I enjoyed the three-part Kylie documentary when it turned up on Netflix a few weeks ago, which was full of fascinating revelations even for a casual fan; she’s had such a long and varied career that it ends up being a gallop through almost the entire last forty years of pop. It also reminded me of a Popular comment of mine from 16 years ago—”I can imagine Kylie as one of those girls playing Grease on the classroom tape-deck in 1978, picturing herself as a future Olivia Newton-John”—as I realised just how spot on it was. You’ll have to watch episode one of the series to see what I mean. It also nudged me to give 2023’s Tension a proper listen; and listen, and listen; it’s great. The kids and I listened to Disco a lot in the car back in Covidtimes, and this was a worthy successor. I’d better get onto Tension II next.
