These days, Minogue, who lives in Melbourne, has also been working on new music. “I was on the treadmill a couple of weeks ago and…listening to a new demo, trying to figure out what’s good about it, what needs changing,” she says. “It helped me get quite a few more kilometers in.”

Maybe she'll experiment with electro-swing?

I was never really expecting an album this year, for some reason I have a March 23 release in my head. Kylie never follows the same theme on album twice as we know but for me I'd like a sound that has elements of Fever, Light years and Disco which is alot to ask for. I do think she will go an electro route for album 16 though.

March 23 in 2023 is Thursday, not an ideal date to compete for the top spot on the album chart.

She’s tight-lipped on the exact direction her sixteenth studio album might take, but name-drops the sensual “Slow” as a musical reference point. Released as the lead single off of Body Language, her experimental foray into electro-pop, “Slow” became a major hit for Minogue despite sounding like nothing else on the charts in 2003. “It’s still one of my favorite songs—it doesn’t matter what you do with “Slow” or what version you play, it always works!” Minogue says. “I think about what that song did for me back in its time, and I’d like to make something like that again that pushes my boundaries a little bit.”

I’ve heard fans say Neon Nights by Dannii is the album Kylie should have followed Fever up with and I do agree slightly.
