Ina Wroldsen: Last News

Kylie Minogue is finally here with her new single “My Oh My,” featuring Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo.

Kylie Minogue’s viral hit ‘Padam Padam’ was nearly given to Rita Ora, the producer has revealed.The update on the track – which became one of the most popular anthems of summer last year – was shared by producer Lostboy as part of a new interview.Lostboy, who worked with Norwegian songwriter Ina Wroldsen on the song, shared that there were initially doubts whether it would be the right fit for the Australian pop star, and was nearly passed to Rita Ora instead.“We wrote Padam in February 2022 and 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’,” he told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column (via Music News).“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,” he added. “They were trying to make it work but they didn’t think it was for Kylie.”The producer has written and produced multiple hit pop songs over his career, including creating songs for the likes of Dua Lipa, Lewis Capaldi, Anne-Marie, Ellie Goulding and Bebe Rexha.

Todd Gilchrist editor As the platonic ideal of a pop star aging gracefully in her career, Kylie Minogue knows what kind of artist she is and for 35 years has stuck to that identity — and better than that, embraced it. “Tension” is her sixteenth album, and it’s not only as good as the ones she released 10 or 20 or more years ago, it’s just like them: full of shiny, irresistible, easily digestible songs whose sole purpose is to make listeners fall in love and dance, if not always in that order.

It's never been wise to count Kylie Minogue out.
