KYLIE

Not exactly Taylor Swift – and a mere 20 years after Madonna walked on the sawdust side – Kylie decides to do a Dolly Parton pastiche with her first (and, it’s a fair bet, last) country album. No doubt A Lifetime To Repair – Europop thump meets bar dance hoedown – speaks to painful recent events in Ms Minogue’s personal life. Jack Savoretti is on hand to mop up on the hanky sodden finale and with Raining Glitter, new-found country roots are abandoned to the disco ball. No surprises. File under business as usual.
