Kylie Minogue song about a typeface

Fun fact, if you recognize Nick Cave’s “Where the Wild Roses Grow”, then you have heard Kylie Minogue - she sang in the duet[1][2]. I remember being surprised when I learned about it.

This is also the “murder ballad” that the article refers to.

> In 1995 she collaborated on a murder ballad duet with Nick Cave

Great song though I’m surprised you didn’t immediately recognise her voice in it.

There’s a few an interesting tracks on that album. I quite liked “Death is not the end”, which I think was the last track on Murder Ballards and also features Kylie (amongst a few others).

The album was also called "murder ballads", as it contained murder ballads.

Nick Cave encouraged Kylie to read hear lyrics at a public poetry reading. She got up and read I should be so lucky. I respect her for that

I could imagine how surreal that would be, having the neighbours soap star turned #1 music star, reading at your local poetry jam.
