Release: 1988Source checked
V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. The selected original recording was released in 1988. Only the supported year is used; later singles, remixes, regional album dates and reissues do not reset its first-release year.
The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.

About Kylie Minogue
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
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.
