The Blessed Madonna and Kylie combine on new single ‘Edge Of Saturday Night’. The song appears on The Blessed Madonna’s forthcoming artist album ‘Godspeed’, and it took almost four years to complete. The producer wrestled with the idea during countless studio sessions, but it took a chance encounter with Kylie Minogue to provide the missing piece of the puzzle.
The two had been working remotely, and met for the first time in Ibiza last month – with Kylie scaling the DJ booth at DC-10 during The Blessed Madonna’s set at Circoloco . Out now, ‘Edge Of Saturday Night’ is a crisp piece of electronic glamour, with The Blessed Madonna fusing those disco and house influences into something potent. Kylie can’t put a foot wrong right now, and her vocal is pitch perfect, lifting the song to a new level.
Introducing the song, The Blessed Madonna writes: This story is about edges . When I was given the opportunity to begin an album, we were on the edge of lockdown. When I sat down to write lyrics for the very first time, I was on the edge of a brand new life.
When I programmed and wrote the music that would become this song, I was on the edge of the next big leap into producing. When I made the friends, who became the lifeblood of this record, I was on the edge of a world of love and creativity that I barely hoped to dream of. And so it’s fitting that this song is about an equally important edge in my life.
It was a morning that magically turned into night. It was a dawn when instead of the party ending, we shut the blinds and began again. It might have been a beautiful February Monday, but in a very special room in Berlin, we found ourselves again on the edge of a Saturday night.
But that’s just where the story begins. You see, then there was Kylie. Yes THE Kylie.
When she came into my life through this song, it was even more surprising than dawn turning to dusk. She breathed an energy into Edge and into me. So here we are together, Marge and Kiki.
.. and all of you are invited.
Start again. Shut the blinds. Let the music save your life.
We’re on the edge of a Saturday night. Tune in now..
