Kylie Ann Minogue (/mɪˈnoʊɡ/; born 28 May 1968), also known mononymously as Kylie,
is an Australian singer and actress. Minogue is the highest-selling female
Australian artist of all time, having sold over 80million records worldwide.
She has been recognised for reinventing herself in music and fashion, for which
she is referred to by the European press as the "Princess
of Pop" and a style icon. Her accolades include a Grammy Award,
three Brit Awards and 17 ARIA Music Awards.
Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue
first achieved recognition starring in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing
tomboy mechanic Charlene Robinson. She
gained prominence as a recording artist in the late 1980s and released four
bubblegum and dance-pop-influenced studio albums produced by Stock Aitken
Waterman. By the early 1990s, she had amassed several top ten
singles in the UK and Australia, including "I Should Be So Lucky", "The
Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart", and "Better the Devil You Know". Taking
more creative control over her music, Minogue signed with Deconstruction
Records in 1993 and released Kylie Minogue(1994)
and Impossible
Princess(1997), both of which received positive
reviews. She returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with 2000's Light Years,
including the number-one hits "Spinning Around"
and "On a Night
Like This". The follow-up, Fever(2001),
was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album
to date. Two of its
singles, "Love at First Sight"
and "In Your Eyes", became
hits, but its lead single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" became
one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million
units.
Minogue
continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her
subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the
Lovers", "Santa Baby", "Timebomb" and "Dancing". With her
2020 album Disco,
she became the first female artist to have a chart-topping album in the UK for
five consecutive decades. Minogue made her film debut in The
Delinquents(1989) and portrayed Cammy in Street
Fighter(1994). She has also appeared in the films Moulin Rouge!(2001), Jack &
Diane, Holy Motors (2012) and San Andreas (2015). In 2014, she appeared as a judge on the third series
of The Voice UK and The Voice
Australia. Her other ventures include product endorsements,
children's books, fashion, and charitable work.
"Love at First Sight" is a song by
Australian singer Kylie Minogue from her eighth studio album Fever(2001).
It was written by Minogue, Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher, Ash
Howes and Martin Harrington, and
produced by Stannard and Gallagher. It is unrelated to the song "Love at
First Sight" from Minogue's debut studio álbum Kylie(1988).
"Love at First Sight" is a dance-pop and nu-disco song which,
lyrically, describes the singer falling and believing in love at first
sight. It was released as the third, and second in
North America, single from Fever on 3
June 2002.
"Love at First Sight" received
generally positive reviews from music critics;
majority of the critics commended the song's commercial appeal and composition.
Minor criticism was towards the production similarities of Minogue's previous
singles from Fever. "Love
at First Sight" was a commercial success worldwide. In
her native Australia, it peaked at number three on the ARIA Singles Chart,
and in the United Kingdom, it debuted and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. It also charted within the
top-ten in countries including Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Spain and New Zealand.
In the United States, it peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Dance Club Songs chart.
The accompanying music video for
"Love at First Sight" was directed by Johan Renck and
features Minogue and her backup dancers in a futuristic maze, all shot in single take motion. "Love at First Sight" was first performed on her KylieFever2002 tour and has featured on all her tours with the
exception of the Anti Tour(2012).
The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording during the 2003 ceremony,
becoming Minogue's first Grammy nomination.
Thought that I was going crazy
Just havin' one those days, yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out to fill up the sky
The music you were playin' really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
I was tired of running out of luck
Thinkin' 'bout giving up, yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out to fill up the sky
The music you were playin' really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby when I heard you
(When I heard)
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
(To be as one)
'Cause baby when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
Everythin' went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
(Up the sky)
The music you were playin' really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
(Love)
Love at first sight
Love at first sight
Love
Ooh, it was love, it was love at first sight
'Cause baby when I heard you
(When I heard)
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
(To be as one)
'Cause baby when I heard you
(When I heard)
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
It was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
Oohh, it was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
Oohh, it was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
