Feature: Music Kylie Minogue – Comeback Queen – Queer Icon
This month, pop chameleon Kylie Minogue returns with a new record deal, a new album that blends country with dance, and a new look that’s equal parts showgirl and cowgirl.
It’s not her first time at this particular rodeo. At the turn of the millennium Kylie was ready for a new chapter. The ’80s saw her star turn on Aussie mega-hit soap, Neighbours segue into a massive teen-pop career, working with hit factory PWL and their song-writing team Stock Aiken Waterman. Throughout the ’90s Kylie attempted to find her feet as a grown-up, going from dance to her much hyped ‘Indie Kylie’ phase. The results had mixed commercial success, though her collaborations with Nick Cave and Manic Street Preachers gave her a hit of the credibility she wanted so badly.
