Kylie Minogue, 55, says she refuses to slow down during her career comeback as she confesses: ‘I’m at a point in my life where I know it won’t last forever’
Kylie Minogue stated during an interview with Kylie Minogue that she refused to slow down amid her current ‘wave’ of comeback success Billboard.
The 55-year-old singer is back on the global music scene after the breakthrough hit Padam Padam from her sixteenth studio album Tension.
The performer — who recently duetted with Madonna — told the outlet that while she was happy with the warm reception to her new projects, she didn’t want to be in a position where there would be “no hope” for her career.
Minogue stated that while she was creatively inspired, she was also “at a point in my life where I know it’s not forever.”
‘I just want to maximize this brilliant wave. If you’re not paddling when the wave comes, you have no hope,” she added.

The artist won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Dance Recording last month, and her Las Vegas residency, titled More Than Just a Residency, has become a favorite among visitors to Sin City.
Minogue, who described her recent success in the United States as “a great victory for longevity,” then noted how American listeners had lost and gained interest in her over the years.
“I’ve had this kind of back-and-forth with America. “I was the ‘Loco-Motion’ girl for a long time, then I was the ‘la-la-la’ girl, and I think I’m ‘Padam’ now,” she noted.
She then added that with the advent of “streaming, the algorithms will lead you to discover more of my music.”
The Can’t Get You Outta My Head singer then told Billboard that she taught herself several production tools during the COVID-19 lockdown.
The performer admitted that she found the experience of taking control in the studio particularly ‘liberating’.
She said: ‘I’ve had a lot of awkward moments [in the studio]. No one would have known because I pretended to go through it. But to have my own microphone and do it on my own time? It is awesome. I could go on for hours.”
Minogue went on to say that she had ‘matured’ both as an individual and as an artist, which she described as ‘so pleasant’.

The hitmaker also noted that her creative process “became more vacuum-tight” the more time she spent in the studio.
The Love At First Sight singer then stated that she had learned to love her singing voice after years of doubting her abilities.
‘To accept that I don’t have a big voice, but to be proud that I have my voice, and to really own it? That took a long time,” she says.
Minogue added: “But I can adapt and have many voices, just like my own [visual] presentation I am chameleon-like. That’s who I am.’
