Overview
After surprisingly agreeing to take Kylie to new heights on her Kiss Me Once Australian tour, Giorgio Moroder has since announced a trio of his very own shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland.
If you're not familiar with this multi-syllabic name, then you mustn’t have watched The Never Ending Story, Cat People, American Gigolo or Scarface. Because Moroder wrote the soundtracks to all of them, as well as to a long list of other films. And when he wasn't busy making good movies even better in the '70s and '80s, he was casually earning his title as the godfather of disco and transforming electronica into a mainstream thing. Moroder and Donna Summers famously worked together on ‘Love To Love You Baby’, ‘Hot Stuff’ and ‘I Feel Love’. Get the picture? Since then, loads and loads of artists have called on Moroder’s grooves, including Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Cher, Cheap Trick, Pat Benatar and Daft Punk.
But the really cracking news is that, in January, he revealed that he’ll be releasing a solo studio album later this year — the first in thirty years. Titled 74 is the New 24, the album features Kylie, as well as Sia, Mikky Ekko, Britney Spears, Charli XCX and Matthew Koma. The title track's been filling dance floors all over the world, while second single 'Right Here, Right Now', has been hitting the Top Ten in Europe and Australian radio left right and centre.
