Social media led to Kylie Minogue’s new duet with disco legend Gloria Gaynor.
The pair have teamed up on Can’t Stop Writing Songs About You, lifted from the repackaged ‘Guest List Edition’ of Kylie’s record-breaking 2020 album ‘DISCO’.
It features duets with Years & Years, Jessie Ware and the I Am What I Am hitmaker – the latter of which came about after the music icon shared the love with Kylie online.
“I released ‘DISCO’ last year, (Gloria) commented on my socials and said: ‘I love what you are doing. Thanks for keeping disco alive’,” recalls Kylie.
“I nearly fell off my chair. I was like, ‘Gloria Gaynor?’. I first heard her in the late ’70s the first time I discovered music with my own ears. On the ‘DISCO’ album we do reference I Will Survive.
“As and when we can perform the song live, I start the song and then Gloria Gaynor bursts through,” she says, reported the Daily Star‘s Wired column. “That voice is so amazing.”
Kylie can’t wait to hit the road and perform her new bunch of tracks live, admitting: “Touring is all I want to do.
“I am dying to go on tour, I really am. I miss my team, I miss all of it,” she says. “I think it is so cosmic that you have a room full of people who know your music and want to be there.
“We are connected in our lives somewhere and there we are in the cosmic moment together.”
‘DISCO: Guest List Edition’ is available as a 3CD, 1 DVD, 1 BLU-RAY set, along with 2CD and 3LP editions. Also on offer is a 2LP coloured vinyl of ‘DISCO’ featuring 12 extended mixes.
