Kylie Minogue and The Blessed Madonna Drop Liberating Weekend Anthem, “Edge of Saturday Night”
Coaxing even the most reluctant souls to embrace the highs of the weekend, The Blessed Madonna has joined forces with dance-pop icon Kylie Minogue for a new single, "Edge Of Saturday Night."
The track is an invocation of the timeless thrill that comes with shedding the week's burdens and dancing into the freedom of the night. The dazzling collaboration, announced with palpable excitement by both artists in a candid Instagram post following its debut at Ibiza's Circoloco, blends radiant pop sensibility with a heartbeat of uplifting house music.
The track opens with bright, twangy pluck synths that dance like fireflies in the dusk, setting the stage for a night brimming with promise. Minogue's voice glides in with the poetic declaration, "Monday doesn't matter at all," a line that instantly grounds us in the song's ethos: living for the weekend, cutting loose and making the most of the present moment.
As the track unfolds, pirouetting piano chords cascade through the mix, perfectly complementing Minogue’s concise and articulate lyrical delivery. Meanwhile, The Blessed Madonna's bubbling house production ebbs and flows with life, its effervescent rhythms beckoning us to live in the moment.

Due out on October 11th, the album comprises 24 tracks and includes collaborations with A-Trak, Joy Anonymous and house music icon Jamie Principle, among others.
"Godspeed: the word marks the beginning of a journey and sometimes the end of one," The Blessed Madonna said in a statement. "After nearly a year in lockdown, when I signed the paperwork and knew that I was going to be allowed to make this album, I called my dad in Kentucky to tell him the good news. He could not contain his pride and in a way his relief. I was going to be ok. He says it better than I do at the beginning of the record. I lost him suddenly just weeks before the first session, but his voice will live in Godspeed forever and make a million more journeys to everyone who hears it."
