00:00 We're already talking with Kylie Minogue who showed up in "Param Red" as she calls it.
00:06 So were you surprised to see how much of a cultural impact your song has had?
00:11 Absolutely, yeah. I mean you hope for the best with this song and the video and everything,
00:16 but I think there's just certain moments where it all comes together and you try to do that.
00:23 It just doesn't always hit, but in this instance, yeah, it did more than any of us could have hoped for.
00:32 100% and you've been the long-time queen pioneer of disco pop, dance floor pop.
00:37 What do you think it is that the newer artists today are reconnecting with music like that?
00:43 We see it in like a Dua Lipa and those type of artists.
00:46 Music is cyclic and we're all trying to put something new in. Everything's referenced, literally everything.
00:53 I've just been doing this long enough now that I've become a reference as well.
01:00 So yeah, I think if you haven't experienced it the first time around, therefore it has a freshness.
01:05 Is there a genre that you're hoping to explore in your career at some point?
01:09 I did a song with Nick Cave which was back in the 90s.
01:16 It was quite alternative. It was a murder ballad.
01:20 That'll do it.
01:23 I enjoy a lot of indie folk.
01:27 Love that.
01:28 Which I haven't really done myself. I don't think I've ever said that out loud, but that would be fun.
01:34 I'm hoping to see it.
01:35 Maybe not as an entire album, but a little taste.
01:38 I think we'd all love that.
01:40 Lastly, you were in the red. You got me in the Valentine's Day spirit.
01:43 What is the perfect Valentine's Day date?
01:45 Oh, a successful one.
01:50 The pressure is immense.
01:54 I'll probably be having a self-care Valentine's.
01:59 I love that.
02:00 Which is also very important.
02:01 Self-love is love.
02:03 And to be celebrated.
02:04 100%.
02:05 Thank you, Kylie. You're an icon. I love you.
