Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, I embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Today I'm sitting down with the one, the only, the
legendary Kylie Minogue. She is a true multi award winning
pop legend, selling more than eighty million records worldwide. She
is one of the most successful dance artists of all
time and the only female artist to reach the top
spot of the UK album charts in five consecutive decades.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hi, Kylie, Hi, thank you for that. It's weird hearing
all of that back.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I mean, you know, day to day life isn't exactly that,
but it does. That has happened, so I'm very proud
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, I'm so happy that you're here with me today.
You're such an icon, and in fact, you will soon
receive the Icon Award at the twenty twenty four Billboard
Women and Music Awards. Are you excited for that?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I am super excited about that because it's celebrating women
and I'm just I'm really looking forward to just being
in the room. I you know, we will have all
walked to different paths to get to where we are,
but right or rightly or wrongly, I always feel that
(01:17):
there's there is something that unites us all we might
not speak about it. We might not I might not
get to know in a lot of detail what the
other artists experiences, but for sure I feel less alone.
I feel that it will be a really supportive night,
a night of inspiration, and frankly, I mean looking at
(01:41):
it there, it's it's unreal. I'm very proud. I'm very
excited and very humbled.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I can't wait. I'm going to be there as well
be presenting, So I'm going to be there to celebrate
with you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Fantastic.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's going to be incredible. I love and other women
can come together and support each other and lot each
other up. Especially just going through the two thousands, it
was so different and it's just amazing now just to
see how things have changed so much.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah. Absolutely, we've gone through very different areas for different
stages in you know, you, in your personal development and
in what's acceptable, what's not, what you can and can't do,
and what you've had to what one has had to navigate. Yeah,
(02:28):
it's interesting. I think we're in a pretty good place
right now. And yeah, I'm really looking forward to celebrating everyone.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Me too. So you're also nominated for the highly coveted
International Artists of the Year Awards at the Britter Words.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yes, yeah, it's it's all good. It's very it's been
a good year for me and things like Billboard, like Brits.
I've been doing this for a long and af now
that I'm so conscious that this is a moment and
(03:03):
to really dive in and celebrate the moment. I know
what it's taken from me to get to this point,
or to every different point starting out as a nineteen
year old and through every different decade of life and
my career. But I'm very aware that it's a moment
(03:23):
to celebrate. It can be very busy reaching these moments,
and you know, the cycle's going and it's like you're
on spin cycle. There's no time to actually absorb and
breathe it in. And I feel like, although I am
like busier than ever, there's a shift in my brain
to just actively recognize, Wow, this really is a moment
(03:46):
at this stage of my career and my life to
be having this, it's it's great, it's amazing, it's iconic.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, my mom always says that she's just like sometimes
you just have to lay back and smell the roses. Yeah,
because you're so fast and you don't really get to
enjoy those special moments. So it's good to let it
soak in because I know, it's just like you're just
moving every second. There's something happening, something so exciting. But
(04:17):
it's good just to like really just appreciate.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Those moments, to recognize it. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So we wanted to celebrate the icon that you are
today by taking a trip down memory lane.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So my team and I chose a few of your
many iconic moments that help make you the icon that
you are today.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I think I just stopped breathing a little bit, and
so I was like, Okay, what's it gonna be? All right,
let's dis cover.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So I'm going to show you a short clip and
then ask you to tell everyone what memories come flooding back? Okay,
So first we're gonna show you a clip from one
of your many iconic music videos. Like I'm saying iconic
a thousand times because you're so iconic, and this one
is from ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yes, oh that is so much fun.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So we just watched the music video for did It Again?
What memories does this video bring up for you? So?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well? Year was that ninety seven seven. So this is
pre people pre there's an app for everything, and so
it took a long time getting the four Kylies lined up,
and there was whoever, if there was, if I was
(05:37):
interacting with myself, it was a very patient girl in
the full chroma key blue outfit. It was really fun
piecing that together and playing with different Kylie's, which was
taken from what the press was saying in the time,
just kind of putting you in different boxes, which is
(05:58):
kind of amazing on the one hand, a bit limiting
on the other hand, but it was happening, so we
went for it. It was a fun video. I've got
some amazing behind scenes footage of that shoot.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
How long did it take to shoot?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I think we did two days? Yeah, yeah, I mean
I was literally like a stump person. I was throwing myself,
you know, taking the Knox, throwing myself on the floor.
It was an energetic couple of days. So I'm glad
to have those memories. I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's so fun. The video shows different versions of yourself
Sexy Kylie, cute Kylie, Indie, Kylie, dance Kylie. If you
remade this today, what versions of Kylie would you put
in there.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh that's a really good question. Comfy, Kylie, for sure,
because you know as soon as I get in the door,
it's Burk's crocs tracks sweatpants, So be comfy.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
We could be iconic, Kylie. I don't know which one,
but yeah, loves that. I'm just putting in like bits
of like behind the scenes clown Kylie, because I am
normally the biggest card in the room, and the fourth
could be I didn't know the fourth one. Have you
(07:24):
got any ideas? Yeah, Kylie, thank you? Points for Bruce
Vegas Kylie. Yeah, yes, Okay, someone's going to put that
video together. I don't know how all those worlds would meet.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Are you having so much fun at your Bigges's residency.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
It's so much fun, and it's kind of getting more fun.
It's like it's it's powering itself. And because when we started,
I mean we my team and I knew with this
the size, the venue, the feel of the venue, what
it looked like. I mean it was literally still being
(08:03):
made right before opening night, that it would be kind
of studio fifty four meets a thirties or a seventies club.
And I was leaning towards my fans probably being a
bit more Studio fifty four and it has transpired that. Yeah,
(08:24):
it's just it's so it's really intense. It's really condensed.
You get all the hits, you get a ton of me.
I'm in the eye of the storm made people are
as closer than you and I for a lot of
it when you're down that central cat walking to the
B stage. So it's intimate, it's fun, it's electric. I
(08:48):
am having a blast. It's but it's intense. I mean,
I don't think i've ever I you would think it's
a smaller venue, it would require less energy, but no,
she throws herself at it. By someday I'm a rack.
I need two days to kind of become good. But yeah,
I'm loving it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I can't wait to them all my friends have one.
The best time.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You have to, like, you just have to, you have
to come.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
What is it happening until to me? Oh, perfect, there's.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Only eight more shows people.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, everyone go to Vegas to see the Queen. And
it's at the Venetian Hotel at Voltaire.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yes, so the club's called Voltaire, which is in the
Venetian in the Venetian Resort. It's beautiful. You step into
the venue and before the show's even started, you're you're
wowed by this place. And there's an amazing show that's
on before the headliner, whoever that may be, called Bell Denui,
which is French cabaret. Incredible performers where you're just going
(09:50):
you watching them and just thinking I really ought to
do a stretch or at least one sit up, like
who are you? People? Is beautiful performers. So it's really
it's a whole night.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, I'm planning a Vegas trips in Yeah, girls.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I'm not walking. I'm not leaving your house Paris until
we've locked down the date that you're coming.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I'm one hundred percent coming. I can't miss this.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Okay, So Vegas plastic sound levels Okay, okay, so sorry listeners.
I have a very kind of nineties inspired plastic overlay.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm enjoying. I just I'm conscious of the sound.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
It's very like futuristic vibes. Yeah, but then you're like, we've.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Got soft edges.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yes, we love it. So speaking of Indie Kylie. Next,
we're going back to July nineteen ninety six, to the
moment when according to the British press Indie Kylie the
Enemy Star was born. Let's watch Okay, this was the
(10:58):
moment where you surprised everyone by showing up at a
poetry Olympics event at the Royal Albert Hall. What feelings
came up as you watch this?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I can't believe you brought that clip up. That's a
real deep dive and I have so much to say
about that. Firstly, okay, so Nick Cave asked me to
do that, and at the time, in the nineties, you know,
it was very kind of like postmodern irony, a lot
(11:28):
of that around, and the fact that Nick Cave and
I had worked together with true love and heart, it
kind of it made it real to me. I didn't
feel like I was there for the gag kind of thing.
So I just Nick Cave could probably ask me to
(11:50):
do anything and I just go yes, yes, because you're
so amazing. But with that, I literally tried everything to
get out of it. So I wasn't sure how that
would land at the Royal Albert Hall. You've got the
kind of literary world there. How does that work? I mean,
it makes sense now, but dialing back to the time
(12:13):
I tried to get out of it and I couldn't,
and so I literally rocked up from my house which
is just a few blocks away, in my track pads
that no bra all my hair in the little bunches
because I just hacked it off. I don't know, a
year before and I was in the growing out phase.
You can see I'm not prepared, nor is the camera.
(12:35):
No one's prepared. And when I went out and started
the first line and you can hear that audience reaction,
I just I knew that it was going to work,
and I thought that, well, thank God, you know we're
going to be okay. And beyond that, the moment was
really important because I felt like I've been trying to
(13:00):
run away from my past, my you know, bubblegum pop star,
and in that moment, thanks to Nick, it was like,
there's you know, Indie Me coming face to face with
baby me and actually going Okay, I can run, but
(13:21):
I can't. You're always going to be with me. So
it was was that moment that I embraced her back
so on a kind of personal fulfillment level, it was.
It was quite deep.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So thanks Nick, thanks for not letting me say no.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Do you ever get nervous just going up on stage.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh yeah, I mean I yes, that was more nervous
about the unknown for performance. I get nervous about everything.
I'm excited about everything. But is that right? Is that right?
Is that going to work the right time? Have they
done that? It's a costume? Blah blah blah blah. How
am I feeling? How's my voice? There's there's a whole Okay,
(14:06):
it's good to time, absolutely, And then you know, I
did have a realization in the last few years where
you know, when you're performing a lot and you're on tour,
and a lot of it is about how do you
how do you keep your how do you stay consistent
(14:27):
and keep yourself well? And I used to think, I
think when I was less experienced, So I've got more
experience to draw on now and more kind of technical
ability if you're a bit unwell. But I used to think, oh,
that's the hardest two two and a half hours of
the days on stage. And then something flipped and I thought, yes,
(14:49):
it's physically demanding and you're on but in a way
it's it's the easiest part of the day because the
rest of the let's say, the other twenty two hours
or twenty one and a half hours. You're thinking about
what if, what went wrong? What could I do? What
will I do? What's going There's all the if spots
and maybes. But when you're on, happens. It just happens,
(15:12):
and you can't make perfection happen. But in that moment,
you're so on that you deal with it. In a
split second, you deal with it. And so see how
it kind of flipped. It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, I always get so nervous I'm about to do
anything on stage.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I get probably most nervous about speaking. So you're doing
a great job right now.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yes, Now we're going to jump to two thousand and
two and one of your many legendary live performances. This
was your incredible mash of performance of Can't Get You
out of My Head and New Orders Blue Monday at
the Britter Words. It was so iconic. That's hot.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That is hot. I mean, health and safety. Where are you?
I have no idea how that was. Literally I'm hanging
onto like nothing, but that was that's like, that is
definitely a highlight.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh, I'll never forget that entrance. I was like, wow,
so sad.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
It really was Those boots are everything, the boots and
dances and choreography. I think I learned the choreography the
day before on stage at rehearsals, but I was working
pretty intensely with his fantastic choreographer Bonicella, Rafael Bonicella, and
(16:40):
I just love what he did. I love what William
Baker did with all the creative direction. And you know CDs,
he lets ejector from the CD player.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Sure yes, So then I love that song so much.
I was just having a concert during Pride in New
York and I played this mashup of Can't Get You
out of My Head with Padam and people just like
lose it.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Love it so much. But Blue Monday will be cool
no matter what you do to it. But it just
happened to be a perfect, a perfect match to go
with Can't get So we call that can't get Blue
Monday out of My Head? And I will never get
that out of my head because there's there's some uh
(17:30):
to have everything, every aspect of a performance marry up
and become greater than the sum of its parts. That's
it's quite rare, and somehow we did it there, So
I should just have that on repeat in my house,
like in every room, just to go did that when
I'm feeling a bit in need of a pep up.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, hopefully all these memories we'll make you.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
These are good. I'm enjoying them. They're pretty random, which
is good.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yes, So you are so loved by so many people,
and that includes other icons. Let's take a look. So
we just saw a clip of Madonna paying tribute to
you by performing a music and a T shirt with
your name and blazoned on it. What was your initial
reaction to this love for Madonna? Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Faint worthy, jaw dropping, you know, go back to fourteen
year old me prancing around my bedroom just wishing I
could be Madonna. And yeah, there's there's quite a few
moments now where I still am absolutely pumped that some people.
(18:48):
I'm like, they know that I exist on this planet,
not you know, before them being a fan or anything.
It's like they know that I exist. So that's probably
one of those moments.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I think everyone knows that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm trying to make it so I'm working hard.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But yeah, in twenty nighteen, you performed one of the
biggest festival crowds in the world. Here's the clip.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
You could have given me a heart attack. On this
I Am Paris podcast, so many epic moments like heart
stopping moments. Yeah, Glastonbury twenty nineteen, I performed in the
Legend slot, which is the Sunday afternoon and talking about
(19:34):
nerves before, you can't even imagine. I couldn't even say
the word Glastonbury in the West coming up leading up
to the show, I just called it the short show
because I had seventy five minutes. The other shows we
were doing around that ninety normal tours even more than that,
but for festival shows, this particular one, I just was
(20:01):
so nervous, so nervous, and it all worked out okay,
which is amazing. I was super emotional as well, because
I was supposed to headline in two thousand and five,
and that's the same year I have my breast cancer diagnosis,
so I was, you know, in a whole other other world.
(20:25):
But I remember watching Glastonbury that year and Coldplay dedicated
a song to me, and I just, you know, I
was so far away on every level. I felt removed
from the world, removed from my body, removed from that
kind of moment. So to have the opportunity in twenty nineteen. Yeah,
(20:49):
I was like, acknowledge, stop yourself before you go to
the ugly cry, because how do you get back from
that and keeps, you know, and seeing. So it was
everything was everything for me and how to represent my
catalog And now it's crazy to think then that's pre
(21:10):
for them. So maybe I'll have another opportunity one time.
But Glasson Reson it's hard to compute. And when people
ask me about it, I say, Okay, if you're on stage,
because they've got those great viewing platforms, that's such a
limited number. So if you managed to get on there, great,
(21:32):
But just being on the side. I know when I've
watched other people perform there and just being it's not
your show, it's not your panic, it's not your moment,
But just being here, trying to take in the breadth
of that audience and that the intensity of them is
kind of impossible. So when I'm trying to express how
I felt in that moment, so I just can't because
(21:56):
take that and multiply it, multiply and it's it's it's me.
There's in one view of your your I view. You
can't there's no way you can take all of it.
There's just so many.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
People that video it looks like and I've never been
to that festival. It's like one of the only music
festivals I haven't been to. Yeah, I want to go
so bad.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Right, So you're doing Vegas is here and then you're
going to do Glass and Breathe at your earliest opportunity.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's nothing else like it, and everyone has Paris schedule.
You are pulling it up and you just everyone wears
those like boots because it's like muddy.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
There's a lot of Wellington's, there's a lot of kind
of Kate Moss in Spo Still and forever More. Uh, yeah,
it didn't. It was very good weather that weekend. I
lucked out.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Okay, I'm going to do that this year.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Now we want to get to know the woman behind
the icon. I created the words as a combination of
slang and living your best life. A person who is
living is when they're glamorously successful, self empowered, and fulfilled
and they're killing it all on their own, loving every
minute of it and looking good while doing it. I
want to ask you questions about how you're living your
(23:16):
best life right now. So music is my life. It
really saved me, why is music so important to you?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Music is a life force. It calms us, it elevates us.
It can talk to emotions that you want to feel
or you need to feel. And I've just always loved
music from when I was like three or four, but
I was sent off to probably just to get me
(23:47):
out of the house. My mom had three little kids.
But yeah, to like music and kind of rhythm class
and learn different instruments as a kid, and fell in
love with like pop music when I was like eight nine,
Grease era, Abba, Donna's Summer, anything and everything that was
(24:12):
around then, and then in my early teens Madonna, Wheatney,
Cindy Turan, durand Adam and the House again, on and
on and on. So I've just always loved music, And
as a teenager, I I thought it was I thought
every kid had the same kind of daytime fantasy. Everyone
(24:32):
loved pop music. Turns out they don't. Some people love
sports or science or whatever. But yeah, I would imagine
being one of my idols or having anything to do
with that kind of I probably didn't think of it
as a job. It was just it was just something.
(24:54):
It was a feeling, and my journey into music and
then my then my discovery of all the different layers
of it up until now has been incredible. And I
love like my passion for a song and what's in
(25:15):
a song is greater than ever. It's I just I
understand it more. I know what goes into it and
trying to find those nuggets of gold and a song
that means a lot to you and can become a
hit song. Anyone you have here chatting about it will say,
(25:38):
you know, it seems easy when you managed to do it,
but getting to that point is not easy. But I
am really enjoying the work that goes into that. Yeah,
I've kind of fallen in love with it in a
whole different way. And I think some of that is
came from lockdown, Yeah, and learning self record, and now
(26:01):
I just I pretty much self record everything, which has
added a whole new dimension to to my work.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It's so fun.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I have the label saying, yeah, there's a studio, shall
we set up a studio. I'm like, no, thanks, I'll
get the you'll have them this afternoon, I'll do them.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
It's great. It's so such a so liberating.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
What is your go to getting a ready song for
a big night out. Oh, but I mean.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I could predamn anytime a day. I suppose.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Do you listen to your own music A lot?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I listen to a lot of demos, like a lot.
I was playing a few this morning, just because it's
in my head. Their works w ips, but I don't know. Weirdly,
I don't listen too much. Once it's done, I that
(27:01):
the next stage would be performing them and in Vegas
to have four songs from from the current album Tension
in that shows that's That's the next level of the
three is how does it? How much joy I get
performing it, and how much the audience elevates it. And
(27:21):
you can only imagine that. That's why I'm listening to
demos getting ready or in different environments, just to hear it,
almost trying to hear it a step removed. I digress.
What does music mean to me? It means the world
to me.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
That's your world. And do you like to cook?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I can safely say I don't think any of my
family or friends would in any of my definitions cooks not.
It's it's really low. On the occasions when I do cook,
I I enjoy it. It's just not my my brother
and sister are great cooks. There's the pantry, the ingredients
(28:06):
of fridge, and they'll it'll happen, whereas I expect some
Steven Spielberg special effect like things just happen. Of course
nothing happens, so I we'll a delivery.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
What is your favorite way to spud time with Danny?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Your sister she cooks and I hate yea we well,
she her son is thirteen, and we just love all
hanging out together. My brother has two boys who are
slightly older teenagers, so you know, we love to just
do movie night hang out. I love them so much.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
My sister and I will also again going to like
the comfy zone with as you have you spend pretty
much your entire life. It's back getting ready and glam
and so we like to break that down a sap
and yeah, we'll be doing very ordinary things for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
But yeah, same with my sister and I chilling in
the tracks it sucks. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Or my mom's vegetable garden getting some you know, doing
some planting. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm like, Mom,
what are I doing here? Is this a weird what?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
So?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Just normal homie stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, and what is your favorite way to enjoy your
incredible Kylie Minogue Prosecco rose.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh, anytime, anytime. But I also have a fantastic non
alcoholic which is might been my go to in Vegas
because it's too much going on.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
It's prosecco, It's.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
A non acoholic sparkling rose.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I try.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, well, wind come to Vegas driving that home. I
will furnish you with whatever sparkling beverage or drink you like.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I'll try the Kylie Mino. You have to.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I'm banning them from delivering anything else. You da loves it.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
What Kylie fragrance would you recommend for a first date?
Darling or disco Darling?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Ooh, first date, I might go that's oh, I'm in
two my this is the German. Being a Gemini is
no good for interviews because I'm looking. I'm going Darling's
gonna light and lovely, and disco is a bit more depends.
Why is it a daytime date or a nighttime date?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Night?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Probably disco Darling, but I am working on a new
one I like it, or more than one new one.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Nice. Yeah, I can't wait to check those out too.
Y two K is so hard right now, what look
would you bring back and reinvent from the two thousands.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I would easily bring I mean I think they're back anyway,
the cargo pant I would bring back my love at
First Sight video look, which was kind of cream cargo pants,
banana yellow, still at ours, a white tank or some branding,
(31:24):
some branding, jewelry and just feeling strong, grounded and kind
of hot at the same time. Yeah, I would go
back there. I don't know if I'd have the same effect,
but we can try.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
We need to recreate that shot. So to wrap up
our time together. I have some rapid fire questions submitted
by my fans on discord. Do you sing in the shower?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I more than singing in the shower, I would do
warm ups in the shower, which isn't quite a sex Yeah,
it's good steaming be in there. Yeah, less singing, more
just burbling and ming and making you know, the worst
(32:26):
no vocal exercises. It's pretty or sounds pretty.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
It's humiliating to do it.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah, so best to just close that door, close the
other door, and then do it.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Oh my god, don't know some of those exercises. You're like,
what am I saying right now, yeah, feel crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Don't judge. Just during my vocal warm up, what's.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Your go to karaoke song?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I would probably really do a terrible job. I want
to dance to somebody. It's like that, that's very bad decision.
Whitney song. But I could easily hit play on that
song again, no judgment, thanks in advance.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Have you ever googled yourself?
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah? I almost googled myself coming in here because I
didn't have my ID. I didn't know I had to
bring idea I don't have. Just arrived looking fabulous, that's
all I've got. I was suddenly going I got a
picture of my I could google myself. But yes, of
course I have.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah, they're so strict at this git.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, but it involves a fair amount of bravery, I think,
to google yourself. Yeah, I've often not googled myself because
I just don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Been there favorite song to perform right now?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Oh gosh, hmm. That's gonna be able to choose one
because Vegas has been just getting better and better. I mean,
dam's a very obvious one. But I think hold on
to Now is the one that ah that I'm really enjoying.
(34:19):
I just think there's so much sentiment and heart and
uh yeah, I mean that did that that? I wrote
that one, So it's come from my subconscious and again
the audience just I can just see them letting loose.
Second part of the chorus, it just the beat kicks
(34:40):
in and we're away and it's like, I feel like
we're flying by the end of that song. Oh yeah,
I love that.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Did you ever record a demo for Toxic before I
went to Britney Spears?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I didn't. I mean, yeah, I remember that because Kathy Dennis,
who wrote Can't Get You Out of My Head, wrote Toxic,
and I remember my A and R saying this, So
I've got this other song toxic, other toxic song called Toxic,
I know, but I will say that I think it
was always destined to be Britney's song. I mean, she
(35:17):
it's I can't even imagine me doing it now. So
but you live and Learne, Yeah, I love listen. Don't
say no before it's before. It's just just I try
everything now. Actually, even songs that if it's a demo,
that I'm not even entirely sure of because I can
(35:38):
just set up my equipment and it's easy enough to
do it, and sometimes it will surprise me and it
will work out.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah, you're working on the new album.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
I'm working on other songs. Yeah. And it fills me
with so much joy and frustration and all the other
things that are part of writing or finding the song
or interpreting the song, getting the vocals right. But it's
(36:11):
an amazing puzzle. Yeah, the song is the puzzle. And
I like puzzles. There's crafting and then there's puzzles. Let's
do the crossword, let's do the word. Let's do that.
You know there's plenty more nerdy stuff in me. Well
did that on our day off?
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yes? Yeah, what kind of crafting do you l like?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
To dell? I'll do anything. I actually get a little
bit jealous. This is merging the worlds of trying to,
you know, make iconic moments. And the other side is
I remember actually from Fever two thousand and two, there
was so much to do, and I had probably made
(36:55):
myself ill beforehand, just with the workload and the worry
and the stress. And I'm going to get sick. You're sick,
and so my team were. You know, there's always a stitch.
There's a stitch. It's the rule. There's stuff to do
and amending costumes or putting finish, you know, building them
up for stage. And all I wanted to do was
(37:19):
just like give me a needle and thread, give me
a task. I know what the task is. I don't
know how to do it. Just take me out of
this like hell of worry that I was in. So yeah,
any I mean anything stitching, We could start with that.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Stitching.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Stitching. Yeah, I have to teach all these wardrobe people,
don't you know how to do and not like Titan's
Away because my grandma taught me to sew and knit
and cut patterns when I was fourteen fifteen. That was
like I'd go to the market with like, you know,
five bucks and come home with remnants, bits of leather,
(37:56):
just stuff. I remember my mom saying, oh, what are
you going to do with all that? I cut them
off because I was so well, I am so tiny.
But as a teenager I would buy I'd buy a
lot of old stuff. I don't know if you would
even call it vintage. But at the Sunday Sunday Market
(38:17):
that was near our house, in the shopping mall car park,
every Sunday. It's still on every Sunday. Yeah, and make
stuff so I know how to alter things because I
used to have to alter them myself. I still have
a sewing machine somewhere in my mouse.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
I always knew how to do that.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
It's so easy, it's really fun. Okay, I need to
teach me that we're going on camp beyond the day
we're going on on camp.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
What's your favorite comfort TV show? Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I really like google Box, which is a British shows
Google goggle, g O, g g L E and and
there's a British one an Australian one, and it's basically
cameras in various people's living rooms, so there'd be no
person and they're watching TV. So they're reacting to watching TV,
(39:16):
which you think that's who's going to watch that. I
watch it and millions of people watch it, and you
see yourself, so it's kind of it's like fractals in
on itself. You're reacting to the goggle Box reacting to
the TV. I think that's a good one because you
can kind of catch up on the TV through the
week as well. Okay, spoiler alert if you're waiting to
(39:37):
see something and you don't want to know what happens
in the finale of that you know that series? Yeah,
don't watch goggle Box in that case.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Okay, what else?
Speaker 1 (39:47):
What's your what's your guilty Pleasure TV?
Speaker 2 (39:50):
I love the Simple Life?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yes, on top of the Simple Life, full full stop.
She's like, that's it.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Mm hmmm, it's all I watch.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, but what I love that?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I love cartoons. I have a family guy.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yes, I agree.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
It's so funny. Do people still come up and ask
you to do the locomotion with them?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
No, they don't. No one's ever asked yet, well not
in recent memory. I asked them in Vegas and like,
who wants to do the locomotion and try and get
people going? No, it's probably more. It's more that one.
And now it's it's for them for the tik taks.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, yes, what is your most memorable career experience so far?
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Paris?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
That's impossible.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
I mean, Glastonbury's got to be up there for a
kind of sensory overloader. Yeah, and an I can't repeat that.
I mean, I'm my job in a different my jo
in a different way. But that was definitely a peak.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Thank you, Kylie so much for coming on I in Paris,
and to all my listeners. If you haven't seen her
residency in Las Vegas, go buy your tickets right now.
There's only eight shows left. She's so amazing and I
can't wait to see what she does next. Yes, Paris, Yeah,
thank you so fun.
Speaker 1 (41:29):

Wow, I embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Today I'm sitting down with the one, the only, the
legendary Kylie Minogue. She is a true multi award winning
pop legend, selling more than eighty million records worldwide. She
is one of the most successful dance artists of all
time and the only female artist to reach the top
spot of the UK album charts in five consecutive decades.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hi, Kylie, Hi, thank you for that. It's weird hearing
all of that back.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I mean, you know, day to day life isn't exactly that,
but it does. That has happened, so I'm very proud
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, I'm so happy that you're here with me today.
You're such an icon, and in fact, you will soon
receive the Icon Award at the twenty twenty four Billboard
Women and Music Awards. Are you excited for that?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I am super excited about that because it's celebrating women
and I'm just I'm really looking forward to just being
in the room. I you know, we will have all
walked to different paths to get to where we are,
but right or rightly or wrongly, I always feel that
(01:17):
there's there is something that unites us all we might
not speak about it. We might not I might not
get to know in a lot of detail what the
other artists experiences, but for sure I feel less alone.
I feel that it will be a really supportive night,
a night of inspiration, and frankly, I mean looking at
(01:41):
it there, it's it's unreal. I'm very proud. I'm very
excited and very humbled.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I can't wait. I'm going to be there as well
be presenting, So I'm going to be there to celebrate
with you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Fantastic.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's going to be incredible. I love and other women
can come together and support each other and lot each
other up. Especially just going through the two thousands, it
was so different and it's just amazing now just to
see how things have changed so much.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah. Absolutely, we've gone through very different areas for different
stages in you know, you, in your personal development and
in what's acceptable, what's not, what you can and can't do,
and what you've had to what one has had to navigate. Yeah,
(02:28):
it's interesting. I think we're in a pretty good place
right now. And yeah, I'm really looking forward to celebrating everyone.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Me too. So you're also nominated for the highly coveted
International Artists of the Year Awards at the Britter Words.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yes, yeah, it's it's all good. It's very it's been
a good year for me and things like Billboard, like Brits.
I've been doing this for a long and af now
that I'm so conscious that this is a moment and
(03:03):
to really dive in and celebrate the moment. I know
what it's taken from me to get to this point,
or to every different point starting out as a nineteen
year old and through every different decade of life and
my career. But I'm very aware that it's a moment
(03:23):
to celebrate. It can be very busy reaching these moments,
and you know, the cycle's going and it's like you're
on spin cycle. There's no time to actually absorb and
breathe it in. And I feel like, although I am
like busier than ever, there's a shift in my brain
to just actively recognize, Wow, this really is a moment
(03:46):
at this stage of my career and my life to
be having this, it's it's great, it's amazing, it's iconic.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, my mom always says that she's just like sometimes
you just have to lay back and smell the roses. Yeah,
because you're so fast and you don't really get to
enjoy those special moments. So it's good to let it
soak in because I know, it's just like you're just
moving every second. There's something happening, something so exciting. But
(04:17):
it's good just to like really just appreciate.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Those moments, to recognize it. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So we wanted to celebrate the icon that you are
today by taking a trip down memory lane.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So my team and I chose a few of your
many iconic moments that help make you the icon that
you are today.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I think I just stopped breathing a little bit, and
so I was like, Okay, what's it gonna be? All right,
let's dis cover.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So I'm going to show you a short clip and
then ask you to tell everyone what memories come flooding back? Okay,
So first we're gonna show you a clip from one
of your many iconic music videos. Like I'm saying iconic
a thousand times because you're so iconic, and this one
is from ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yes, oh that is so much fun.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So we just watched the music video for did It Again?
What memories does this video bring up for you? So?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well? Year was that ninety seven seven. So this is
pre people pre there's an app for everything, and so
it took a long time getting the four Kylies lined up,
and there was whoever, if there was, if I was
(05:37):
interacting with myself, it was a very patient girl in
the full chroma key blue outfit. It was really fun
piecing that together and playing with different Kylie's, which was
taken from what the press was saying in the time,
just kind of putting you in different boxes, which is
(05:58):
kind of amazing on the one hand, a bit limiting
on the other hand, but it was happening, so we
went for it. It was a fun video. I've got
some amazing behind scenes footage of that shoot.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
How long did it take to shoot?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I think we did two days? Yeah, yeah, I mean
I was literally like a stump person. I was throwing myself,
you know, taking the Knox, throwing myself on the floor.
It was an energetic couple of days. So I'm glad
to have those memories. I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's so fun. The video shows different versions of yourself
Sexy Kylie, cute Kylie, Indie, Kylie, dance Kylie. If you
remade this today, what versions of Kylie would you put
in there.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh that's a really good question. Comfy, Kylie, for sure,
because you know as soon as I get in the door,
it's Burk's crocs tracks sweatpants, So be comfy.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
We could be iconic, Kylie. I don't know which one,
but yeah, loves that. I'm just putting in like bits
of like behind the scenes clown Kylie, because I am
normally the biggest card in the room, and the fourth
could be I didn't know the fourth one. Have you
(07:24):
got any ideas? Yeah, Kylie, thank you? Points for Bruce
Vegas Kylie. Yeah, yes, Okay, someone's going to put that
video together. I don't know how all those worlds would meet.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Are you having so much fun at your Bigges's residency.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
It's so much fun, and it's kind of getting more fun.
It's like it's it's powering itself. And because when we started,
I mean we my team and I knew with this
the size, the venue, the feel of the venue, what
it looked like. I mean it was literally still being
(08:03):
made right before opening night, that it would be kind
of studio fifty four meets a thirties or a seventies club.
And I was leaning towards my fans probably being a
bit more Studio fifty four and it has transpired that. Yeah,
(08:24):
it's just it's so it's really intense. It's really condensed.
You get all the hits, you get a ton of me.
I'm in the eye of the storm made people are
as closer than you and I for a lot of
it when you're down that central cat walking to the
B stage. So it's intimate, it's fun, it's electric. I
(08:48):
am having a blast. It's but it's intense. I mean,
I don't think i've ever I you would think it's
a smaller venue, it would require less energy, but no,
she throws herself at it. By someday I'm a rack.
I need two days to kind of become good. But yeah,
I'm loving it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I can't wait to them all my friends have one.
The best time.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You have to, like, you just have to, you have
to come.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
What is it happening until to me? Oh, perfect, there's.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Only eight more shows people.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, everyone go to Vegas to see the Queen. And
it's at the Venetian Hotel at Voltaire.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yes, so the club's called Voltaire, which is in the
Venetian in the Venetian Resort. It's beautiful. You step into
the venue and before the show's even started, you're you're
wowed by this place. And there's an amazing show that's
on before the headliner, whoever that may be, called Bell Denui,
which is French cabaret. Incredible performers where you're just going
(09:50):
you watching them and just thinking I really ought to
do a stretch or at least one sit up, like
who are you? People? Is beautiful performers. So it's really
it's a whole night.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, I'm planning a Vegas trips in Yeah, girls.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I'm not walking. I'm not leaving your house Paris until
we've locked down the date that you're coming.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I'm one hundred percent coming. I can't miss this.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Okay, So Vegas plastic sound levels Okay, okay, so sorry listeners.
I have a very kind of nineties inspired plastic overlay.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm enjoying. I just I'm conscious of the sound.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
It's very like futuristic vibes. Yeah, but then you're like, we've.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Got soft edges.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yes, we love it. So speaking of Indie Kylie. Next,
we're going back to July nineteen ninety six, to the
moment when according to the British press Indie Kylie the
Enemy Star was born. Let's watch Okay, this was the
(10:58):
moment where you surprised everyone by showing up at a
poetry Olympics event at the Royal Albert Hall. What feelings
came up as you watch this?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I can't believe you brought that clip up. That's a
real deep dive and I have so much to say
about that. Firstly, okay, so Nick Cave asked me to
do that, and at the time, in the nineties, you know,
it was very kind of like postmodern irony, a lot
(11:28):
of that around, and the fact that Nick Cave and
I had worked together with true love and heart, it
kind of it made it real to me. I didn't
feel like I was there for the gag kind of thing.
So I just Nick Cave could probably ask me to
(11:50):
do anything and I just go yes, yes, because you're
so amazing. But with that, I literally tried everything to
get out of it. So I wasn't sure how that
would land at the Royal Albert Hall. You've got the
kind of literary world there. How does that work? I mean,
it makes sense now, but dialing back to the time
(12:13):
I tried to get out of it and I couldn't,
and so I literally rocked up from my house which
is just a few blocks away, in my track pads
that no bra all my hair in the little bunches
because I just hacked it off. I don't know, a
year before and I was in the growing out phase.
You can see I'm not prepared, nor is the camera.
(12:35):
No one's prepared. And when I went out and started
the first line and you can hear that audience reaction,
I just I knew that it was going to work,
and I thought that, well, thank God, you know we're
going to be okay. And beyond that, the moment was
really important because I felt like I've been trying to
(13:00):
run away from my past, my you know, bubblegum pop star,
and in that moment, thanks to Nick, it was like,
there's you know, Indie Me coming face to face with
baby me and actually going Okay, I can run, but
(13:21):
I can't. You're always going to be with me. So
it was was that moment that I embraced her back
so on a kind of personal fulfillment level, it was.
It was quite deep.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So thanks Nick, thanks for not letting me say no.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Do you ever get nervous just going up on stage.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh yeah, I mean I yes, that was more nervous
about the unknown for performance. I get nervous about everything.
I'm excited about everything. But is that right? Is that right?
Is that going to work the right time? Have they
done that? It's a costume? Blah blah blah blah. How
am I feeling? How's my voice? There's there's a whole Okay,
(14:06):
it's good to time, absolutely, And then you know, I
did have a realization in the last few years where
you know, when you're performing a lot and you're on tour,
and a lot of it is about how do you
how do you keep your how do you stay consistent
(14:27):
and keep yourself well? And I used to think, I
think when I was less experienced, So I've got more
experience to draw on now and more kind of technical
ability if you're a bit unwell. But I used to think, oh,
that's the hardest two two and a half hours of
the days on stage. And then something flipped and I thought, yes,
(14:49):
it's physically demanding and you're on but in a way
it's it's the easiest part of the day because the
rest of the let's say, the other twenty two hours
or twenty one and a half hours. You're thinking about
what if, what went wrong? What could I do? What
will I do? What's going There's all the if spots
and maybes. But when you're on, happens. It just happens,
(15:12):
and you can't make perfection happen. But in that moment,
you're so on that you deal with it. In a
split second, you deal with it. And so see how
it kind of flipped. It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, I always get so nervous I'm about to do
anything on stage.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I get probably most nervous about speaking. So you're doing
a great job right now.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yes, Now we're going to jump to two thousand and
two and one of your many legendary live performances. This
was your incredible mash of performance of Can't Get You
out of My Head and New Orders Blue Monday at
the Britter Words. It was so iconic. That's hot.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That is hot. I mean, health and safety. Where are you?
I have no idea how that was. Literally I'm hanging
onto like nothing, but that was that's like, that is
definitely a highlight.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh, I'll never forget that entrance. I was like, wow,
so sad.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
It really was Those boots are everything, the boots and
dances and choreography. I think I learned the choreography the
day before on stage at rehearsals, but I was working
pretty intensely with his fantastic choreographer Bonicella, Rafael Bonicella, and
(16:40):
I just love what he did. I love what William
Baker did with all the creative direction. And you know CDs,
he lets ejector from the CD player.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Sure yes, So then I love that song so much.
I was just having a concert during Pride in New
York and I played this mashup of Can't Get You
out of My Head with Padam and people just like
lose it.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Love it so much. But Blue Monday will be cool
no matter what you do to it. But it just
happened to be a perfect, a perfect match to go
with Can't get So we call that can't get Blue
Monday out of My Head? And I will never get
that out of my head because there's there's some uh
(17:30):
to have everything, every aspect of a performance marry up
and become greater than the sum of its parts. That's
it's quite rare, and somehow we did it there, So
I should just have that on repeat in my house,
like in every room, just to go did that when
I'm feeling a bit in need of a pep up.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, hopefully all these memories we'll make you.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
These are good. I'm enjoying them. They're pretty random, which
is good.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yes, So you are so loved by so many people,
and that includes other icons. Let's take a look. So
we just saw a clip of Madonna paying tribute to
you by performing a music and a T shirt with
your name and blazoned on it. What was your initial
reaction to this love for Madonna? Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Faint worthy, jaw dropping, you know, go back to fourteen
year old me prancing around my bedroom just wishing I
could be Madonna. And yeah, there's there's quite a few
moments now where I still am absolutely pumped that some people.
(18:48):
I'm like, they know that I exist on this planet,
not you know, before them being a fan or anything.
It's like they know that I exist. So that's probably
one of those moments.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I think everyone knows that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm trying to make it so I'm working hard.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But yeah, in twenty nighteen, you performed one of the
biggest festival crowds in the world. Here's the clip.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
You could have given me a heart attack. On this
I Am Paris podcast, so many epic moments like heart
stopping moments. Yeah, Glastonbury twenty nineteen, I performed in the
Legend slot, which is the Sunday afternoon and talking about
(19:34):
nerves before, you can't even imagine. I couldn't even say
the word Glastonbury in the West coming up leading up
to the show, I just called it the short show
because I had seventy five minutes. The other shows we
were doing around that ninety normal tours even more than that,
but for festival shows, this particular one, I just was
(20:01):
so nervous, so nervous, and it all worked out okay,
which is amazing. I was super emotional as well, because
I was supposed to headline in two thousand and five,
and that's the same year I have my breast cancer diagnosis,
so I was, you know, in a whole other other world.
(20:25):
But I remember watching Glastonbury that year and Coldplay dedicated
a song to me, and I just, you know, I
was so far away on every level. I felt removed
from the world, removed from my body, removed from that
kind of moment. So to have the opportunity in twenty nineteen. Yeah,
(20:49):
I was like, acknowledge, stop yourself before you go to
the ugly cry, because how do you get back from
that and keeps, you know, and seeing. So it was
everything was everything for me and how to represent my
catalog And now it's crazy to think then that's pre
(21:10):
for them. So maybe I'll have another opportunity one time.
But Glasson Reson it's hard to compute. And when people
ask me about it, I say, Okay, if you're on stage,
because they've got those great viewing platforms, that's such a
limited number. So if you managed to get on there, great,
(21:32):
But just being on the side. I know when I've
watched other people perform there and just being it's not
your show, it's not your panic, it's not your moment,
But just being here, trying to take in the breadth
of that audience and that the intensity of them is
kind of impossible. So when I'm trying to express how
I felt in that moment, so I just can't because
(21:56):
take that and multiply it, multiply and it's it's it's me.
There's in one view of your your I view. You
can't there's no way you can take all of it.
There's just so many.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
People that video it looks like and I've never been
to that festival. It's like one of the only music
festivals I haven't been to. Yeah, I want to go
so bad.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Right, So you're doing Vegas is here and then you're
going to do Glass and Breathe at your earliest opportunity.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's nothing else like it, and everyone has Paris schedule.
You are pulling it up and you just everyone wears
those like boots because it's like muddy.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
There's a lot of Wellington's, there's a lot of kind
of Kate Moss in Spo Still and forever More. Uh, yeah,
it didn't. It was very good weather that weekend. I
lucked out.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Okay, I'm going to do that this year.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Now we want to get to know the woman behind
the icon. I created the words as a combination of
slang and living your best life. A person who is
living is when they're glamorously successful, self empowered, and fulfilled
and they're killing it all on their own, loving every
minute of it and looking good while doing it. I
want to ask you questions about how you're living your
(23:16):
best life right now. So music is my life. It
really saved me, why is music so important to you?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Music is a life force. It calms us, it elevates us.
It can talk to emotions that you want to feel
or you need to feel. And I've just always loved
music from when I was like three or four, but
I was sent off to probably just to get me
(23:47):
out of the house. My mom had three little kids.
But yeah, to like music and kind of rhythm class
and learn different instruments as a kid, and fell in
love with like pop music when I was like eight nine,
Grease era, Abba, Donna's Summer, anything and everything that was
(24:12):
around then, and then in my early teens Madonna, Wheatney,
Cindy Turan, durand Adam and the House again, on and
on and on. So I've just always loved music, And
as a teenager, I I thought it was I thought
every kid had the same kind of daytime fantasy. Everyone
(24:32):
loved pop music. Turns out they don't. Some people love
sports or science or whatever. But yeah, I would imagine
being one of my idols or having anything to do
with that kind of I probably didn't think of it
as a job. It was just it was just something.
(24:54):
It was a feeling, and my journey into music and
then my then my discovery of all the different layers
of it up until now has been incredible. And I
love like my passion for a song and what's in
(25:15):
a song is greater than ever. It's I just I
understand it more. I know what goes into it and
trying to find those nuggets of gold and a song
that means a lot to you and can become a
hit song. Anyone you have here chatting about it will say,
(25:38):
you know, it seems easy when you managed to do it,
but getting to that point is not easy. But I
am really enjoying the work that goes into that. Yeah,
I've kind of fallen in love with it in a
whole different way. And I think some of that is
came from lockdown, Yeah, and learning self record, and now
(26:01):
I just I pretty much self record everything, which has
added a whole new dimension to to my work.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It's so fun.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I have the label saying, yeah, there's a studio, shall
we set up a studio. I'm like, no, thanks, I'll
get the you'll have them this afternoon, I'll do them.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
It's great. It's so such a so liberating.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
What is your go to getting a ready song for
a big night out. Oh, but I mean.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I could predamn anytime a day. I suppose.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Do you listen to your own music A lot?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I listen to a lot of demos, like a lot.
I was playing a few this morning, just because it's
in my head. Their works w ips, but I don't know. Weirdly,
I don't listen too much. Once it's done, I that
(27:01):
the next stage would be performing them and in Vegas
to have four songs from from the current album Tension
in that shows that's That's the next level of the
three is how does it? How much joy I get
performing it, and how much the audience elevates it. And
(27:21):
you can only imagine that. That's why I'm listening to
demos getting ready or in different environments, just to hear it,
almost trying to hear it a step removed. I digress.
What does music mean to me? It means the world
to me.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
That's your world. And do you like to cook?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I can safely say I don't think any of my
family or friends would in any of my definitions cooks not.
It's it's really low. On the occasions when I do cook,
I I enjoy it. It's just not my my brother
and sister are great cooks. There's the pantry, the ingredients
(28:06):
of fridge, and they'll it'll happen, whereas I expect some
Steven Spielberg special effect like things just happen. Of course
nothing happens, so I we'll a delivery.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
What is your favorite way to spud time with Danny?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Your sister she cooks and I hate yea we well,
she her son is thirteen, and we just love all
hanging out together. My brother has two boys who are
slightly older teenagers, so you know, we love to just
do movie night hang out. I love them so much.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
My sister and I will also again going to like
the comfy zone with as you have you spend pretty
much your entire life. It's back getting ready and glam
and so we like to break that down a sap
and yeah, we'll be doing very ordinary things for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
But yeah, same with my sister and I chilling in
the tracks it sucks. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Or my mom's vegetable garden getting some you know, doing
some planting. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm like, Mom,
what are I doing here? Is this a weird what?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
So?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Just normal homie stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, and what is your favorite way to enjoy your
incredible Kylie Minogue Prosecco rose.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh, anytime, anytime. But I also have a fantastic non
alcoholic which is might been my go to in Vegas
because it's too much going on.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
It's prosecco, It's.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
A non acoholic sparkling rose.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I try.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, well, wind come to Vegas driving that home. I
will furnish you with whatever sparkling beverage or drink you like.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I'll try the Kylie Mino. You have to.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I'm banning them from delivering anything else. You da loves it.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
What Kylie fragrance would you recommend for a first date?
Darling or disco Darling?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Ooh, first date, I might go that's oh, I'm in
two my this is the German. Being a Gemini is
no good for interviews because I'm looking. I'm going Darling's
gonna light and lovely, and disco is a bit more depends.
Why is it a daytime date or a nighttime date?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Night?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Probably disco Darling, but I am working on a new
one I like it, or more than one new one.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Nice. Yeah, I can't wait to check those out too.
Y two K is so hard right now, what look
would you bring back and reinvent from the two thousands.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I would easily bring I mean I think they're back anyway,
the cargo pant I would bring back my love at
First Sight video look, which was kind of cream cargo pants,
banana yellow, still at ours, a white tank or some branding,
(31:24):
some branding, jewelry and just feeling strong, grounded and kind
of hot at the same time. Yeah, I would go
back there. I don't know if I'd have the same effect,
but we can try.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
We need to recreate that shot. So to wrap up
our time together. I have some rapid fire questions submitted
by my fans on discord. Do you sing in the shower?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I more than singing in the shower, I would do
warm ups in the shower, which isn't quite a sex Yeah,
it's good steaming be in there. Yeah, less singing, more
just burbling and ming and making you know, the worst
(32:26):
no vocal exercises. It's pretty or sounds pretty.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
It's humiliating to do it.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah, so best to just close that door, close the
other door, and then do it.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Oh my god, don't know some of those exercises. You're like,
what am I saying right now, yeah, feel crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Don't judge. Just during my vocal warm up, what's.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Your go to karaoke song?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I would probably really do a terrible job. I want
to dance to somebody. It's like that, that's very bad decision.
Whitney song. But I could easily hit play on that
song again, no judgment, thanks in advance.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Have you ever googled yourself?
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah? I almost googled myself coming in here because I
didn't have my ID. I didn't know I had to
bring idea I don't have. Just arrived looking fabulous, that's
all I've got. I was suddenly going I got a
picture of my I could google myself. But yes, of
course I have.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah, they're so strict at this git.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, but it involves a fair amount of bravery, I think,
to google yourself. Yeah, I've often not googled myself because
I just don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Been there favorite song to perform right now?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Oh gosh, hmm. That's gonna be able to choose one
because Vegas has been just getting better and better. I mean,
dam's a very obvious one. But I think hold on
to Now is the one that ah that I'm really enjoying.
(34:19):
I just think there's so much sentiment and heart and
uh yeah, I mean that did that that? I wrote
that one, So it's come from my subconscious and again
the audience just I can just see them letting loose.
Second part of the chorus, it just the beat kicks
(34:40):
in and we're away and it's like, I feel like
we're flying by the end of that song. Oh yeah,
I love that.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Did you ever record a demo for Toxic before I
went to Britney Spears?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I didn't. I mean, yeah, I remember that because Kathy Dennis,
who wrote Can't Get You Out of My Head, wrote Toxic,
and I remember my A and R saying this, So
I've got this other song toxic, other toxic song called Toxic,
I know, but I will say that I think it
was always destined to be Britney's song. I mean, she
(35:17):
it's I can't even imagine me doing it now. So
but you live and Learne, Yeah, I love listen. Don't
say no before it's before. It's just just I try
everything now. Actually, even songs that if it's a demo,
that I'm not even entirely sure of because I can
(35:38):
just set up my equipment and it's easy enough to
do it, and sometimes it will surprise me and it
will work out.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah, you're working on the new album.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
I'm working on other songs. Yeah. And it fills me
with so much joy and frustration and all the other
things that are part of writing or finding the song
or interpreting the song, getting the vocals right. But it's
(36:11):
an amazing puzzle. Yeah, the song is the puzzle. And
I like puzzles. There's crafting and then there's puzzles. Let's
do the crossword, let's do the word. Let's do that.
You know there's plenty more nerdy stuff in me. Well
did that on our day off?
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yes? Yeah, what kind of crafting do you l like?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
To dell? I'll do anything. I actually get a little
bit jealous. This is merging the worlds of trying to,
you know, make iconic moments. And the other side is
I remember actually from Fever two thousand and two, there
was so much to do, and I had probably made
(36:55):
myself ill beforehand, just with the workload and the worry
and the stress. And I'm going to get sick. You're sick,
and so my team were. You know, there's always a stitch.
There's a stitch. It's the rule. There's stuff to do
and amending costumes or putting finish, you know, building them
up for stage. And all I wanted to do was
(37:19):
just like give me a needle and thread, give me
a task. I know what the task is. I don't
know how to do it. Just take me out of
this like hell of worry that I was in. So yeah,
any I mean anything stitching, We could start with that.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Stitching.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Stitching. Yeah, I have to teach all these wardrobe people,
don't you know how to do and not like Titan's
Away because my grandma taught me to sew and knit
and cut patterns when I was fourteen fifteen. That was
like I'd go to the market with like, you know,
five bucks and come home with remnants, bits of leather,
(37:56):
just stuff. I remember my mom saying, oh, what are
you going to do with all that? I cut them
off because I was so well, I am so tiny.
But as a teenager I would buy I'd buy a
lot of old stuff. I don't know if you would
even call it vintage. But at the Sunday Sunday Market
(38:17):
that was near our house, in the shopping mall car park,
every Sunday. It's still on every Sunday. Yeah, and make
stuff so I know how to alter things because I
used to have to alter them myself. I still have
a sewing machine somewhere in my mouse.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
I always knew how to do that.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
It's so easy, it's really fun. Okay, I need to
teach me that we're going on camp beyond the day
we're going on on camp.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
What's your favorite comfort TV show? Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I really like google Box, which is a British shows
Google goggle, g O, g g L E and and
there's a British one an Australian one, and it's basically
cameras in various people's living rooms, so there'd be no
person and they're watching TV. So they're reacting to watching TV,
(39:16):
which you think that's who's going to watch that. I
watch it and millions of people watch it, and you
see yourself, so it's kind of it's like fractals in
on itself. You're reacting to the goggle Box reacting to
the TV. I think that's a good one because you
can kind of catch up on the TV through the
week as well. Okay, spoiler alert if you're waiting to
(39:37):
see something and you don't want to know what happens
in the finale of that you know that series? Yeah,
don't watch goggle Box in that case.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Okay, what else?
Speaker 1 (39:47):
What's your what's your guilty Pleasure TV?
Speaker 2 (39:50):
I love the Simple Life?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yes, on top of the Simple Life, full full stop.
She's like, that's it.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Mm hmmm, it's all I watch.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, but what I love that?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I love cartoons. I have a family guy.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yes, I agree.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
It's so funny. Do people still come up and ask
you to do the locomotion with them?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
No, they don't. No one's ever asked yet, well not
in recent memory. I asked them in Vegas and like,
who wants to do the locomotion and try and get
people going? No, it's probably more. It's more that one.
And now it's it's for them for the tik taks.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, yes, what is your most memorable career experience so far?
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Paris?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
That's impossible.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
I mean, Glastonbury's got to be up there for a
kind of sensory overloader. Yeah, and an I can't repeat that.
I mean, I'm my job in a different my jo
in a different way. But that was definitely a peak.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Thank you, Kylie so much for coming on I in Paris,
and to all my listeners. If you haven't seen her
residency in Las Vegas, go buy your tickets right now.
