]]>The post Kylie Minogue’s Smash Hit “Padam Padam” Was Almost Performed By Rita Ora appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Lostboy recalled co-writing “Padam Padam” with Ina Wroldsen in early 2022 in a recent interview with The Sun and revealed that the label wasn’t sure if Minogue was the right fit for this song.
“There were maybe four or five months of us sitting on it, then I sent it to their label, and someone suggested to me, ‘Kylie would kill this.’ They were unsure and there was a moment when Rita was going to cut it and it was worming around a few artists on that label,” said Lostboy.
He praised Minogue’s take, saying he was surprised by how confident she was that she could make the song her own, while also putting a modern twist on it.
“Padam Padam” was released in May last year as a lead single from Minogue’s last studio album Tension. It became a true viral phenomenon on social media, hit the top ten in several countries around the world, and scored a Grammy nod for the best pop dance recording.

]]>Tension hit the shelves on September 22 and easily soared to No. 1 in the UK, with 53,239 album-equivalent units earned. It’s Minogue fourth consecutive No. 1 album in this country and ninth overall, making her the third female artist with the most UK number-one albums, behind Madonna with 12 and Taylor Swift with 10.
The success of Tension can largely be credited to its lead single “Padam Padam”. This song became a surprise viral hit following its release in May, and Minogue said she was both surprised and grateful after seeing it find a huge audience on TikTok.
“I’ve been so touched and amazed at people’s ingenuity, passion, and humor. We all had high hopes for the song, but I don’t think any of us expected it to take off the way it did as a viral hit. So I’m going along with the ride and we’ve had to pivot as well – because it was unexpected,” she told Music Week.

]]>Minogue reflected on her past Las Vegas performances during a press conference in Los Angeles and explained why now felt like the perfect time for a bigger and more personal show in Sin City.
“I was thinking years ago I want to do it when I’m younger like, I don’t want to do it when I’m at the sunset of my career. So, I think I’ve got it right somewhere in the middle where I feel like I’ve earned the right to and have the experience to really enjoy being there,” said Minogue.
The Australian singer also said that she wants her Las Vegas residency to capture the glamour and abandon of her shows and feature reinterpretations of her biggest hits, along with live bed dances and amazing costumes.

]]>In an official statement teasing her new album, the Australian superstar explained she started working on it with an open mind and a blank page, without a specific theme in mind.
“It was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song. I wanted to celebrate each song’s individuality and dive into that freedom. I would say it’s a blend of personal reflection, club abandon, and melancholic high,” said Minogue.
She also revealed that the album’s tracklist will mostly consist of euphoric, empowered dance floor bangers and sultry pop cuts. She worked closely with her long-time collaborators, Biff Stannard and Duck Blackwell, on this record and they ended up producing and co-writing seven of the tracks.
Tension will be released on September 22, and it will feature a total of 11 songs, including its upcoming lead single “Padam Padam”. This will mark Minogue’s first LP sing Disco in 2020, which saw her return to her original disco-oriented sound.
