Kylie Minogue

From the addictive, family-friendly bubblegum of her immediate post-Neighbours hits ("I Should Be So Lucky", arguably the bounciest pop song ever released) to the kinky, all-grown-up electro-futurism of 2001's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", and the Olympic dance euphoria of "On a Night Like This", Kylie Minogue has been all things to all men and women: girl next door, junior sex kitten, queen of clubs, Aussie national icon, brave-hearted trooper, and above all, an artist for all seasons. Let us bow down before her, fellow Kylie-ites, for we are not worthy. Kylie seals her transformation from sweet to bad, in Next Steps.

Kylie’s early hits were assembled on the production line of Stock, Aitken & Waterman, who specialized in ultra-commercial, chart-conquering pop fit for a bubbly former soap star, but sooner or later our favourite sweetheart had to unleash her inner woman . . . and what a woman she turned out to be. Boyfriend Michael Hutchence encouraged her to take charge of her music, and her image, prompting the transition to raunch on 1990’s Rhythm of Love (“What Do I Have to Do?”), while 1997’s Impossible Princess (“Breathe”) marked our wonder woman’s creative coming of age. Whether she’s remixed for clubs, or kickin’ it with the Wiggles, Kylie’s always a star . . . in Deep Cuts.

What do you get when you cross a triple-threat singing, acting, and dancing beauty with hard-won staying power and sheer force of personality? Download these Kylie Minogue Deep Cuts and you'll have your answer. Sophisticated re-mixes of tracks like "Wow" (by David Guetta and Joachim Garraud), "Keep On Pumpin' It (Angleic Remix Edit)", and "Boombox (LA Riots Remix)" have made Kylie's cutting edge even sharper, and she even injects unmistakable class into a cover of the ska classic "Monkey Man" alongside the Wiggles.

It was back in 1987 when soap star Kylie Minogue signed to Mushroom Records after belting out a cover of Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion" during a Fitzroy Football Club benefit gig alongside other Neighbours cast members. Twenty-plus years down the line and Kylie reigns supreme as Australia's most creative, versatile, and internationally adored pop queen . . . and she even made the transition to Bollywood with the movie Blue. Stock, Aitken & Waterman may have catapulted her into the mainstream, but the savvy star was quick to take charge of her music and jettison her squeaky-clean pop-princess image to surge to worldwide fame. Here's Kylie.
