Kylie Minogue & Gloria Gaynor 'Can't Stop Writing Songs About You' by Sophie Muller
Rob Ulitski - 4th Apr 2022
Hold on to your horses as two disco divas unite on the dancefloor - via the magic of music video - as Kylie gets together with none other than Gloria Gaynor, of I Will Survive fame, in Sophie Muller's dazzling video for Can't Stop Writing Songs About You.Â
On a glittering runway, it's vintage disco vibes as we see Kylie and her crew strut their stuff under scintillating lights, with a lo-fi aesthetic that looks ripped straight from the clubkid era.Â
Gaynor appears in a separate performance vignette, backdropped by the night sky and overlaid with hypnotising effects and soft pastel silhouettes - which feels reminiscent of another iconic Muller video, for No Doubt's Simple Kind Of Life. And its art directed by her longtime collaborator, production designer Alison Dominitz. Â
Once again Sophie has also teamed with Theo Adams, whose company of performers provides Kylie's world with that extra pinch of pizzazz, and the result is a powerhouse visual for an irresistable track, pairing very nicely with previous Muller-Minogue videos for her other collabs on the new version of her Disco album - with Olly of Years & Years on A Second To Midnight, and with Jessie Ware on the telenovela-style Kiss Of Life.Â
