Kylie Minogue’s fifth official live album Aphrodite Les Folies has leaked. The Australian icon always puts a different spin on her songs when she performs them live and this is no exception. It’s all over the internet now and any avid Kylie fan should download it now.
Below are two behind-the-scenes clips previewing the special features form Kylie Minogue’s upcoming CD, DVD and Blu-ray release of Aphrodite Les Folies: Live In London.
It is about time that she retired this song from promo appearances. We are still bitter that she didn’t release “Too Much” as a single, we don’t know if we can recover from all the bad single choices Kylie has made across her career. But, we still love her to death.
Astralwerks Records will release Kylie Minogue’s massively acclaimed Aphrodite Les Folies: Live In London on CD, DVD, Blu-ray and audio digital download on November 29th.
The diva of dance is showing no signs of stopping and we hope this decade is as more filled with Minogue-ness than the past three!

So, the monster (and not in the Gaga way) is back in the studio to put together whatever noise she can find in order to go on a world tour. It’s admirable to see her still trying to make some musical strides. And then (the real news) the very lovely Kylie Minogue retweeted her excitement. She is officially the nicest diva on the planet. Click below for it.
A new track, allegedly from the Aphrodite sessions, has leaked. The song is called “Silence.” Click below to listen to it.
1. Greetings from Kuwait! Loft965.com picked your song “Put Your Hands Up” as a “Sexy Track” of 2011. How do you feel about that and what will be the next single?
I do believe this is the first time any track of mine has been described as ‘Sexy’. That alone has made my day, so thank you! I think the next single will either be ‘Turn Me On Again’ or ‘All Bets Are Off’. Not sure which order.
2. Your new album is titled Year Of The Wolf. That’s not one of the animals that is included in the Chinese zodiac calendar. How did that name come about?
It’s slightly sentimental – my baby son is called Wolfie, and as much of the album was written and recorded while I was pregnant with him, it seemed a fitting title. I did consider calling it ‘Year of the Carrot’ just coz, you know, it seemed like fun.
3. We love “Damascus” so much. What was the inspiration behind the song and have you been there?
Thank you, glad you like the song. I have been to Damascus, a few times, as a child on my way to India with my mother to see my family there. We used to fly some complicated routes, so I’ve stopped off in loads of Middle Eastern cities over the years on my way to India. I guess as a kid, I was really into Bible stories, and I loved the one about St Paul having his epiphany on the road to Damascus. I used that metaphor to describe a relationship that has ended after years of waiting for a Damascus moment that never came.
4. We know you have worked with Kylie Minogue. How is she to deal with and what was your inspiration behind writing “Aphrodite” the title track, which became the ongoing theme that seemed to have carried through the whole album and its tour?
Kylie is everything an icon should be. They say that you shouldn’t meet your idols but in her case she is just fantastic. I wrote “Aphrodite” with my husband shortly after we started working with her. I wanted to craft her a song that was as a celebration of her as an icon and the power of women in general. But not in a ball-breaking, women are better than men way – more a celebration of femininity, love and playful sexuality – all the things I feel Kylie radiates. I was so proud that she chose to name the album and tour after that track – and going to see her open the show with it is definitely one the highlights of my life.
5. We love quotes, what is your favorite quote or motto?
It’s by my bedside and it’s one from Winston Churchill : ‘Never, ever, ever, ever give up.’
And I like that one that goes ‘Shit happens.’ I reckon that’s a Zen master one. It’s certainly true.
Nerina Pallot’s single “Put Your Hands Up” is out now. The album Year Of The Wolf will be out on June 13th, 2011.
Never underestimate a good morning number. Nerina Pallot is no stranger to pretty tunes, but this track is a little on the upbeat side. It’s a testament to just surrendering at times. Her vocals follow perfectly and the chorus catches you by surprise. It’s the kind of track that might go by unnoticed at first but you’ll soon notice you can’t stop humming the chorus. “Put Your Hands Up” is the lead single to the album Year Of The Wolf and if it is a taste of what is to come then we surely have a great album.
As a part of the promotional campaign to launch Nerina Pallot’s forth album Year Of The Wolf, Loft965.com has been sent an exclusive performance of her new song “If I Lost You Now.” We definitely like what we hear and can’t wait for the album to drop on June 13th, 2011!
Not only in Kylie Minogue releasing a limited edition of her album for the US tour, but she is also releasing a single EP for her song “Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love),” which should have been her 3rd single instead of “Better Than Today” followed by “Too Much.” This is the cover art for it and we can’t wait to hear it all the different clubs this summer.
Kylie Minogue’s tour is getting rave reviews and it looks like a smash. We want to catch one of the dates! Love Kylie!
The lovely Kylie Minogue and Loft965.com favorites The XX both received Ivor Novello award nominations. The awards recognize excellence in songwriting. Kylie Minogue is nominated in the “PRS for Music – Most Performed Work” category for her song “All The Lovers.”
