About Kylie Minogue
Kylie Minogue moved from Australian television, including Neighbours, into pop recording with early albums such as Kylie and Enjoy Yourself. Her work with the PWL production team established one phase of that career. After moving to Deconstruction, her 1994 self-titled album brought collaborations with Brothers in Rhythm and a broader mixture of house, R&B and other dance styles. Confide in Me is a useful landmark in that shift toward a more varied studio sound.
