Kylie Minogue’s spirited greetings can enliven a seemingly demanding day. The Australian singer is best remembered to Bollywood aficionados as the artiste who grooved with Akshay Kumar to the track, Chiggy wiggy, over a decade ago in the film, Blue. On international turf, the Grammy Award, Brit Award and ARIA Music Award-winner has been among the most powerful forces of the pop music industry since the ’90s. Connecting with mid-day over a video conferencing app, Minogue discusses her recent project, Disco: Guest List Edition, in which she imbues renewed vitality into revered tracks of the 2020 original album. Backed by a power-packed ‘Guest List’, Minogue says the varied collaborators were seamlessly integrated into the tracks. “I have worked with Dua Lipa in the past, so this association was only [par for the course]. I had loved Jessie Ware’s album, What’s Your Pleasure. It was inspired by disco. When I participated in her podcast, we spoke of working together. Olly Alexander and I had sung [at a] Christmas show before, and he joined me on this list. Gloria Gaynor is a beacon of disco. I ended up with four incredible artiste, all of whom belonged to different areas.”
Despite a three-decade-long career in the music industry, Minogue isn’t particularly set in her ways. She allows herself to be influenced by producers, writers, and new-age artistes who are establishing trends and redefining sounds. It is possibly owing to this tendency that she continues to “stay current”. “I have enjoyed trying to stay current, and be aware of the goings-on in the industry. I allow it to rub off on me. Many of these producers and writers share the room with other artistes. I love the new sounds that are [being made] today.”
