AFTER more than three decades at the top, you’d be forgiven for thinking Kylie Minogue might be ready to wind down.
As well as three Brits, 16 Australian Music Awards and a Grammy, in 2020 the pint-sized superstar became the first female artist in history to top the UK album chart over five consecutive decades, thanks to her No1 record Disco.
But now, as she releases her 16th album Tension, she insists she has never felt more empowered to continue to shape the pop landscape.
And don’t expect the 55-year-old to tone down her racy outfits of PVC and lace or sultry lyrics to appease those who say she should toe a so-called “age appropriate” line.
“It’s not about being sexy, it’s about being yourself” she tells The Sun on Sunday as she sits down in London’s Claridge’s hotel to give her only newspaper chat to promote the infectious new electronic album.
