The Blessed Madonna and Kylie unveil "Edge of Saturday Night"
The Blessed Madonna has joined forces with Kylie on the brand new single, "Edge Of Saturday Night".
Teased for the last few weeks and while the duo were together in Ibiza, "Edge Of Saturday Night" was first conceived as an idea on the cusp of lockdown back in 2020 and inspired by a DJ set in Berlin. The song took almost four years to fully crystalise as a record, with the addition of Kylie’s vocals breathing new life into the track — now a centrepiece of The Blessed Madonna’s forthcoming debut album, Godspeed.
“This story is about edges”, explains The Blessed Madonna. “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," she continues. "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."
Kylie adds: “Almost 30 years after my first stay at Pikes Hotel in Ibiza, it was a total joy to revisit this iconic destination. I loved sharing this unforgettable moment with The Blessed Madonna and am so happy the excitement and energy of this hot August club adventure was captured in the video for ‘Edge Of Saturday Night’. I was so delighted to be asked by Marea to be part of this track and can’t wait for fans to hear it."
Godspeed is set for release on 11 October, and is available to pre-order now.
