My last post honouring Icons and Superstars, especially those who are instantly recognisable by just their first name! Disappointingly when you google 'Kylie', Minogue is not the one at the top of the predictive search! Shame, Google, Shame! Anyhoo, this acoustic performance by Kylie Minogue on the BBC's Radio 2 of the Earth Wind & Fire classic 'September' is a lovely way to conclude the series. With a surprise dovetail to one of her own classics, Ms Minogue in a rare stripped down mode, tackles an R&B standard and does with her requisite style and phrasing. I think she does this great composition good justice! If you look at Kylie's discography she has largely focused on pop and dance, but among her achievements and recordings are some variations on those genres and she has answered the call as to whether she has a voice or not. There are so many great musical markers in her 35 year pop career, and there are many on my channel so do yourself a favour if you like vibey, feel good pop. Kylie is the Princess of it!
Tomorrow, the birthday of one of my most loved recording artists (I guess she could have been part of the icon series) but fewer younger folk will know her name or music, so I will be proud to celebrate her tomorrow.
Then the battles begin.....
