Kylie Minogue has spoken about the huge response she has received to her new 'Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped)' album, as well as her plans for 2026, and if she would possibly collaborate with Nick Cave again.
The album will see the singer include her own take on classics, 'Santa Baby', and 'It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year', as she revisits her 'Kylie Christmas' record in time for its 10th anniversary. Her original album also included 'At Christmas' and '100 Degrees' which featured her sister and fellow singer Dannii Minogue.
For this new album, Kylie has also added four new tracks, including 'XMAS', which has already proven a hit with the fans, sparking a new dance craze online.
Now, Minogue has shed light about the wonderful response that the song has received from her fans, claiming that she was caught off-guard by the instant momentum that came with this dance trend.
“It’s been amazing. Like with all songs, once they go out into the world, all you want is for them to go out and have their own life,” Kylie said. “So now it’s pretty weird and amazing having people doing the ‘XMAS’ [dance on such a wide scale]. I think it’s going to follow me around forever!”.
“I saw that a whole village in Devon made a video doing the ‘XMAS’ dance together,” she continued. “It was like [CMAT’s] ‘the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker’ trend, and it made me very emotional. To see straight away that it has connected with people and that it means something to them… It’s amazing".
Minogue had announced this new album last month. More on this story here.
Elsewhere, Kylie Minogue also discussed if her plans for next year included a potential collaboration with Nick Cave.
“I don’t know because ‘Where The Wild Roses Grow’ was so beautiful, so iconic, and so unusual. Every part of it was unrepeatable as a moment in time. However, I would be really curious to know what we would do together, for sure!", she said.
“If we never did anything else together musically, that’s OK because then we can just [protect that first collaboration]. I care for that song so much and think he does as well, so I’ll always treat it so preciously. But it’d be interesting, wouldn’t it! There’s another thing on my to-do list!”.
