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.

Nu-Di-Ty
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just pop that zipper for me and then whip that thing out
Just expose it, 'cause you know it's alright
(Stretch it out baby, you take your time now)
(Gotta keep it up with me)
Just expose it, 'cause you know it's alright
(Gotta keep it up with me)
The lyrics to Kylie Minogue's song "Nu-di-ty" can be interpreted as a call to let go of societal norms and embrace one's true self. The opening lines, "Time to strip down, time to strip down," can be seen as a metaphor for shedding layers of inhibition and revealing one's innermost desires. The following line, "Just pop that zipper for me and then whip that thing out," may seem explicit, but could also be seen as a way of saying, "let your true nature be revealed." The next lines, "Just expose it, 'cause you know it's alright" and "Stretch it out baby, you take your time now," may be interpreted as urging listeners to embrace themselves fully and take their time in doing so. The refrain, "Gotta keep it up with me," could be a metaphor for staying true to oneself and pursuing one's passions.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to embrace their true selves, free from the constraints of society. It can be seen as a celebration of nudity, both physical and emotional, and an invitation to be comfortable in one's own skin.

I like it
N-u-d-i-t-y (let me, let me see)
N-u-d-i-t-y
Hang your coat up, hang your coat up
Lock the doors up, lock the doors up
Let the steam rise dim the spotlights
Alright, alright (are you ready to let it go tonight?)
Do your own thing, with your own thing
Sh-shake your hip bones, get 'em full swing
Who cares who's watching now?
(look - looking looking wow)
Flash it in fashion with me
Skin to skin, body to body
Dare to bare, let me let me see
Nu-di-ty
Nu nu di di di ty
Nu-di-ty
Time to strip down, time to strip down
Just pop a zipper for me and
then work that thing out
Just expose it
Cuz you know it's alright, alright
Are you ready to let it go tonight? (tonight)
Let it go, here we go
Just let it slip and slide
That's right here we go
One button at a time
Who cares who sees tonight?
(look - looking looking wow)
Flash it in fashion with me
Skin to skin, body to body
Dare to bare, let me let me see
Nu-di-ty
Flash it in fashion with me
Skin to skin, body to body
Dare to bare, let me let me see
Nu-di-ty

Love this song, it sounds experimental and very futuristic. One of my faves from the record, the chorus in particular is infectiously catchy. This and Speakerphone would have been great club bangers and great singles, apart from "2 Hearts" and "In My Arms" Kylie didn't release the right singles from "X".

xxxTIN0xxx The One was good and wow. They are fucking iconic

2 Hearts was an awful single choice, tanked the album.

@LEYENDA FLACA exactly. If anything the problem was 2 Hearts

My best friends and I love this song. We love how its equally sexy as it is Campy. It’s everything! I personally also love the production. In particular, I love the trombone at the end of the chorus. Reminds me of how in vintage movies they’d use a trombone whenever someone scandalous was on screen. The “Nu-Di-Ty” at 2:18 always gets me though. The production reminds me of how Eva spoke in Wall-E . I also am very surprised by how straightforwardly sexual the lyrics are! Like wow! Can’t believe she got away with this in 2007. Granted, a lot of songs were pretty straightforward with their sexuality, but it’s strange because songs nowadays are arguably more sexual, yet less upfront about it, If that makes sense.

Avant's team has that futuristic sound blare that defined the mid 2000's pop. Love finding gems like this. I know a few others if you're looking for similar bops haha
