It seems like there’s something of a collision between the marketing campaign led BRAT SUMMER and a genuine need for a bit of loose hedonism after years of austerity all over the world. Recreational drugs, disposable cameras, smart-trashiness, alcopops, ruining your shoes and dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing.
Whether you think this has been ushered in by Charli XCX, Confidence Man or the return of underground dance clubs, is really a moot point because it’s all gravitating toward the same thing. Fun. So with that, Kylie and Blessed Madonna have joined in with a track that’s a very natural fit for all this and feels very right.
The Blessed Madonna has already released a big housey doof doofer [have a listen] and teaming up with Kylie, you’ll hear a track that also doof doofs in a very satisfying way, but lyrically, it is remarkable that Kylie still knows what a night out filled with mistakes and daftness feels like. The Blessed Madonna’s debut LP ‘Godspeed’ is out in October, and the pair have had a ball in Pikes Hotel for the video.
“Almost 30 years after my first stay at Pikes Hotel in Ibiza, it was a total joy to revisit this iconic destination,” Kylie says. “I loved sharing this unforgettable moment with The Blessed Madonna and am so happy the excitement and energy of this hot August club adventure was captured in the video for ‘Edge Of Saturday Night’.”
