“Disco comes from darkness. We can attest from this year that life throws its challenges [at you]. So how do you find your light within that?” says Kylie Minogue on the phone from her London apartment, where she reveals what she’s been up to during lockdown: recording her new album Disco, dancing around the kitchen and living in her trackie daks.
“I thought about that more during lockdown… How disco was a safe place. It was born out of difficulty and yes, it’s dripping in sequins and it’s exuberant. People are showing off and letting go, being more themselves or being someone else, depending on what worked for them. That makes sense to me. Everyone needs to have that kind of safe space.
