Description:
Between her late 1980s reign as the "I Should Be So Lucky" Aussie soap star turned pop princess and her iconic re-emergence, Kylie Minogue had an altogether different kind of pop career. In the mid-1990s, she released two exquisitely sophisticated albums, both simply titled Kylie Minogue, for the dance label Deconstruction.

Although the title is somewhat misleading given that the albums from which the tracks come were commercial flops, it's not overstating the case to say that with the likes of "Breath
Between her late 1980s reign as the "I Should Be So Lucky" Aussie soap star turned pop princess and her iconic re-emergence, Kylie Minogue had an altogether different kind of pop career.
