Pre-fame

In 1986, Minogue recorded a number of self-funded demos that have never been released. These songs were not originals. The songs were:

 

Dim All the Lights, which was originally recorded by Donna Summer.

Just Once, which was a cover of the Quincy Jones song.

New Attitude, which was originally recorded by Patti LaBelle.

In 1986, Kylie recorded two duets with her sister Dannii Minogue. Both tracks were recorded in a studio and lip synched during a performance on the Australian television program Young Talent Time. The studio versions which remain unreleased are:

 

Sisters (Are Doin' It For Themselves) which was originally recorded by Eurythmics & Aretha Franklin

Twist My Arm which was originally recorded by The Pointer Sisters

Wanting You, Wanting Me Kylie performed the original song on the Australian soap opera series Neighbours.

[edit] 1987–1992: The PWL years

The Locomotion (Original Version) This was the first professional recording Kylie made. The vocals from the recording were later used on the Australian "Locomotion" single in 1987. The original, which remains unreleased, is reportedly a much "rockier" and more acoustic version, with a band playing the music. The track was rejected by her record label as too old fashioned. It was produced by Kaj Dahlstrom.

Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi (Original Version) This song was originally made as a more radio-friendly track in April 1988, when PWL was considering it for a single release. For unknown reasons the track was never released. The original version has a cleaner intro, and is said to be a bit faster with a stronger beat and "eighties chords". Part of the refrain between verse and chorus is also supposed to be sung slightly differently. On this version there are very few backing vocals.

Can't Forget You (Vocal Demo) Mike Stock claims to have an old DAT recording of Kylie singing Can't Forget You which was later recorded by Sonia. He apparently asked Kylie to sing it to see if it suited her Sweet Lyric Mezzo voice before it was given to Sonia. However, later Mike stated that he didn't have this DAT and it remains unsure as to whether or not this exists. It could, however, be true.

What Do I Have to Do (Original Version) This version was first played by Pete Waterman on his radio show, when he said that it would be the follow-up single to "Better the Devil You Know". This version is very different from any released versions. It is very synth-orientated, and has a slightly different bass-line, a completely different drum track, and multilayered vocals. Leaked to the internet.

One Love at a Time Written by Minogue, Mike Stock, and Pete Waterman. The song seems to be an early version of "If You Were with Me Now", before Keith Washington contributed to it. Kylie's vocal track was sent to New York and Keith recorded his part separately.

 

1993–1994: Kylie Minogue album

After signing with DeConstruction Records, Minogue began work on her new album. She first worked with the Rapino Brothers in June 1993. As a group they wrote and recorded enough material for an album, but the material was said to be heading in the wrong direction, and most of it was shelved and never released.

 

During this period Minogue also recorded other tracks for her album with various writers and producers; many were never released.

 

Automatic Love Written by Minogue, Charlie Mallozzi, Marco Sabiu, and Inga Humpe. This version has not been released. The song was later re-recorded with Brothers in Rhythm, and appeared on her album Kylie Minogue. The original version of the song can be heard over the closing credits of the Pratibha Parmar directed short film Wavelengths which was released in 1997. An instrumental of the original version was made but has never been released. A 47-second clip of this version was leaked in 1997.

Nothing Can Stop Us (Original Version) Remains unreleased. It was originally planned as the first single but was replaced with Confide in Me, and was remixed for b-side inclusion.

Living for Your Loving (and I'm Feeling Fine), Aston Martin, For All I'm Worth, Love is on the Line, and Our Lovin' (The Light That I Was Looking For) All five songs were written by Minogue, Mallozzi, and Sabiu. Our Lovin', For All I'm Worth and Aston Martin were leaked onto the internet. Later Our Lovin' was given to Czech singer Dara Rollins. The same was done with Love is on the Line, which was given to Polish singer Edyta Gorniak to record, but the song has never appeared on any of her albums. A 17-second clip of Kylie's Version of Our Lovin' was leaked in 1994. For All I'm Worth was leaked in mono-format MP3 in 2003 via music file-share programmes.

Living for Your Loving (and I'm Feeling Fine) was going to be included in the second CD of Where Is the Feeling? but was dropped out since the released was reduced to only one CD and finally removed from release plans.

No Turning Back Written by Kylie Minogue/Anders Bagge/Gerry Deveux. Comfirmed by BMG to be recorded. It was going to be included in Hits+ but it didn't make it to the last cut.

When Are You Coming Home? Written by Ian Stanley and Pete Wiggs. This was one of the songs that Minogue recorded with Saint Etienne in 1993—1994 (the other being "Nothing Can Stop Us"). It was considered 'too pure pop' for the album by her record label and was not released. Confirmed by BMG to be recorded. It was going to be included in Hits+ but it didn't make it to the last cut.

If I Was Your Lover (original version) Written by Jimmy Harry. A different version of the song later appeared on the album Kylie Minogue.

The World Needs Love & Intution Both written by Jimmy Harry, and remain unreleased.

Baby Doll Written by Prince and Minogue. This is the only confirmed song written by Minogue with Prince. Kylie wrote the lyrics and handed them to Prince. Prince recorded a backing track and later laid down some vocals but eventually scrapped it. Kylie never recorded vocals for this song.

 

 

1996-1997: Impossible Princess album

Fallen Angel, Something That We Started, and Floating Written by Minogue and Steve Anderson and only recorded in demo form.

Something That We Started Written by Minogue, Anderson, and Seaman. The song might be the same song as Something Sacred, an unconfirmed song from the Impossible Princess sessions.

(All Right) Now, You're the One, Prisoner of Time, Stay With You, and Looking Down on Me Written by Minogue, Anderson and Seaman.

You're the One exists in 2 demo versions, one in late 1996 and one in 1997. The latter of the two appeared on the internet as a poor-quality MP3 in the late 1990s.

(A bootleg mix called Right Now includes sampled vocals from Kylie's 1991 track Let's Get To It but this is not the same track as the unreleased Impossible Princess demo entitled (All Right) Now.)

 

Free Written by Minogue and Steve Anderson in 1992-1993. She performed the track on her Intimate and Live tour in 1998. It has never been properly recorded apart from a very rough demo version. The live version, however, is rumoured to have been remixed.

Love is in Your Life, Looking Down on Me, and I'm Ready Written by Minogue and Steve Anderson.

Soon Written by Minogue and Nick Cave. Cave wrote the music around lyrics that were given to him by Minogue. The track was recorded and produced by Rob Dougan, but never used.

Stay With You & You're The One Remain unreleased.

Sometime Samurai (Original Demo) During the summer of 1996 Kylie wrote the original demo of Sometime Samurai with Japanese DJ/artist Towa Tei. It was later re-worked in 2004 and included on Towa's Tei Japanese Album Flash and released as a single in his native Japan.

 

1998: Mardi Gras

Somewhere (There's a Place For Us) Kylie recorded a short cover version of this classic song from West Side Story especially for the intro to her performance of Better the Devil You Know at the 20th Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras in February 1998. The studio version of this remains unreleased.

[edit] 1999: Fox Studios Australia: The Grand Opening

Diamonds (Are A Girls Best Friend) Kylie recorded a cover version of this classic Marilyn Monroe track in 1999 especially to perform to at the Fox Studios Australia: Grand Opening on November 7th 1999 in Sydney, Australia. The track was recorded in a studio and mimed to for the performance where Kylie re-created the classic Marilyn routine from the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes film. Due to the lack of audience noise high quality rips from the televised broadcast appear as CD quality studio rips. The actual studio version has never been released officially. In 2007, the shorter version from this performance are used as promotional song for her documentary films, "White Diamond".

 

1999–2000: Light Years sessions

2002–2003: Body Language sessions

Before Body Language was released in 2003, a fake track-listing was released on the internet. Called City Games, this list included two songs: "You Make Me Feel", which was included on the Japanese and North American releases of the album, and "City Games", which was a B-side of the song "Chocolate". Since Parlophone originally denied the existence of a track called "City Games", it now seems that the other songs from the track-listing might exist somewhere in the vaults. The tracklist was as follows:

1.Slow - included on "Body Language" and served as first single

2.City Games - later included on "Chocolate"

3.You Make Me Feel - included on North American release of "Body Language"

4.E-Z St

5.In The Dark - may well have been a working name for the track "After Dark", included on "Body Language" (although the writers that were credited for this song, and the ones who wrote "After Dark, have only one writer in common)

6.How Can You Say No?

7.Second Thoughts

8.Heavy Handed

9.Fly

10.Attention Seeker

11.Beat U

Colour My Life, Attention Seeker, and Do It Written by Minogue, Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher, and Dave Morgan. All three songs have been confirmed by Parlophone in 2003. A song by the title, Body Language, is also confirmed to have been written, but it is unknown whether or not Minogue recorded it.

Songs were written for the album by Minogue, Stannard, and Gallagher without Morgan. These were Make My Day, Up and Coming, Love Is and Takin' My Time

 

Give Me a Reason and I'm Fascinated Written by Minogue, Stannard, and Gallagher during the Body Language sessions, and were later considered to be released on her second greatest hits package, Ultimate Kylie, in 2004.

I'll Be Your Oh-Oh Written and produced by Pascal Gabriel and Paul Statham. Kylie only recorded an acoustic version of this song. It was abandoned and not even presented to Parlophone as Paul and Pascal didn't get it to sound they wanted.

I'm Sorry and Trippin' Me Up Written by Minogue, Pascal Gabriel and Paul Statham. - Trippin' Me Up can be heard at UltimateKylie@Myspace. The song is 3:43 in length. - both I'm Sorry and Trippin' Me Up were both leaked online on June 6th 2006.

Trippin' Me Up - Various different alternative versions of this demo exist including an acoustic version, a full length master mix and a few vocal test mixes.

Trippin' Me Up (Acoustic Version) (4:22) Unreleased guitar-based demo version.

Trippin' Me Up (Acoustic Mix-Down Version) (5:04) Unreleased acoustic showcase from demo CD. This version leaked onto the internet on December 19th, 2006.

Trippin' Me Up (1st Demo Version) (3:46) Different production to the first leaked version

Trippin' Me Up (Break Beat Test Mix #2) (2:10) Unique break beat test mix

Trippin' Me Up (Full Length Studio Master)

Fall For You Written by Minogue, Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher, and Dave Morgan.

You Can't Touch Me' and Headcase are rumored tracks that have supposedly been recorded, but production details are unknown.

Kisses Recorded during the Johnny Douglas sessions, but did not make the album. "Secret Garden," later recorded by Rachel Stevens for her album "Come and Get It" was also demoed.

On The Up Recorded/written with Johnny Douglas. Clip leaked online via YouTube on June 28th, 2006. Full song leaked on November 12th, 2006.

Chocolate (feat. Ludacris) An early version of Chocolate included a rap by Ludacris but wasn't used on the final mix. (A part of Ludacris vocals can be heard at the beginning of the released version over the intro). A 1-Minute clip was leaked by late July. Kylie didn't like the rap so it wasn't released.

Red Blooded Woman (Demo) A very early rough demo of this includes a rap by Kylie. It was quickly omitted from the next version and never used again when Kylie said she found it 'embarrassing'.

You Blow Hot And Cold A disco track that was shelved and didn't make the album. It was (co?)written by Kylie. Britney Spears later expressed interest in recording the song for her forthcoming album at the time after the release of her Greatest Hits compilation, Greatest Hits: My Prerogative. Whether the track was recorded by Spears or not is unknown, but a demo but Minogue is likely to exist.

 

In 2005 two unreleased tracks were leaked onto the internet, both recorded for the Body Language project. They were:

 

My Image Unlimited Written by Wayne Wilkins, Mark Stent, Andrew Frampton, Dane Bowers, and Javine Hylton. Lengths about 3:43.

I'm Just Here for the Music Written by Danielle Brisebois and Wayne Rodriguez. Lengths about 3:34.

[edit] 2004: Ultimate Kylie sessions

Loving You Written by Minogue and Brian Higgins and was only recorded as a demo. The track has been leaked onto the internet.

In 2004 Minogue wrote two unreleased songs with Scissor Sisters members Jake Shears and Babydaddy: I Know and Ooh (the Blues). I Know leaked onto the internet. The latter is said to be a Scissor Sisters track featuring Minogue, and although this version remains unheard, a Scissor Sisters only demo version leaked onto the internet and in a finished form, under the name Ooh, which has made its appearance on the band's second album Ta-Dah but without Kylie's vocals.

 

2004: The Jazz Sessions

Kylie recorded a small selection of jazz numbers/covers in 2004 including a cover of I Put a Spell on You.

 

2004: G-A-Y Made in Heaven 2004

Made in Heaven (2004 Steve Anderson Remix) A special new version, produced by Steve Anderson was made of this classic 80's Kylie PWL track, with new vocals and a brief sample of it was used as the intro to Kylie's special gig at the G-A-Y club in London on February 28th 2004. The studio version of this remix remains unreleased.

 

2007: X

Everything I Know Written by Kylie Minogue, BabyDaddy & Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters fame was originally demoed in 2004 for the Ultimate Kylie sessions but was not used. The track however leaked online in November 2004. Kylie has now re-recorded the track and the song. Kylie has also recorded other new tracks with the Scissor Sisters.

Flirtatious Written by Johnny Douglas & Karen Poole, a track that was turned down by Parlophone A & R and seems unlikely to find a release. Kylie NEVER recorded any vocals for this song only Karen Poole did vocals for the demo. According to Johnny Douglas himself the song has now been completely abandoned and will no longer be used for the new album, as originally intended.

Stars / My Star Written by Kylie Minogue, Richard Stannard, Julian Peake & Paul Harris

Inside Written by Kylie Minogue

White Diamond Written and recorded with the Scissor Sisters in late April using their Universal Music studios in New York City. It appears that the band will be producing at least one or two more tracks for Kylie's new album. White Diamond has been used as the model on which the album will be based. The song was showcased on Showgirl The Homecoming Tour on November 11th 2006 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Australia to a mixed reception.

White Diamond was release with the live album Showgirl The Homecoming Tour in Australia.

Watch You Dance Written by Gordon Davis and given to Kylie though not yet recorded by her.

Songs with Calvin Harris (Details as yet unknown)

Excuse My French (aka French Kissing) Written by Jewels & Stone and Rob Davis

When The Cat's Away Written by Hannah Robinson and Jewels & Stone

Excuse My French (French Kissing) & When The Cat's Away Both these demos leaked in March 2007 with a multitude of controversy surrounding them. The first leak Excuse My French was originally incorrectly being labelled as Kylie's new comeback single. The truth was - it wasn't. It was also labelled as new Kylie material, which indeed it is but this was to later be denied by Parlophone in a blind panic following the discovery of the tracks leak.

 

Within no time Parlophone were informed of the leak as was Kylie's management team Terry Blamey Management. In a panic at the leakage of this new material they informed all parties questioning the song that it was actually an "Old demo" and that in fact it wasn't Kylie singing.

 

They claimed it was a session singer used to sound like Kylie for demo purposes. This process is where a demo is recorded with a session singer recorded to sound like the intended artist so the song can be presented to the artist and record label so they can gauge an idea of how the finished product could sound if the intended artist recorded it. Now, whilst this session singer sound-a-like process is actually common practice in the demo process of big artists in this instance it is not the case.

 

The leaked Excuse My French that you hear is very much Kylie's vocals and very much a new and real demo, recorded in 2006. It is not her new comeback single but it is indeed new material recorded as part of the demo sessions process for her forthcoming album, currently being labelled as Kylie X.

 

Parlophone then went on an all out mission to try and convince fans that what they were actually hearing on Excuse My French was actually not Kylie and an old demo. This of course was to throw fans off the scent and prevent more downloads. This, of course, does not really work with fans as, be it old or new material, a newly leaked track is the talk of the fan base and will be widely downloaded regardless of what is said.

 

A day after the leakage of Excuse My French came another leak in the form of clip of a song entitled When The Cat's Away. The same, as described above applies to this song however the vocals on When The Cat's Away are a session singer used to replicate Kylie's vocal style.

 

Both songs are taken from a 14-track new demos CD which features a mixture of actual demos recorded by Kylie and some demos by session singers recorded to sound like Kylie. These are compiled for research purposes at the EMI headquarters.

 

Many fans, after hearing they "weren't Kylie" then went on to convince themselves they never thought it was her in the first place. This is how throwing a fake spanner into the works can often confuse people and lead them to actually believe whatever yarn they are being spun. Some fans even convinced themselves they thought the demos sounded more like Kylie's sister Dannii Minogue.

 

So, it can be confirmed, both Excuse My French and When The Cat's Away are indeed genuine Kylie demos and are also, indeed, new material.

 

On March 9th 2007 Kylie.com added the following strange and false statement to their site to try and distract attention from the leak:

 

Kylie.com Official but False Statement:

 

Kylie.com would like to set the record straight regarding a track attributed to Kylie entitled 'Excuse My French'.

 

Kylie is not singing on the track and she has never recorded a song by that name.

 

 

She is currently in the studio recording tracks for her tenth studio album hopefully to be released later this year.

 

 

The above statement is a rather sweeping and dramatic lie on behalf of Parlophone and EMI who know very well that Excuse My French IS a Kylie demo and very much sung by Kylie.

 

It's also quite a strange statement considering Parlophone originally said it was an "old demo" and "not to do with the album". Now they are completely denying she ever recorded such a song. A total contradiction.

 

The denial of the existence of this song and it being Kylie is purely to try and deter fans from downloading the controversial leak and to try and regain some damage control.

 

The demo IS Kylie and is recorded by Kylie and this false statement on the official Kylie site adds more controversy to this new leak.

 

Parlophone are currently investigating how the tracks leaked via their legal team whilst trying to prevent further downloads.

Change Your Mind - Written by Jake Shears

 

Unreleased Mushroom & PWL remixes

The Loco-Motion (A cappella Mix) This version was due to appear on Minogue's Greatest Remix Hits album but was not included at Minogue's request, because the release of an all-vocal track would result in numerous unofficial mixes of the song.

Can't Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head (Original Erol Alkan Bootleg Mash-Up) The original bootleg mashup of Kylie's Can't Get You Out Of My Head with New Order's hit Blue Monday was issued as an unofficial bootleg DJ 12" in late 2001 mixed by DJ Erol Alkan, during a time when a vast amount of bootleg mixes of this Kylie song were circulating. The bootleg mix used the original mix of Blue Monday mixed with the vocals of Kylie's Can't Get You Out Of My Head from the special Superchumbo Voltapella Mix from one of the official promo 12" records which included a cappella vocal elements. This mix became very popular in clubs and when it was heard by one of Kylie's A & R team at Parlophone they decided to commission an official version of the mix, which was produced by Stuart Crichton a.k.a. Narcotic Thrust and showcased at the 2002 BRIT Awards in Earls Court London in February 2002. It was later included on CD1 of Kylie's 2002 single Love at First Sight and also promoed within its own right. The original bootleg mix can be heard in a nightclub scene in the 2004 Matthew Vaughn directed film Layer Cake. The official version appeared on the soundtrack.

[edit] Pre-recorded 'live-effect' vocal versions - Used For Promotional Purposes

These versions of Kylie are basically the standard backing tracks (musically) but the vocal is re-recorded in a studio with a 'live-effect' sound and is then mimed to on TV or for promotional purposes to give a more authentic 'live' feel. Sometimes these special 'live-effect' vocal versions will have slightly different cold endings that don't fade out to make for a better 'live-effect' performance as true live vocals aren't usually faded out at the end of a performance.

 

This was also partly used after Kylie's performance at the Mushroom 25 Celebrations in Melbourne, Australia in November 1998. At the time of performing Kylie had severe laryngitis and even though she sang live for her medley Kylie wasn't happy with her performance (with Medley produced by Steve Anderson) and when it came to releasing it officially on the Mushroom 25 Live - Concert Of The Century video and CD set Kylie recorded a new 'live-effect' vocal which was then dubbed over the performance.

 

Notable 'live-effect' vocal versions are:

Princess Of Pulse (Electro Eyes) On December 2nd 2002 Kylie performed a special megamix of her hits from her album Fever. The special megamix included parts of an unreleased Can't Get You Out Of My Head (Soulwax Elektronic Remix), In Your Eyes (with 'Give It To Me' backing), Come Into My World and Love at First Sight (Ruff & Jam Mix). The performance was mimed and the studio version of the medley remains unreleased commercially.

[edit] Rumoured songs/mixes and fakes

The Last Word In 1989 Korean 7" single for "Nothing to Lose" was released and withdrawn. On its B-side it included an unknown track called "The Last Word". It has since been confirmed that no such Kylie song from PWL exists with this title and it's assumed that the obscure single may have been a split-artist release and "The Last Word" may have been by another artist.

Chorus is a song that was rumoured to have been written and recorded with Bono in 1995–1996. There is no proof to show that it was written, let alone recorded. It is believed to have been made up due to Minogue's thanking of Bono on the Impossible Princess liner notes.

[edit] Songs incorrectly labelled as Kylie tracks

Listen To The Rhythm During the time when PWL were releasing club records by Kylie on white label promos under the pseudonym of Angel K another single was released in 1992 on the PWL label entitled Listen To The Rhythm. The artist credit went to K3M. For years many fans believed this track/single to feature the vocals of Kylie and that the artist name of K3M was actually in reference to the initials of her name, plus with a single catalogue number that followed on from Kylie's Give Me Just a Little More Time single all the signs were there that it was a secret Kylie track. The song did very badly in the UK charts, not even breaking the Top 60 and many believed PWL denied the track featured Kylie because of its lack of success. However, it has been confirmed that the vocal sample on Listen To The Rhythm actually comes from a track by a group called GTO entitled Listen To The Rhythm Flow.

A Love We'll Find Originally heard on a Brothers in Rhythm night on Radio 1, this was never confirmed as a Kylie track, despite being rumoured to be an early version of Where Has the Love Gone?. However, it has now been confirmed to actually be Talk to Me (Sasha Remix) by Hysterix.

High Energy Boy During the time Kylie appeared as the Green Fairy in Baz Luhrmann's film/musical Moulin Rouge there was talk about her recording a new track for the soundtrack. The song Physical (a cover version of an Olivia Newton-John classic) was original mentioned for inclusion but was not used (It later surfaced on the Light Years - Tour Edition 2-CD set). Kylie recorded The Sound Of Music for the film but it was not included on the soundtrack (although a brief part of the track was used as the intro to the Fever2002 Tour). A track called High Energy Boy appeared online and was mislabelled as a Kylie track. The track was by a Slovenian dance duo called Moulin RougeMoulin Rouge (not of any association to the film), which was recorded in the 1980s.

True Love Never Dies a Donna Williams track mislabelled as Kylie vs Rank 1 and circulated online via various file share programmes.

Like A Stranger, Again & Again & With You In late 2004 3 tracks appeared online with the above titles. They are in fact pitched-up and renamed Goldfrapp tracks, as listed below:

Like A Stranger - is actually the pitched-up and renamed Goldfrapp track Forever from their 2003 album Black Cherry

Again & Again - is actually the pitched-up and renamed Goldfrapp track Twist from their 2003 album Black Cherry

With You - is actually the pitched-up and renamed Goldfrapp track Utopia' from their 2000 album Felt Mountain
