Kylie Minogue and Years & Years team up with drag icon for ‘A Second To Midnight’ remix
Kylie Minogue has recruited drag icon Jodie Harsh to remix her collaboration with Years & Years, ‘A Second To Midnight’.
The track originally featured on the expanded edition of Minogue’s 15th album ‘Disco’, which was released earlier this year. ‘Disco: Guest List Edition’ also featured new tracks ‘Can’t Stop Writing Songs About You’ (featuring Gloria Gaynor) and ‘Kiss Of Life’ (featuring Jessie Ware).
Speaking about the collaboration, Years & Years’ Olly Alexander said: “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!!”
“I had so much fun channeling my inner Olly in this video – felt like a KING,” added Minogue.
