Impossible Princess (Deluxe Edition)
Read the Pitchfork Review
Australian singer and songwriter Kylie Minogue signed a record deal with Mushroom Records in 1987, and released her debut album Kylie in 1988. The bubblegum pop record was the first collaboration with long-time partners Stock Aitken Waterman, who also wrote and produced her subsequent studio albums Enjoy Yourself (1989), Rhythm of Love (1990), and Let's Get to It (1991). During her years under Deconstruction Records, Minogue released her eponymous fifth album (1994), described as "a sophisticated, stylish dance record" by Digital Spy, on which she collaborated with music producers Brothers in Rhythm. Impossible Princess (1997) saw the singer adopt a more "experimental" approach, with elements of trip hop and electronica, for which she penned every track; the album touches on themes of self-discovery and freedom of expression.
