"Right Here, Right Now"
Song

"Right Here, Right Now" is a song recorded by Italian producer Giorgio Moroder, with vocals by Kylie Minogue, for Moroder's upcoming studio album 74 is the New 24. The song has charted in many European countries, reaching the Top 10 in Belgium, the Top 20 in Finland and the Top 40 in Spain.

Background

"Right Here, Right Now" is the lead single from Giorgio Moroder's studio album 74 is the New 24, following a promotional release of a single bearing the same name of the album. Recorded in 2014, it features guest vocals from Kylie Minogue. The song was leaked on 16 January 2015 and subsequently released digitally on 20 January.[1] "Right Here, Right Now" was produced by Moroder and Patrick Jordan-Patrikios , and written by Moroder, Patrick Jordan-Patrikios, Karen Poole and David Etherington.[1][2] The song was mixed by Mitch McCarthy at Owl Foot Ranch in Los Angeles, California.

Announced in November, 74 Is The New 24 features contributions from artists such as Minogue, Britney Spears, Sia, Charli XCX, Mikky Ekko, Foxes and Matthew Koma.[3] Moroder's forthcoming album is his first studio release in over 30 years.

Kylie Minogue has previously recorded a different song with the same name; her fourth studio album Let's Get to It (1991) featured a song called "Right Here, Right Now".[4]

Reception

"Right Here, Right Now" has largely accrued positive reviews from critics. Billboard magazine described the "pulsating pop/dance track" as part of a "renaissance" of Giorgio Moroder.[1] Many media outlets opined that the song was a strong collaboration between Moroder and Minogue. Nolan Freeney of Time magazine stated that the collaboration worked well, noting that the song sounded like could have appeared on Minogue's last studio album Kiss Me Once (2014). Freeney said: "Thanks the track's deep vocoder-like hiccups, it's clear Moroder has no problem updating his sound after all these decades." Stefan Kyriazis of the Daily Express described Minogue as "the perfect partner in crime" to Moroder.[5]

Music Times stated "The tune shows Moroder's ability to mold a track on which he is collaborating with. 'Right Here, Right Now' features the best of both artists, with Moroder's oscillating deep bass and disco stylings under a soulful performance from Minogue that could have been delivered 40 years prior as she croons a stunning vocal performance from start to finish."[6] Chris Coplan of Consequence of Sound described Minogue's vocals as "seductive".[7] Coplan stated and the Moroder was expert at creating a song "around a vocalist and their persona", noting his past work with Donna Summer, and that "Right Here, Right Now" exhibited this with Minogue.[7]

Commercial performance

"Right Here, Right Now" had limited commercial success. In the United Kingdom, it failed to enter the UK Top 100 as it includes streaming data since July 2014.[8] The song debuted and peaked at number 74 on the Single Sales Chart on the week of February 1, 2015. It slipped to number 79 before dropping out of the chart.[9]

Elsewhere in Europe, “Right Here, Right Now” spent a sole week on the French and Spanish peaking at number 147,[10] and 40 respectively.[11] In Belgium, the song performed better on both Flanders and Wallonia Ultratip charts peaking at number 10 and 28 respectively.[12][13]

In the United States, “Right Here, Right Now” debuted at number 35 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs on the issue of 7 March 2014 and rose to number 4.[14]

Music video

Directed by Daniel Börjesson, the music video was filmed in December 2014.[15][16][17] Blake McGrath choreographed the filming.[16] In January 2015, a fifteen second teaser clip was uploaded on YouTube and in February, the entire music video was uploaded to Giorgio Moroder's Vevo account.[5]
