The Kiss Me Once era already feels a little swept under the carpet, doesn’t it, but I loved it; and Into The Blue is the song I put at No1 on my year-end singles list in 2014.

In my opinion Kylie Minogue‘s most under-rated single, I love Into The Blue’s nervous-but-determined energy; the throbbing synths underneath the delicate high-pitched vocals nailing that angsty feeling that comes with making big, bold #lifechoices.

Actually TRIVIA ALERT it was the song I listened to on repeat this summer when I went freelance. I was on the DLR home after my final actual-employment shift, wistfully looking out the window, getting funny looks, feeling my basic little EMOTIONS.
