caption_attribution_description: Kylie Minogue - Kiss Me Once Tour - Sheffield - 13.11.14. - 006 (performing Les Sex)
context_page_description: Kiss Me Once is the twelfth studio album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, released on 14 March 2014 by Parlophone. It is her first studio release since 2010's Aphrodite, and marks Minogue's first and only album with Roc Nation, handled by American rapper and businessman Jay-Z. They both enlisted several songwriters and producers such as Sia, Cutfather, Greg Kurstin, Pharrell Williams, and MNEK. Musically, it was recognised by music critics as Minogue's return to contemporary pop music, incorporating musical elements of dance-pop, disco, electropop, and R&B. Lyrically, the songs focus on themes such as romance, sex, self-empowerment, and having fun.
  Upon its release, Kiss Me Once received generally favorable reviews from most music critics. The majority of them complimented Minogue's charm and vocal delivery, alongside her return to contemporary pop music. However, critics were polarised towards the content and production; some felt the material was fun, but majority dismissed its memorability and felt it lacked innovation on Minogue's behalf.
context_section_description: A month prior to the album's release on 14 March 2014, she released an album sampler that excluded both the bonus tracks "Mr. President" and "Sleeping With the Enemy". Minogue first promoted the album with a performance on The Voice UK, where she served as a judge for season 3, and an appearance on The Graham Norton Show on 4 April, where she sung "Into the Blue". Three days later, she performed the track "I Was Gonna Cancel" at the 2014 Logie Awards, Minogue's first appearance in 25 years. However, critical reaction towards the performance was generally negative, mainly aimed towards the choreography and accused her of lip-syncing, which she later denied a day later. In June, she later performed on the Australian Today Show, where she sung "Into the Blue" and album track "Sexy Love".
  That same month, Minogue announced her Kiss Me Once Tour, which commenced on 24 September 2014. The concert tour started in the United Kingdom, traveled through Europe and finished the leg in Australia on 21 March 2015; she performed in Dubai to promote the Dubai World Cup. The concert tour attracted positive reviews from publications, praising the visuals, wardrobe and Minogue's performance, but minor criticism was aimed at the stage production. The concert tour was a commercial success, which achieved $17 million throughout ticket sales in Europe, and an additional $4 million throughout Australia. To promote the concert tour, an accompanying live album and concert DVD was released on 23 March 2015, and was shot in Glasgow, Scotland.
