound for the LP.
“(It’s) difficult even for me to explain,” she said. “But even grown-ups need some pure pop fun.”
Reflecting on the resurgence of the disco, Kylie commented: “It’s all cyclical, right? I loved disco as an eight-year-old, so it’s been a long love affair.
“I’m loving the modern interpretations of the genre now,” she said, before revealing her new sound also has an early-’00s influence.
“There’s a lot of early 2000s love around at the moment. Both feel like good times for me, so I’m channelling that into this record.”
Kylie’s label boss Alistair Norbury recently revealed she’s been getting very hands-on with new music, telling Music Week: “Kylie Minogue is learning to use (music software) Logic.
“She’s got herself a home studio and decided that, if there’s one thing she can do during this time, it’s to learn to engineer and record her own vocals.
“So with some Zoom lessons and plenty of input from (BMG VP, A&R) Jamie Nelson, Kylie’s learning to get herself to a place where she can be creative during this time.”
