Just two days into October, and the annual hustle for Christmas sales has already begun, with Kylie announcing details of Kylie Christmas, an album featuring covers, duets and original material.
On her album, released on 13 November, Kylie, who has previously duetted with Nick Cave and Robbie Williams, remains eclectic in her selection of male collaborators: Iggy Pop will feature on a cover of the Waitresses’ Christmas Wrapping, James Corden, having proved his singing capabilities during his Carpool Karaoke series, features on Yazoo’s Only You (also a Christmas No 1 in 1983 with The Flying Pickets’ version), and a posthumous duet with Frank Sinatra on Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. The deluxe version of the album features Kylie’s sister Dannii Minogue, who recorded a new song entitled 100 Degrees.
To celebrate the album, Kylie will be performing her first ever show at the Royal Albert Hall on 11 December.
