ABOUT KYLIE
No one could ever argue with me about what's the best and most successful debut album in the world. With over 6 milion copies sold worldwide, Kylie was the one and only Minogue's debut album on the 4th of July 1988. Produced by the famous hit producing trio Stock, Aitken & Waterman, Kylie lasts only more than thirty minutes. Although it's short length (35:22), Kylie has a strong dance-pop and synth-pop sound and reflects the brilliance of the 80s perfectly.
Already a big star in Australia with the soap opera Neighbours as Charlene, Kylie performed the big hit of the 60s, Locomotion, everybody was moved by her voice and performance. So she's decided to team with Mushroom Records of Australia and recorded the song and released on July 1988. It became a massive hit in her native OZ easily and launched her singing career. After the success of Locomotion, Kylie wanted to record a new song with Stock, Aitken & Waterman and had an appointment in their studio in London. While she was in the lobby of PWL Records, the trio had already forgot that they've had an appointment with her and they needed to give her something and when Matt Aitken told Pete Waterman that ''There's a girl called Kylie flew here from Australia this morning and she needs something from us.'' Pete replied him ''She should be so lucky! Wait! We can go with that. Change it to I Should Be So Lucky!) and they wrote one of her most known and loved song I Should Be So Lucky less than thirty minutes with Kylie repeating the word Lucky more than 60 times in a three minute song. Released on 29 December 1987 as the first single of her first studio album Kylie, I Should Be So Lucky debuted at #1 in the UK, Australia, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan and Switzerland and quickly became one of Kylie Minogue's signature songs.
The cover of the album features Kylie smiling and wearing her iconic hat as the girl-next door image she's represented on Neighbours.Smiley-Kylie was introduced to world with her big hair, big hat, muslin dress that she wore on the video of ''Lucky''.
During the Kylie era, Minogue released 6 singles to promote the record, one of them being the re-recorded version of her very first single Locomotion. Every single release was a top ten hit in her native OZ, UK and around Europe.
