Kylie Minogue The Voice Australia
Minogue has recorded a single – which could clinch the Christmas number one spot – with James Corden, to feature on her upcoming festive album, according to reports.
"James recorded the track in secret with Kylie after she asked him to feature," a source told The Sun.
"It was meant to be the jokey song on the album but producers were so impressed there's a strong chance it's going to be the lead single. James is a very good singer and the song is actually a great listen."
