Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue first achieved recognition starring in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Robinson. She gained prominence as a recording artist in the late 1980s and released four bubblegum and dance-pop-influenced studio albums produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. By the early 1990s, she had amassed several top ten singles in the UK and Australia, including "I Should Be So Lucky", "The Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart", and "Better the Devil You Know". Taking more creative control over her music, Minogue signed with Deconstruction Records in 1993 and released Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997), both of which received positive reviews. She returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with 2000's Light Years, including the number-one hits "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". The follow-up, Fever (2001), was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album to date. Two of its singles, "Love at First Sight" and "In Your Eyes", became hits, but its lead single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" became one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million units.
Minogue continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the Lovers", "Santa Baby", "Timebomb" and "Dancing". With her 2020 album DISCO, she became the first female artist to have a chart-topping album in the UK for five consecutive decades. Minogue made her film debut in The Delinquents (1989) and portrayed Cammy in Street Fighter (1994). She has also appeared in the films Moulin Rouge! (2001), Jack & Diane, Holy Motors (2012) and San Andreas (2015). In 2014, she appeared as a judge on the third series of The Voice UK and The Voice Australia. Her other ventures include product endorsements, children's books, fashion, and charitable work.
Minogue was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2008 New Year Honours for services to music. She was appointed by the French government as a Chevalier (knight) of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for her contribution to the enrichment of French culture. In 2005, while Minogue was on tour, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Health Science (D.H.Sc.) degree by Anglia Ruskin University in 2011 for her work in raising awareness for breast cancer. At the 2011 ARIA Music Awards, she was inducted by the Australian Recording Industry Association into the ARIA Hall of Fame. She was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours.

Finer Feelings
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[1a:]
You can't give to me
Anything
I couldn't get for myself
I have needs as much as any man
And I understand the feelings well
[1b:]
I can still have a true heart
With a free mind
A good life
With a good time
[CHORUS:]
But what is love
Without the finer feelings
It's just sex
Without the sexual healing
Passion dies
Without some tender meanings
It ain't love
Without the finer feelings
[2:]
I get passionate
Just like you
But I have a little self-control
You just show your selfish attitude
Your emotion leaves me cold
[1b:]
[CHORUS:]
[BRIDGE:]
The finer, the finer
The finer feelings
[3:]
(I can still have a true heart) it ain't love
(With a free mind) it ain't love
(A good life)
(With a good time) feelings
[CHORUS:]
(repeat & fade)
In Kylie Minogue's song, "Finer Feelings," the singer explains that while she can love just like any other person, she requires more than just the physical aspect of it. She asserts that while she understands the physical pleasure that comes with sex, there's a need for the emotional and mental connection in love. The lyrics "But what is love without the finer feelings? It's just sex without the sexual healing. Passion dies without some tender meanings" shows that Kylie yearns for more than just sex but wants to feel the love that comes with it.
More so, Kylie opens up about how her partner may be showing less affection, leading to her feeling cold towards them. The lyrics "You just show your selfish attitude, your emotion leaves me cold" explain how the lack of emotion from her partner is making her feel, leading to her yearning for the finer feelings that come with love. Kylie concludes that even though she's after the finer feelings, she can still have a good life and good times, which are essential to her.
Line by Line Meaning
You can't give to me
I don't need you to give me anything
Anything
I can get everything I need myself
I couldn't get for myself
You're not essential to my happiness
I have needs as much as any man
I have desires like anyone else
And I understand the feelings well
I am fully aware of my emotions
I can still have a true heart
I can still be genuine and caring
With a free mind
Without being constrained by your expectations
A good life
One that is fulfilling and enjoyable
With a good time
Full of positive experiences and memories
But what is love
Love is more than just physical attraction
Without the finer feelings
It's lacking the deeper emotional aspects
It's just sex
It becomes shallow and meaningless
Without the sexual healing
Without the intimate connection and affection
Passion dies
The intense feelings fade away
Without some tender meanings
Without the tender and loving gestures
It ain't love
It falls short of true love
I get passionate
I can be just as intense as you
Just like you
We both have emotions
But I have a little self-control
I have the ability to regulate my emotions
Your emotion leaves me cold
Your selfishness is unappealing to me
(I can still have a true heart) it ain't love
Love is not just about having a good heart
(With a free mind) it ain't love
It also involves freedom and independence
(A good life)
One that is fulfilling and meaningful
(With a good time) feelings
Full of positive emotions and experiences
