The Abbey Road Sessions (Kylie Minogue album)

The Abbey Road Sessions is an orchestral compilation album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, released on 24 October 2012 by Parlophone. Primarily produced by Steve Anderson and Colin Elliot, the album features 16 tracks, all radically reworked, spanning Minogue's 25 years in the music industry. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London with Minogue's band and a full orchestra during November 2011. Musically, the album leans toward orchestral music, featuring instrumentation such as guitars, pianos, strings and drums.

The album's only commercial single "Flower", was originally written in 2007 for Minogue’s album "X" but was not included at the time. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many finding the recordings her best vocal delivery to date, while some dismissed her transition to orchestral music. Upon its release, the album entered the top 40 in countries including Minogue's native Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, France and New Zealand. The album peaked at number two in the United Kingdom, where it was certified Silver by the BPI. Minogue then went on to promote the album with live performances.
