Pop icon Kylie Minogue just dropped her brand-new single ‘A Second to Midnight’, co-written and recorded with the brilliant Years & Years. The official video is also out – watch here.
This is the first single to be released from the forthcoming album ‘DISCO: Guest List Edition’, which also features new tracks recorded with disco legend Gloria Gaynor and British pop sensation Jessie Ware, plus last year’s collaboration with Dua Lipa, as well as an incredible array of remixes of tracks from the original album release.
The official video for ‘A Second to Midnight’ is also now out and stars Kylie and Years and Years. It was directed by long-time Kylie collaborator Sophie Muller and filmed at London’s historic Collins’ Music Hall.
“Thank you Years & Years for joining me on this song! I had so much fun channeling my inner Olly in this video – felt like a KING,” says KYLIE MINOGUE. “I’m heading back to the dance floor with the forthcoming ‘Disco: Guest List Edition’”, she added.
“Working with Kylie was a literal dream come true. Her music has consistently inspired me since I was a kid, she is a true icon I am pinching myself this actually happened!!” Olly Alexander (YEARS&YEARS).
This new version of the album follows the barnstorming 2020 release of ‘DISCO’, Kylie’s eighth UK No.1 album, which saw her make chart history once more as the first female artist to have a UK No.1 album in five consecutive decades.
With this brand-new edition Kylie releases new tracks ‘A Second to Midnight’ (with Years & Years) ‘Can’t Stop Writing Songs About You’ (with Gloria Gaynor) and ‘Kiss of Life’ (with Jessie Ware). These new songs will be featured alongside previously unreleased remixes plus established favourites including ‘Real Groove (Studio 2054 Remix)’ with Dua Lipa. ‘A Second to Midnight’ is now available across all digital streaming platforms and a CD version will be available to pre-order here.
Kylie’s new single also tops off a fantastic summer for Years and Years; following an earlier collaboration with Kylie on the remix of hit single ‘Starstruck’ as well a show-stopping performance of the Pet Shop Boys’ classic ‘It’s A Sin’ alongside Elton John at the BRIT Awards.
The new ‘DISCO: Guest List Edition’ album will be available in multiple formats, including digital CD and vinyl. Fans will be able to experience last year’s incredible ‘Infinite Disco’ livestream performance again for the first time ever, with the ‘DISCO: Guest List Edition (Deluxe Limited)’ which is a 3CD, 1 DVD, 1 Blu-ray set.

Thank God for Kylie Minogue’ by Metro in a 5* review and ‘the ultimate rescue remedy’ by The Observer (4*). It featured lead singles ‘Say Something’, which received widespread praise – deemed ‘a galactic slice of pop music heaven’ by i-D – and ‘Magic’, which NME called ‘an exuberant, horn-fueled romp.’
