List of songs recorded by Kylie Minogue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Australian singer Kylie Minogue signed a record deal with Mushroom Records in 1987, and released her debut album Kylie in 1988.[1] The bubblegum pop record was the first collaboration with long-time partners Stock Aitken Waterman,[2] who also wrote and produced her subsequent studio albums Enjoy Yourself (1989), Rhythm of Love (1990), and Let's Get to It (1991). During her years under Deconstruction Records, Minogue released her eponymous fifth album (1994), described as "a sophisticated, stylish dance record" by Digital Spy, on which she collaborated with music producers Brothers in Rhythm.[3] Impossible Princess (1997) saw the singer adopt a more "experimental" approach,[4] with elements of trip hop and electronica,[5] for which she penned every track; the album touches on themes of self-discovery and freedom of expression.[5][6]
Returning to more dance-oriented music, Minogue signed to Parlophone in 1999 and released Light Years the following year.[7][8] Fever (2001) contained disco elements,[9][10] while Body Language (2003) references to songs from the 1980s and explores genres like R&B and hip hop.[11][12] She worked with Stuart Price, Greg Kurstin and Calvin Harris during her albums, X (2007) and Aphrodite (2010), which mostly continued her dance-pop style of music.[13][14] Kiss Me Once (2014), released under her management contract with Roc Nation,[15] featured production and songwriting from Sia and Pharrell Williams.[16] Her Christmas album, Kylie Christmas (2015) contains holiday-themed covers and original tracks.
By 2017, Minogue joined BMG Rights Management and released the country-influenced Golden the following year.[17] Disco (2020) and Tension (2023), both influenced by 1980s music, had Minogue engineer her own vocals.[18][19]
Minogue has also recorded songs for a number of side projects. In 1988, she worked with Jason Donovan on the single "Especially for You" and the B-side "All I Wanna Do Is Make You Mine". She went on to record "Where the Wild Roses Grow" and "Death Is Not the End" for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' Murder Ballads (1996). She collaborated with American producer Fernando Garibay on two electronic-influenced extended plays Sleepwalker (2014) and Kylie + Garibay (2015). She has also contributed to various charity releases, including "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (1989), "Everybody Hurts" (2010), "God Only Knows" (2014) and "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" (2020).
