Description
From Ramsey Street to global icon, this is the revelatory exploration of one of the world's most successful pop stars, Kylie Minogue.
From her late-eighties beginnings — capturing our hearts as Charlene in Neighbours — to her gold-plated hits like 'Spinning Around' and 'Padam Padam' soundtracking the euphoria of dancefloors the world over, Kylie Minogue is a modern-day icon. But, having sold over eighty million records internationally and becoming the bestselling Australian pop star of all time, who is the 'real' Kylie? And how has she remained a mystery while also navigating a forty-year career in the fickle world of pop?
Pop-academic and award-winning writer Michael Cragg takes us on a journey into the psyche of one of the world's most enigmatic pop stars. Via a mix of brand new interviews, a dash of oral history, and some joyfully irreverent music writing, Can't Get You Out Of My Head aims to put the puzzle pieces together.
