Kylie Minogue has finally unleashed the visual of her single Can’t Stop Writing Songs About You, which features disco icon Gloria Gaynor. It’s also one of my favorite cuts off her Disco (Guest List Edition) album.
It features duets with Dua Lipa, Years & Years, Jessie Ware and Gaynor – a union that came about after the “I Will Survive” hitmaker shared her love for Kylie online.
“I released ‘Disco’ (in 2020), (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 adds, reported Britain’s the Daily Star’s Wired column. “That voice is so amazing.”
“DISCO” is the fifteenth studio album from the pop icon, and the first new music since her Number One album ‘Golden’, released in 2018. It features lead single ‘Say Something’, which received global critical acclaim – deemed ‘sparkling’ by NME and ‘an introspective dance track with lyrics that feel pertinent for our quarantine days’ by Rolling Stone. Other tracks included on the album are ‘Magic’ and ‘I Love It’.
For “DISCO”, Kylie worked with collaborators Skylar Adams (with whom she worked with on Golden), Teemu Brunila (David Guetta, Jason Derulo), Maegan Cottone (Iggy Azalea, Demi Lovato), plus regular collaborator Biff Stannard, alongside others.
I honestly can’t wait for Kylie to finally hit the road with the Disco tour, and really hope she considers bringing the tour to the US.
