Book Synopsis

Kylie Minogue's self-titled debut album produced hits, controversy and a perfect mainstream storm. The then soap and children's television star crossed over' to music with hit writer/producers SAW and the shamelessly commercial approach of all involved saw the real' music industry get its back up. This book interrogates the way that commercial pop albums are remembered in both the popular music press and in academic research. Is there a way of dealing with mainstream' pop without denigrating the music and (just as importantly) without validating it according to the terms of a high art' canon? This text sheds light on the way that notions of mainstream' and other' play out in a local contextspecifically, Australia and New Zealand music on a global stage.
