Kylie Ann Minogue AO (/mɪˈnoʊɡ/; born 28 May 1968), sometimes
known mononymously as Kylie,
is an Australian singer, songwriter and actress who holds both Australian and
British citizenship. She is the highest-selling female Australian artist of all
time, having sold over 80 million 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.
Aphrodite is the eleventh studio album by
Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was
released on 30 June 2010 by Parlophone. In
2009, Minogue began working with British electronic music producer Stuart Price,
who served as the executive producer of the album. The two collaborated with various producers and
writers on the album, including Jake Shears,
Calvin Harris, Sebastian Ingrosso and Pascal Gabriel. Aphrodite
follows a musical approach similar to Minogue's previous albums and is
primarily a dance-pop and disco-pop record. It
draws influences from various dance-based genres including electropop, club and rave music.
Aphrodite received generally positive reviews
from music critics, many of
whom complimented it as a return to form for Minogue, however, some critics
were divided on its production. In Australia, Aphrodite peaked at number two on
the Australian
Albums Chart, and was certified platinum by
the Australian Recording Industry Association(ARIA).
In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, earning
Minogue the Guinness
World Record for achieving the most consecutive
decades with top five albums in the country. Additionally, it reached the top
five in Belgium, Canada, France, Greece, Spain, and, Switzerland, among others.
Four singles were released from Aphrodite. The lead single, "All the
Lovers", peaked at number three in the United Kingdom and
reached the top 10 in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Subsequent
singles "Get Outta My Way", "Better than
Today", and "Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love)"
generally underperformed on the charts, causing Minogue to express
disappointment in her label. In the United States, all four
singles released from the album peaked atop the Billboard Hot Dance
Club Songs chart. To further promote the album,
Minogue
Oh, I see what you do
But I can do it better
And the talk of the town (?)
That I'll make you forget her
How can you hate
something that you ain't ever tried?
You've got to lose control 'most every night
Yeah, you see what they do
But we can do it better; yeah, I'm talking to you
You've got to feel
it, see it, know how much you need it
What's the point in living if you don't take a chance?
You've got to use it, lose it, know the chance to do it
What's the point in living if you don't wanna dance?
Oh, I know life is
hard
So we live it for the weekend
You can hurt or take heart
I guess it really depends
What's the point in
worrying about being cool
When there's a million things to learn they never teach you in school?
Oh, don't believe what they say
We just want tomorrow to be better than today
You've got to feel
it, see it, know how much you need it
What's the point in living if you don't take a chance?
You've got to use it, lose it, know the chance to do it
What's the point in living if you don't wanna dance?
You've got to feel
it, see it, know how much you need it
What's the point in living if you don't take a chance?
You've got to use it, lose it, know the chance to do it
What's the point in living if you don't wanna dance?
Fabrications
complicate the world in a web
Too much useless information plays with your head
Very clever people know we all need a chance
To stop our clever business and let go and dance
You've got to use it,
lose it, know the chance to do it
What's the point in living if you don't wanna dance?
You've got to feel it, see it, know how much you need it
What's the point in living if you don't take a chance?
You've got to use it, lose it, know the chance to do it
What's the point in living if you don't wanna dance?
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
everybody, everybody, wanna dance now?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, everybody, everybody, wanna dance now?
