Kylie Minogue: 4. She Hears It and She K...

BBC RADIO 2
About this episode

Join Scott Mills for the ultimate celebration of the UK’s best-loved pop star, who this year headlines Radio 2 in the Park on Sunday 17th September.

All good things come to an end - unless you’re Kylie Minogue, apparently.

In 2012, Kylie marked 25 years in the music industry. The Abbey Road Sessions, an album of radical reworkings of some of her biggest hits, could easily have bookended a career few others could match. As it turned out, it was more of a bookmark - an acknowledgement of what had gone before, with the promise of more to come.

In the last decade, Kylie embraced possibility, turning her time-tested talents to new musical challenges. From country music to Covid home-studios and star-studded floorfillers, this was the era where Kylie most obviously did what she’s always done - whatever she likes.

And then… Padam Padam. The undeniable sound of Summer ‘23, and the hook that caught a whole new generation.
