Kylie Minogue and ALOK have joined forces on the anthemic new single ‘Last Night I Dreamt I Fell In Love’. Check it out below.
The bright and pulsing dance track sees the pop icon sing: “I woke up with a crush / We never got to touch / One night was not enough / Went tripping in a dream / You there in front of me / Like LOVE love,” describing having a crush and wanting more.
Directed by Minogue’s long-time collaborator, Sophie Muller, the song’s accompanying music video sees the ‘Padam Padam’ hitmaker dancing in a dark room with colourful strobe lights and rolling around on a mattress.
Speaking about the track in a press release, Grammy-nominated Brazilian music superstar and philanthropist ALOK said: “In 2021, I remixed ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ during a live set with my brother Bhaskar, and the response was amazing. Now, I’ve had the chance to do something truly unique alongside Kylie – a vibrant and electrifying pop ballad. In my opinion, ‘Last Night I Dreamt I Fell in Love’ captures Kylie’s signature dance vibe while also reflecting my exploration of sounds that blend different genres.”
Minogue added: “‘Last Night I Dreamt I Fell In Love’ – and I really did! I woke up one morning with the title and idea for this song … it’s amazing to be literally sharing my dreams with you all. I had such a fun day in the studio with my fellow writers and now ALOK has worked his magic and I’m so happy to be releasing this track with him. Happy Valentine’s Day!”
The pop singer released her sequel album ‘Tension II’ in October. Speaking to NME beforehand, Minogue described the project as “kind of a hybrid” between a deluxe edition and a new record – one that “was never intended to be another volume of work”.
In other news, Minogue is set to kick off her ‘Tension’ tour tomorrow (February 15). The pop icon will be performing shows across the UK, Asia and her native Australia. You can find a full list of dates here.
Previously speaking with NME about her tour, Minogue touched upon the more experimental phase of her music in the ’90s – ‘Impossible Princess’, but also 1994’s ‘Kylie Minogue’ and said: “I actually feel like bringing some of that back into the ‘Tension’ tour,” she said, before recalling an older gig when she did a “stupid long version” of her 1994 hit ‘Confide in Me’. “I’ve only mentioned this today because it’s just recently I saw it, like days ago… but [that performance] was a journey and I would love to bring some of that to the tour.”
“So, you’ve got ‘smash, smash, bop, bop, bish, bop, bash’, but there’s a bit of stuff that has some of that ’90s kind of slight, experimental side to it,” Minogue teased.
