Neon Nights presents the glorious collision of two of global entities – HURTS & Kylie Minogue.

When asked how the collaboration came about, Theo Hutchcraft explained: “A few weeks ago we finished our album, but it did not feel complete. We have written an album, mainly about women, which felt lost without the salvation of a woman.”

He added: “We wrote a song about infidelity called ‘Devotion’. Since we have enjoyed an illicit life-long love affair with Kylie Minogue, we mustered up every ounce of courage we had and asked her if she would like to sing the song with us. She said yes. The delicate yet powerful way she expresses the fragility of female emotion has added a magical missing ingredient to an album about love, loss and happiness. If you don’t ask, you don’t get… I guess.”

Such is their love for the Australian pint sized dynamo, Hurts went on to record a performance of Kylie’s 1994 smash hit, “Confide in Me”, for newspaper The Sun’s website, and has since been a regular inclusion on their gig setlists. Kylie later returned the compliment by recording a performance of Hurts’ “Wonderful Life”, in Radio 1’s Live Lounge.
