K25 – the swanky name thought up to promote Kylie’s 25th anniversary in the music industry – is set to kick off at 6am (AEST) tomorrow (Jan 26).
The year-long event marks a quarter century since the pop starlet’s first single Locomotion was released in 1987 and will feature a bunch of “gifts” released to her fans via kylie.com.
To kick off the celebrations, a newly recorded acoustic version of her 1992 song Finer Feelings will hit the site. It’s the first in a series that were all recorded at London’s famous Abbey Road Studios. Fans can expect to see the rest of the records (it’s not mentioned how many) released periodically throughout the year.
However, it’s not all about Kylie giving to her fans. You’ll have to work for some of the gifts. You see, each of these songs has a video to go along with it. If you want to see the first one the twitter hashtag #k25fans has to pop up 25,000 times. That’s a lot, yes, but if you tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and they… well, you get the idea.
