Following the pair's collaboration on 'Starstruck' in May 2021, rumours began circulating of. Olly Alexander had asked me to jump on his amazing track from early this year, Starstruck, so it felt like a natural next step to ask if he would join me for the Guest List Edition. The track was released on 6 October 2021 as the lead single from Disco: Guest List Edition, the re-issue of Kylie's fifteenth studio album Disco (2020). Years & Years, the musical project of Olly Alexander, tapped Kylie Minogue for a new remix of Starstruck. In our review of the album, Retro Pop said DISCO is “packed with upbeat, care-free ’70s inspired dance music – and, frankly, that’s just what we needed right now”. 'A Second to Midnight' is a song by Kylie Minogue and English singer-songwriter Olly Alexander, performing under his solo project Years & Years. ‘DISCO’ shattered UK chart records following its November, 2020 release, landing Kylie at the top the UK charts and becoming the first female artist to score a No. “Maybe we wouldn’t have thought to work together if we hadn’t had made similar albums? We hit it off over a halibut. The pair “hit it off” over a fish dinner during a recording session for the Remember Where You Are singer’s podcast, and they’ve since been working together on new music. Starstruck is the second collaboration to be born out of Kylie’s ‘DISCO era she previously teamed up with British pop star Dua Lipa on the Studio 2054 Remix of her latest single Real Groove, lifted from her 15th LP ‘DISCO’.Īnd it doesn’t look to be the last, as singer Jessie Ware has revealed she and Kylie have been in the studio working on new tunes together. She’s really excited because it’s all sounding great.” Olly Alexander, Sam Smith, Kylie Minogue, Dotty, MNEK, Dan Reynolds (Imagine Dragons) and Big Freedia are all strong advocates for LGBTQ+ communities.

“The updated version of her album is shaping up really nicely and it looks like it will be out later this year. “Also there was a song which Olly had written which Kylie loves, so it has turned into a really lovely working relationship. “Olly asked if she would feature on a new version of ‘Starstruck’ and she jumped at the chance as she thinks he is one of the most talented artists around right now. Sources tell The Sun: “Kylie and Olly have been friends for years and have been back in touch recently because they love each other’s music. What’s more, Olly, who recently teamed up with with Elton John on a new version of Pet Shop Boys’ It’s a Sin, is believed to have contributed a song to Kylie’s upcoming ‘ DISCO‘ deluxe reissue, due out later this year. The pop icon previously teamed up with frontman Olly Alexander for a performance of her classic hit Better The Devil You Know back in 2016 and the pair are reunited for the new version of the tune. Kylie Minogue has given Years & Years a boost by jumping on a new remix of their latest single Starstruck.
