At the 2024 BRIT Awards, Kylie Minogue spoke to NME about her interest in experimenting with indie folk music and her openness to new collaborations. When asked about her recent comments regarding her desire to try new genres, particularly indie folk, the pop icon reflected on the artists she had been enjoying recently, stating that she “just listens to playlists of one song I like, which leads me down this trippy path.” Minogue went on to say that “who should I seek out tonight? Just putting it out there that indie pop folk is one of my happy places.” She also spoke about her willingness to be malleable and explore different genres and collaborations.
“I just love collaboration and stepping into different [genres],” Minogue said. “Being malleable and seeing what’s possible… every collaboration takes you somewhere you didn’t know you’d go. So watch this space! You never know, something might come of tonight.” She reinforced this point by citing her past work, including singing a murder ballad with Nick Cave and collaborating with Kermit the Frog.
Minogue also received the award for Global Icon at the ceremony and closed out the show with a medley of her biggest hits. Although she was nominated for International Artist of the Year, the award ultimately went to SZA. The singer is set to headline this year’s BST Hyde Park on Saturday, July 13th, joining headliners such as Shania Twain, Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Stray Kids, and Kings of Leon.
