Article: Kylie Minogue wins second Grammy Award for Best Pop Dance Recording

 

Today, award-winning global superstar Kylie Minogue has won her second GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Dance Recording for ‘Padam Padam’ off Tension, her eighth #1 album in Australia.

This is one of three new GRAMMY categories announced by The Recording Academy this year. ‘Padam Padam’ – written by Ina Wroldsen and produced by Lostboy (Griff, Anne-Marie, Tiesto) – encapsulates everything you love about Kylie. From the euphoric vocals, to the ridiculously infectious chorus and the heart-thumping electronic drum beat. It’s an instant Kylie classic. The win follows her previous win for Best Dance Recording in 2004 for ‘Come Into My World’ and was her 6th GRAMMY nomination. It follows her ARIA win for Best Pop Release for ‘Padam Padam’. Kylie is also nominated for a BRIT Award for International Artist of the Year and in March, Kylie will take the stage at Billboard’s Women in Music to accept the prestigious Icon Award.

This year, Kylie took over the world with her viral pop anthem ‘Padam Padam’, which many proclaimed as the song of the summer, and released her acclaimed 16th studio album Tension, which Variety called “pop perfection” and Pitchfork said “Kylie’s music possesses an intense physicality; energizing in a way that bypasses the head and appeals directly to the heart and body”. The hit single has amassed over 225 million streams and over 500 million views across over 150k creations on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

In 2023, Kylie kicked off her highly anticipated Las Vegas Residency at Voltaire - The Venetian Resort’s new nightlife sensation. Blurring the lines between an intimate club, concert, and non-stop entertainment venue, Voltaire is ushering in a new destination nightlife scene with Kylie at the forefront in an exclusive US residency.

Kylie’s glittering career has seen her amass sales of over 80 million records worldwide, five billion streams and eight #1 albums in Australia. Her multiple awards include 18 ARIA Awards, three BRIT awards, two MTV Awards and now, two GRAMMY Awards.

Review: Chicago // Crossroads Live

Get ready to experience All That Jazz in Crossroads Live's production of Chicago at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre! This delectable production is a stunning recreation of the world-renowned Bob Fosse's original show based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins.  Every element of this production was cool and calculated, from the sultry costume design to the impressive lighting, the creative team has clearly worked hard to create this fantastic story. Most of this production is a recreation of the Broadway version giving Australia its very own slice of New York, and Crossroads Live's production lives up to the big white way.  Technical elements were stunning, utilisng patterned lights to create the jail cell, visitors room, and murder the lighting design really helped the audience to understand the setting and place in this bare staged production.

Review: Carrie The Musical - Phoenix Ensemble

  Written by Gabriel Besa We’re back in high school but this time we’re attending Chamberlain High. Here, we meet any high school trope you can think of while also singing and dancing about the high school experience. Carrie: the Musical is based off the Stephen King novel that Phoenix Ensemble then brought to their stage. Phoenix Ensemble is full of creatives that have previously done shows like Footloose, Sweeney Todd, and The Spongebob Musical.  Carrie White is a misfit. At school, she's an outcast who's bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she's at the mercy of her loving but cruelly over-protective mother.

Set in the present in the small New England town of Chamberlain, Maine, Carrie: The Musical features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen (screenwriter of the classic film), music by Academy Award winner Michael Gor...
