The Blessed Madonna and Kylie Minogue have teamed up for a new single.
Edge Of Saturday Night delivers a soundtrack for weekend warriors via hip-shaking beats and a dynamic vocal performance from the Australian star. It will feature on the American DJ and producer's debut album, 'Godspeed', which is due for release on October 11. Explaining how the song came to life, The Blessed Madonna said:
“This story is about edges. When I was given the opportunity to begin an album, we were on the edge of lockdown. When I sat down to write lyrics for the very first time, I was on the edge of a brand new life. When I programmed and wrote the music that would become this song, I was on the edge of the next big leap into producing. When I made the friends, who became the lifeblood of this record, I was on the edge of a world of love and creativity that I barely hoped to dream of.
"And so it’s fitting that this song is about an equally important edge in my life. It was a morning that magically turned into night. It was a dawn when instead of the party ending, we shut the blinds and began again. It might have been a beautiful February Monday, but in a very special room in Berlin, we found ourselves again on the edge of a Saturday night.
"But that’s just where the story begins.
"You see, then there was Kylie. Yes THE Kylie. When she came into my life through this song, it was even more surprising than dawn turning to dusk. She breathed an energy into Edge and into me. So here we are together, Marge and Kiki… and all of you are invited.
"Start again.
"Shut the blinds.
"Let the music save your life.
"We’re on the edge of a Saturday night.”
“Almost 30 years after my first stay at Pikes Hotel in Ibiza, it was a total joy to revisit this iconic destination," added Kylie. "I loved sharing this unforgettable moment with The Blessed Madonna and am so happy the excitement and energy of this hot August club adventure was captured in the video for ‘Edge Of Saturday Night’. I was so delighted to be asked by Marea to be part of this track and can’t wait for fans to hear it."
As well as Minogue, the record boasts collaborations with DJ Eclyps, Chicago house producer Jamie Principle, British singer-songwriter Joy Crookes, and more.
