Source-derived summary

Disco is the fifteenth studio album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. BMG and Minogue's company Darenote released it on 6 November 2020 in both digital and physical formats. After finishing her campaign with her previous album Golden (2018), Minogue was inspired by a Studio 54-esque section on her Golden Tour to create a disco-themed album. Early sessions began in 2019–2020, but were temporarily halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread lockdowns. As a result, Minogue continued to work on the album remotely from London, using GarageBand and Logic Pro for the first time.

Disco includes a variety of aesthetics from the same-named genre, interpreting both traditional and modern concepts. Furthermore, escapism and a sense of hope were used as themes throughout the album, with lyrics discussing unity, love, having fun on the dancefloor, and celebration. The album also incorporates various genres from the 1970s to the 2000s, such as dance, funk, and pop music, which were compared to her previous records and other musical acts. Minogue is credited as a songwriter on all tracks and engineered her vocals on a majority of the record herself.

Music critics praised Disco for its production quality, catchiness, fun nature, and innovative approach to disco music.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account.
