Sure, the tracks sparkling chorus When I go out, I wanna go out dancing!
is a welcome addition to getting-ready playlists.
Also different this time around?

I may have even said a silent prayer.
I remember clasping my hands and going, I just wantonesong!
Three would be great, but I really need one!
I was so excited about my trip to Nashville.
I was thinking, God, am I going to make it?
I really need to get out there!
So I must have had this feeling or strong hope that it would do something.
Anybody who had spoke so glowingly about it.
It was such a sense of community, I felt welcomed before I even arrived.
You have that spirit there.
Its something thats going to stay with me forever.
Yeah, that was with [producer] Stuart Price [who worked on 2010sAphrodite].
Most people are tip-tapping away at their computers these days.
She said, Do you mind if I have a look at what youve written down?
I learned a lot.
Theyre in and out of there all the time.
I think that really helped me bridge the gap.
This album marks the first time since 1997sImpossible Princessthat youve co-written every song.
I had to say goodbye to a couple songs I was really fond of.
But on this occasion, I was conscious about wanting everything to be authentic.
Did that tradition speak to you in particular?It really did.
Ive said its like being at the altar of the song.
The song is king and queen.
It was a writing mission, not a producing mission.
Whatever songs were written there, they could have been produced in any way.
But I didnt want to make an album that sounds like that.
Thats demonstrated in Dancing, where you have electronic sounds and cut-up vocals.
You could just do anotherAnti Tourand perform everything campfire-style.I would be in heaven!
That was so much fun.
Ill take my time in Nashville and my experience making this album with me into the future.
I cant unlearn that stuff, and to tell a story is a beautiful thing.
Thats not to say I wont do [less conceptual] songs in the future.
I dont want to sound like Im discrediting songs that are otherwise.
And actually, some of the simple things are the hardest to do.
If I could have 10 more Cant Get You Out of My Heads, Ill take them.
They just dont come around that often.
I also found the vocal delivery on this album really different.
The verses are a bit more talk-singing and kind of relaxed.
They still have big choruses, but I enjoyed doing those differently.
I didnt do that many takes.
We liked the imperfection, the human quality to it.
I cant wait to work on these songs live.
I havent performed any of them yet.
I dont know yet.
Then the director, Sophie Muller, got very excited about that part of the song.
Its just a fact of life, isnt it?
Its about how we deal with the life we have.
But When the final curtain calls could be about the end of the show!
So it is and it isnt about death.
Yeah, I love that [Dancing] doesnt hit you over the head.
For a lot of people, it dawns on them slowly.
Its almost like Halloween.
I know it has its own importance, but its translated as beautiful, dark, sparkling dress-up.
You could go to all different levels about it: You only see sparkling things in the darkness.
We wanted to keep it shiny and gorgeous and dreamy, and thats a Sophie Muller special.
Some of your fans have already tweeted about how they want Dancing played at their funeral.
That must be an unusual honor.Oh my gosh, thats the first time Ive heard that.
