SOME POP STARS ARRIVE ON THE SCENE
AS THE FINISHED ARTICLE STRAIGHT OUT
OF THE BOX, WHILE OTHERS GRADUALLY
GROW INTO THE ROLE. KYLIE MINOGUE
IS DEFINITELY IN THE LATTER CATEGORY.

OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS, WE’VE SEEN
SEVERAL REINVENTIONS
t’s been fascinating to see Kylie’s
AND THE ODD MISSTEP,
evolution from the days of the
BUT MOST INTRIGUINGLY
Stock Aitken and Waterman
production line and witness her
OF ALL, THE GRADUAL
artistic moment of clarity in the early
REFINEMENT OF
90s when she started taking control
A REMARKABLE
of her musical output.
Even more heartening is that
POP PERSONA.
WELCOME TO
I
she achieved her biggest success
in her 30s. PWLKylie, IndieKylie,
DiscoKylie and now CountryKylie –
although we now know the last one
is somewhat of a red herring after
we’ve fully taken in her terrific new
album,
Golden
– there’s something
for every pop fan.
Here in the UK, Kylie may be the
most beloved pop artist of all time.
It seems almost ridiculous to say
there’s something of the underdog
about Kylie – anyone who can thrill
arena- and stadium-sized audiences
around the globe is no shrinking
violet, but she’s never given off
the bulletproof confidence of
Madonna and Beyoncé – there’s
an underlying fragility about her
which we perhaps find particularly
appealing on these shores.
Part of her enduring success
may be explained by her down-to-
earth, girl-next-door appeal. It’s
just now next door is a multi-million-
pound mansion complete with a
glitterball dancefloor.
And how bizarre to think that
30 years’ worth of albums, singles
and tours may never have occurred
without Kylie being spotted by
chance leading a
Neighbours
cast
singalong at a charity dinner...
In addition to our healthy chunk
of La Minogue, we hope you enjoy
our generous portion of sophisti-pop
in this month’s issue. Scritti Politti’s
Green Gartside grants us a very
rare audience to talk about his
ups and downs as a reluctant chart
star; we take an in-depth look
at the glorious Prefab Sprout and
kick off the debate about the Top 15
sophisti-pop albums of all time.
Does your favourite make our list?
Before I sign off, a quick
heads-up about the latest incarnation
of
Classic Pop.
In addition to our
print version and web, Facebook,
Twitter and Instagram online
