“I’m happiest when I feel like I’ve expressed some deep emotion” – Kylie Minogue

On the process of making music, Kylie said: “I’m happiest when I feel like I’ve expressed some deep emotion or thoughts that I’m struggling with and it’s like talking with a friend. Speaking your truth is helpful.”

“When I am able to do that, I like to almost paint it instead of just spilling it out,” she furthermore added. “I like to have some poetry with it to not be entirely obvious.”

Kylie dropped new single ‘Tension’ earlier this month.
