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.

Looking for an Angel
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's meant to be
I dream of the moment
You'll be with me
'Cause I wanna look down now
I wanna get deeper
Can you let me in?
To be my keeper
I'm waiting for my Seraphim
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm looking for an angel
For an angel
For an angel
Yeah, I'm looking for an angel
For an angel
For an angel
My heart is ready
My mind is open
My body's aching
I wait for you
'Cause I wanna rise up now
Don't wanna be earthbound
Reach up to the sky
Into the distance
And the future
It's waiting for me in your eyes
Looking for an angel
For an angel
For an angel
Yeah, I'm looking for an angel
For an angel
For an angel
(I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you)
[Chorus]
And when good things are good
I want to share them
I don't want to be alone
And when darkness falls
Will you hear my call
And show me the way back home?
'Cause I want this life
To be twice as nice
With somebody by my side
So I dream of things
Like your golden wings
When you carry me and fly
'Cause I wanna look down now
I wanna get deeper
Can you let me in?
To show me places
To be my keeper
I'm waiting for my Seraphim
I'm looking for an angel
For an angel
Looking for an angel
Yeah, I'm looking for an angel
For an angel
Looking for an angel
Oh, I'm looking for an angel
For an angel
Looking for an angel
(I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you)
Yeah, I'm looking for an angel
For an angel
Looking for an angel
(I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you)
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
In the song, "Looking for an Angel," Kylie Minogue expresses her desire to find a spiritual connection with someone she can rely on. The lyrics showcase the yearning for a deep emotional and spiritual bond that she has yet to experience but believes is possible. The use of the term "Seraphim" refers to angels in the highest order, further highlighting the level of connection Minogue seeks.
Minogue states that she is ready and open for this connection to happen. She sings, "My heart is ready, my mind is open, my body's aching, I wait for you." She wants to rise above her earthly life and reach for something higher, beyond the limitations of the physical world. Minogue believes that with a spiritual connection, she can experience life twice as nice, and in the darkness of life, this connection will guide her back to the light.
The use of the word "angel" can also signify a person who provides comfort and guidance. Minogue's longing for an angel can be interpreted as her search for a mentor or guide who can provide her with wisdom and support. The lyrics showcase her vulnerability and her desire for a deep emotional understanding with someone.

I'm eagerly anticipating your arrival
Looking for an angel
Searching for a divine guide
