Impossible Princess

Pop · 1997 · 10 tracks

Impossible Princess

A radical pivot into trip-hop, jungle, and indie rock. Introspective, dark, and sonically dense, this is the sound of a pop icon breaking her own mold.

It's the dark, experimental 90s trip-hop record Kylie made when she stopped trying to be a perfect pop star.

A restless and introspective exploration of identity set against a backdrop of dark electronic textures.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The frantic, high-speed jungle breaks of 'Too Far' clashing against a panicked, spoken-word delivery.

The way the bassline in 'Breathe' anchors a swirling, hypnotic atmosphere of digital delay and sighs.

The sudden, jarring shift into distorted indie-rock grit during the climax of 'Did It Again'.
