This Week's Smash Hit: Never Too Late - Kylie Minogue

Another Smiley-Kylie classic Never Too Late, was released on 23 October 1989 as her third single from her second album Enjoy Yourself, making it her last release in the 80s. Such a great closure to the 80s with it's optimistic, feel good lyrics and music. Hitting the charts at #4 in the UK and #1 in Ireland, Never Too Late was another hit. It quickly became a fan favourite. Kylie performed Never Too Late on Enjoy Yourself Tour, On A Night Like This Tour. It was planned to be performed on KylieFever2002 and was in the proposed setlist on the beginning of the act Cybertronica but removed from the revised setlist. Fans wanted her to perform it since On A Night Like This Tour and we've finally got what we wanted on her latest world tour Kiss Me Once Tour. She's got back together with Stock Aitken & Waterman to access the PWL sounds for the Dollhouse section of the tour. So Kylie performed Never Too Late in Dollhouse Medley as the third track after Hand On Your Heart.


COMPOSITION

Never too late was written by Stock, Aitken & Waternan like the rest of the song that were on Enjoy Yourself. The song is about Kylie is being mad about his lover and that it's never too late for them to be together no matter what his lover did to her.


VIDEO

Directed by Pete Cornish, the video was shot against the blue box with Kylie and two back up dancers. The video showed Minogue in various costumes with her dancers in front of various backdrops – some of the costumes are as a cowgirl, '70s disco, Chinese dress with fans and as a 1920s flapper. It was awarded the Logie for the "Most Popular Music Video" at the 32nd Annual TV week Logie Awards held in 1990 in Australia. It's one of my most favourite Kylie videos ever because it reflects the feel of the 80s with it's images and moves.
